Pre-Summer Update

It's that time of year! You know, when everything is getting warm and the sun is setting a little later and it's so exciting, except for those horrible allergies that make you look like you slept once last week and got punched in the face a bunch and sound super-not-sexy. I am not complaining, I am just saying, I HATE allergies. Ugh. I feel totally sick today and got negative sleep last night. Of all the times in my life I cannot be getting sick! I have a wedding to plan! Not to mention the need to kick my ass at the gym for dress shopping and the engagement shoot and my bridal shower! Go away pollen!!!
But really, our wedding is so super close now that I am starting to get into some sort of zone. Sometimes I start looking at websites for dresses or hairstyles or shoes and I lose entire hours. Hours! My Mom is going to be here in a few weeks and we have 3 appointments booked for me to try on dresses and she gets to be here for my shower, which is so super awesome and is all because Emily is the best Maid of Honor ever! My main focus right now is getting all those little details planned and thought out - centerpieces, napkins, bridesmaids shoes - the things that are so super important but add up to some serious late night thinking bouts. I am going to NYC tomorrow and am really looking forward to those hours on the bus all to myself with my iPod and my wedding magazines and my to-do lists. I can't even remember the last time I had that amount of time to myself and am actually pretty excited about it. I cannot believe that this is my first solo bus ride to NYC - something I thought I would be doing all the time when I moved to Boston!
Speaking of moving to Boston - next week will be our five year anniversary together! Five years, four apartments and so much growth has happened since I left Reno in the rear view mirror and I must say I am so, so incredibly thankful for the life I have today. It truly is nothing at all like I envisioned it would be and so much more wonderful than I ever thought possible. I am getting married to my best friend and biggest source of love and happiness; I have wonderful friends in many different circles; I am progressing in my career and hoping to move on to something bigger and better before the year is over and I wake up everyday knowing that I am living my life to the fullest and striving to be a better person with each sunrise. I am so excited about what this summer is going to hold, but I am most excited to walk down the aisle and be Mrs. Stefanie O'Shea!!!
I have to load my iPhone with some songs, pack my best Sex and the City movie watching outfit and get ready to go get some Greek food when the mister gets home! Oh, and try to knock these stupid allergies out of my system! I think I forgot about them for a second!

XoXo

A Day in the Life: Food Edition

If you haven't figured it out from this here blog, my life is pretty darn busy but I crave routine and do a pretty good job at sticking to a "regular" schedule, even if it does start at 5am and end sometime after 10pm. One of my most consistent things in life is definitely my eating. I love to eat, and love trying new foods and new restaurants but during the week I am the most boring person ever because I literally eat the same things at the same time every single day. At dinner, we get buck wild, but between 5 and 5, I am like a senior citizen. Here is a day in the life of what I am munching on: 5:00am (or whenever I stop hitting snooze) : one cup of coffee brewed at home with a hefty splash of half and half. I recently switched to the "light cream" store brand but that is as low on the fat as I will go - milk just does not do it for me like cream does. Post-run/workout (around 6:45) : second cup of coffee with cream Commute breakfast (between 7:1...

Good-Bye Green Line

Tonight is officially my last night as an Allstonian. Or a Brightonian. I won't even live off the green line after I wake up tomorrow morning. No more 45 minute train rides that stop every block, no more "This train will run express to Packard's Corner". Tomorrow when I wake up I will pack the cat into his carrier, grab my purse and my husband will drive me and this baby in my belly to Dorchester, to our home, where we will have our first baby, our first wedding anniversary, where we will be "mom and dad" for the first time instead of just "husband and wife" or "Stef and Matty". I will use the vacuum cleaner Matty bought last night, the first new vacuum cleaner I have ever owned in my twenty nine years, and I will hang up pictures from our wedding, our trips to other states and time zones, pictures of our friends and our families. And on Monday I will wake up and catch the Red Line into work. It won't take too long, despite being fart...

Monday night and half a bottle of riesling.

You may be asking yourself now, "why the hell does Stef need a blog, she spends too much damn time on myspace/facebook/perezhilton as it is". Well, I have one because I need one. I get writers cramp too bad to keep a journal, and I can drink and type with much more ease. But really, I think this will be a good way to organize my thoughts, and keep my scattered friends better posted on my life. When your closest friends span from Seattle to Spain, it can be hard to keep them up to the minute on the important things in life - like what I'm doing on any given Monday night. (The answer tonight is sitting on the couch watching the Red Sox, while Matty reads the Augusten Burroughs book I just finished, having just ate a super yummy "smothered pork chop" dish that said Matty made, and applying for jobs at the Crime and Justice Institute). I really just plan on rambling on about my life, and sharing things that I think you ought to know like if Matty and I went for a bi...
