The bells be ringin'

Hello all,

Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I had a busy weekend showing my friend Jessica around Boston. I had Friday off (a compensation day for working the previous weekend), so we spent three days walking around various parts of the city. Boston is so cute at Christmastime - I love it!! There are a lot of decorations, from lit trees in the park to huge lit stars that stretch from one side of the street to the other.

We went to the ICA (Institute of Contemporary Art) and they had a cool exhibit with some of the nation's most innovative designs in things like furniture, technology, science and fashion.

The weather here has been cooold. It snowed on Sunday and we still have a couple inches of snow/ice on the ground. On Sunday, my roommate got a Christmas tree for our apartment. We decorated it as a "family" on Sunday night. The tree is decorated very simply but it is so pretty! We didn't have a star or angel so we topped the tree with a fake flower we found in the house.

I am looking forward to coming home for Christmas. Only about 2.5 weeks! It will be here before I know it.

Work is going well - it's a busy time of year. I am working at the Cultural Survival Bazaar again this weekend. I actually really enjoy doing events. Plus, I'm becoming a pro at brewing coffee.

I have another busy weekend coming up... on Thursday, I'm going out with a bunch of women from work for tapas. On Saturday, we're going out for drinks because it's a co-worker's last day. I will miss her - she's been like a big sister since I moved here.

Well, that's it for now.

Hope you're all finding the magic of Christmas... :)
