[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This weekend’s festivities and bone-chilling temperatures were exactly what I needed to kick my holiday spirit into high gear.

Today: The Paparazzi Club goes to Portsmouth.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]As nine of us sat down for dinner at Portsmouth’s Black Trumpet, cameras were drawn from pockets and handbags and given prominent spots at the table. “Is this a paparazzi club?” our waiter asked. Sort of, if you consider artfully arranged plates of…

Today: Buyer (and brunchers) beware.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]I’m a big fan of shortcuts. Not short haircuts, necessarily… I spent much of middle school growing one of those out… but shortcuts that make life a bit easier. When a shortcut promises to make life a bit healthier, welp, I’m all ears.…

Today: Brunching at The Cottage.

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]After picking up our race packets on Saturday afternoon and a failed trip to Pee Town (better known as the child and creepy adult-infested hotel pool), Nick and I took a quick drive down to Woods Hole for lunch on the waterfront and…

[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]Sometimes I take for granted just how lucky we are to live in South Boston. And then I spot our building, as the boat we’re brunching on cruises past Liberty Wharf towards Castle Island and think, there is no place like home. This…

Today: The bad news sandwich.
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]We’re in the process of hiring at work, which also means we’re in the process of not hiring 99.99 (repeating) % of people who have or will apply. Nobody likes getting bad news. Okay, maybe that’s not entirely true. People who love to…

Today: Chowderfest (fun for the whole family, including the vegetarians).
[tweetmeme source=”elizabethev” only_single=false]This morning Nick and I strolled over to City Hall Plaza for the 30th annual Chowderfest. Like most good New Englanders, Nick is a big fan of clam chowder. I, on the other hand, am just in it for the oyster crackers. I…
