The Superman

web_3.4.2012_super_barley

Pete calls this Barley posture “the Superman” because he has both his front arms stretched out as long as possible in front of him. It’s one of Barley’s favs, and it’s one of my favs for snuggling with him, too. It usually feels like he’s hugging me, because each of his paws reaches up on either side of my neck. Except when he’s adjusting himself and punches me in the neck and/or face with his furry little paws, then it’s one of my least favorite Barley snuggle postures.

Wahlburgers

Cheeseburgers are easily one of my top three fav foods, and when Wahlburgers was announced I knew I had to get there. A few of my coworkers and I are always talking about where the best burger in Boston is, and I’ve been trying to convince them that we need to go on a field trip to Hingham to check it out…the suburbs are a turnoff, but I told them we could take a ferry down there and back and they warmed up to the idea, but we haven’t had a chance to schedule it yet. I finally decided I couldn’t wait, and Pete and I had a car for the weekend, so we headed down there for lunch. It was tasty and filling, but it’s pricey! I got the BBQ Bacon Burger (no jalepeños) and the sweet potato tots. Pete got the The Melt and the yukon gold fries. Everything was tasty, but I would skip the sweet potato tots next time and go with the regular fries.

When I do convince my coworkers to actually venture out to the suburbs for our Wahlburgers field trip, I think we’ll opt for table service (you can either order at the counter and seat yourself or be seated at a table and have wait service) so that we can have some booze to go with our burgers and fries, and we’ll all reminisce about how much we love(d) NKOTB and discuss our favorite Mark Wahlburg movie (things that Pete refused to do with me, but I’m pretty sure my boss will be totally on board for).

Snow!

The lack of snow this winter has been making me really sad. This is a photo from the ONE DAY after we got snow when it was actually still around for a few more hours. It made me deliriously happy, and then deliriously sad (can you be deliriously sad?) when it was all gone after just one day.

Crafty

I really really wanted to finish a hat that I had started a few weeks ago, but after working on it for about thirty-five minutes I got frustrated and frogged it. :( I’m seriously lacking in crochet inspiration/productivity for the last year or so.

Number Four: (day twenty-three) Powerlines?

I totally ignored today’s Feb Photo Challenge prompt.

Sometimes instead of soaking up the afternoon sun in the living room, Barley will hang out next to me in the office window and watch everyone walking down the middle of our street.
