Five Good Things: Hello, New England Edition

1. A really amazing mini-vacation to Rockport complete with a walk on the beach, dinner by the ocean, turtle ice cream in a cookie cone, and a floating piano. Pictures to come. 

2. Tom’s gone for two weeks riding ice floes (can you even ride an ice floe? I don’t even know what an ice floe IS) in Alaska, so I’m a single lady until the beginning of August. On the agenda: trips to Ohio and New York to see sisters both biological and not, dinner out three nights in a row (!), and some quality time with Howard Zinn. 

3. I’m teaching myself iMovie, and it turns out I’m not a total idiot. Just mostly. Anyway, it’s really time-consuming and nitpicky in a way that really appeals to my OCD. 

4. Long walks to Castle Island justifying the consumption of generous handfuls of candied walnuts. What are you talking about? IT TOTALLY JUSTIFIES IT. 

5. I saw the Jonas Brothers last night, and they were DELIGHTFUL. I’ll show you pictures of that, too, if you’re nice. 

Happy Sunday. Be good.
