Happy Friday!

Well it's been quite the week. I signed up for a half marathon because I succumbed to peer pressure, got some big news that has been emotionally draining, and now it's the birthday of one of my nearest and dearest!

But let's go back to that half marathon statement for a second.

A combination of the majority of my friends signing up for it and me needing a summer activity to throw myself into left me $95 poorer and looking at a training schedule in terror. I've technically never run more than 3.5 miles at one time so most of training is probably going to look a lot like this:

Pretty.

In other news, I woke up to a text containing this video and it's probably the best way to start a Friday. Enjoy and happy weekend!

Food Discovery - Pig Tails!

I'll let you decide on you're own but I'm going to go ahead and call this one of the best, accidental internet discoveries ever. Top ten easily.

I give you....Pig Tails! (name courtesy of the beau's roommate during a serious brainstorming session)

Stick spaghetti through hot dogs, make an amazing homemade tomato sauce, and cover with cheese.

You are so very welcome.

Weekend in Review

Sadly yesterday was a sick day for this girl but even though I'm a day behind I thought I'd quickly throw together some weekend recap pictures.

It was one of my beloved three day weekends and I couldn't have been happier to spend time with the beau and the whole familia (it's a rarity to get us all together at once now that we're all "adults").

• The Book of Mormon - hilariously awesome • Homemade huevos rancheros - we're the beau is a breakfast making guru • Family portrait day at Old North Bridge - pictures of us in our matching outfit glory to come • Dropkick Murphys benefit concert • Sometimes I think things are funny like sunnies on a half yard or random goats found on fences - it's the little things yo

* I really need to work on getting a real camera as cute as my often blurry iPhone pictures are.

Aziz Ansari's Coming!

Last night I received some insider information got a Twitter notification that Aziz Ansari will be in Boston this Sunday night!

100% of the proceeds will go to The One Fund Boston and The Officer Richard Donahue Fund and on top of that the Wilbur Theater will donate $9,500.

Tickets go on sale at noon today and I highly recommend you get in on the party if you live in the area. I already have my ticketmaster account cued up and an alarm on my phone set to remind me.

And if music is more your jam, Dropkick Murphy and State Radio will also be in town on Sunday for a benefit show at the House of Blues!

So get your tickets friends because both events will be incredible and in support of a great cause (but please don't steal all of them, I need to get my hands on two of them!)
