Boston.

Nick and I took the 2 oclock T to Boston. Dave was on it as well. We chatted about books and music. :)
When we got to Boston, we took the red line to Harvard Square. It was a completely gorgeous day. Browsed the Urban Outfitters Bargain Basement. I saw lots of things I wanted, but didn't really want to spend the little money I had. Browsed Tower Records, Newbury Comics, and the adjacent clothing store. Kelli Alvarez was working, and we chatted briefly. I stopped at the Body Shop and bought White Musk oil because I love it more than anything ever.

I wasn't really sure how to get to the Science Museum without a car...and seeing as how we didn't come with a game plan, we scraped the idea and went to one of my favorite places in the Boston area, Davis Square. Shanon introduced me to this place because she used to live there. It's really one of the nicest parts of the Boston area. We walked to Annas and Nick tried REAL Mexican food for the first time and it was DELISH!
There was a bookstore across the way that I don't remember being there. It was very big and narrow and had lots of books that I have never seen before, all used. I could have spent hours in there. I found this great Fusion Poetry book that came with a cd. I also found this really old book and the story was called I the Keyhole or something weird like that. I really loved the narrators voice, and I'm not sure what the story is about. I also bought a book called Poison Ivy which is supposed to be a modern day cross between The Crucible and Lord of the Flies. I'm reading that currently and I think it's really good.
We walked towards The Someday Cafe, but to my dismay, they were no longer there. That really made me sad, so we just ended up going to starbucks and getting frappucinos and cookies. We people watched. We sat on "the slab" (haha shanon) in the common and listened to some guy play his guitar and sing.

By then it was 7 and we were headed back to the train station to catch the 8:20 T.

I think next time we go we will visit Quincy Market because I used to go there a lot when I was little. I definitely want to go to the Science Museum next time we go as well. Maybe we'll even go to Porter Square and try that Sushi place that Keith was telling us about.

Overall, it was a really fun, relaxing day with the boy I love.
Throughout the day, we were both gushing about how much Boston and it's suburbs are so much better than scum of the eath Worcester. I always seem to forget how much I love it there.
Our goal is to move there. Thats where we want to be.

We also stopped by Ralphs for Gauchers Birthday. AK, Gaucher, Erika, Malloy, Rod, Joyce and Melvin were there as well. We didn't stay long because we are not big fans of Ralphs, but we DID get pineapple/cranberry juice which was so good. :)

My Dad told me not to pay my medical bill for the emergency room. So hasn't every person I have spoken to in the medical field. They said don't bother. So thats one less thing I have to worry about.

Things are going rather well for a change. :)
