merry christmas!!!

merry christmas everyone!!! i'll post more pictures soon.

newbury st

today i took shopping to a whole new level.

boston's hit with a snow blizzard - it's freezing outside, snow/rain is pouring down, streets are soggy, icy, and snow is everywhere. but yet i really did need to get some of my christmas shopping done.

i got back 3 hours later - tired, completely wet, but with a sense of accomplishment!

tumi

i thought that tumi bags (22 in roller) were about 400 bucks, which was astounding, but they're actually more like $645?!

who the bejezus would buy such an expensive bag??? i guess my hope of getting one now is dashed.

last week

this week is quite a sad week for me - after 9 months, it marks the last week that i'll be in chicago (for a while).

i've loved this project - the dynamics, the client, the work, the perks, the city, the weather, the food, the lifestyle. i'm sad to leave. :(

settlers of catan

so recently i had the chance to learn how to play settlers of catan. i love it!! i didn't think i was really a board games person, but this is quite fun. :) i highly encourage everyone to learn it (mainly so that you can play with me).

kfc :(

unfortunately for me, someone in my office is a huge fan of KFC. ohhh it smells yummy!!! :(

after 6 hours of waiting at the airport

scenario on plane:

row 17, seats A B C <space> D E F
(i have 18D)

plane is completely full, but agent comes through to check if no empty seats are left. long story short, person in seat A was supposed to be in F. Person F was supposed to be in E. Person E was supposed to be in D. Person D is a old lady who speaks no english but had absolutely refused to move from that seat, forcing Person E who's pregnant and had warned that she will need to go to the bathroom multiple times to sit in the middle seat.

flight attendant comes, finds out the situation, and attempts to move old lady (Person D) to her rightful seat. apparently she's supposed to be traveling with her son (who is a few rows behind) but since i don't speak spanish, and she spoke barely any english, i wasn't sure why her son didn't retrieve her (bad son).

flight attendant then gestures to old lady that she HAS to move, to which the old lady got up, grumbled, and used her cane to whack the flight attendant on the leg.
