From Austin to Boston

So I’m here. Finally. It feels like it took forever. Yeah, it’s cold and people are not friendly (except for the Italian lady at Al’s Liquor Store – we bonded over Patrick Swayze. Oh and did you know Pavarotti died? Bummer.) The city is cool though. We took the subway for the first time last night. Pretty cool. Totally different world underground.  Oh, and I saw a rat. Yummy.

Our apartment is really nice but it is SO SMALL compared to our old place in Austin. I mean, we have to SHARE a closet. That is so not going to happen. And the computer I am typing on right now is on top of a box. I mean, seriously. But we have a great view of the harbor. I can hear seagulls in the mornings. What a trip. And the building has a really nice gym. They have touch screens on the treadmills and ellipticals and you can watch TV on your own personal screen. Super exciting! (Is it bad that this is the most exciting discovery I’ve made so far? Well that and there’s a S Bux across the street. I’m lovin’ that!)

Did you know that they don’t sell liquor at grocery stores here? I’m talking no beer or wine at ALL. What is up with that? How sucky. You have to go to a shady liquor store. This greatly impedes my New Year’s Resolution of drinking more.

Well I wanted an adventure and I am getting one. If I don’t die in the process or severely humiliate myself, I will have many more stories to tell. Stay tuned….
