I thought my epic NKOTB moment had happened back in June 2019 when, while at their concert at the Gahhhden, Joey grabbed my hand for a lift into the audience during a heart-palpitation-inducing rendition of “Tonight.” That was epic, but it was, in fact, topped this past July when my cousins, Lauren and Kerri; my… Continue reading NKOTB Redux
I'm really terrible at making time to post here. It's one of the many things I'm working on. It's been a hot minute since my last post, and that one was a bit, um, melancholy. I realized upon reflection that I was spiraling just a tad, and that it was time for a hard reset.… Continue reading Hard Reset
On October 12, Chef Paul Wahlberg, came to our home and prepared an absolutely stunning six-course meal. We were joined by my besties, Alana (and her daughter, Hailey) and Cheryl, and by our dear friends Jen and Bob. Jen is the executive of ALS ONE and she helped facilitate this amazing night. The best part… Continue reading The One with Paul Wahlberg
Last night was amazing! Aaron, Bender, Deb, and I headed to the Cape for dinner and then onto the Cape Cod Melody Tent for the Air Supply concert. After the anguish of the previous week, I was sincerely doubting my ability to enjoy a concert, even one that I had looked forward to for so… Continue reading Lost in Love
I’m going to see Air Supply! This is a bucket list item for me (#26 to be exact!), so imagine my excitement when I found out they are playing at the Cape Cod Melody Tent on August 8. A casual mention of their upcoming show elicited equal excitement from my friend Deb, and so I… Continue reading Air Supply: Bucket List Item #26
I awoke from a fitful sleep sometime after 6:00 tonight and went outside for the first time in days. The cold was surprising and there was an ache in my lungs as I inhaled the painfully fresh air. I squinted hard against the sun, which was still high in the sky, though descending quickly, preparing… Continue reading At Play in the Fields of the Bored
Last week Aaron and Jack and I packed up the car and headed off to Kentucky for my cousin Ashley’s wedding. My aunt Kathy, cousin Kerri, and goddaughter Piper also made the trip from MA and we had an amazing time! The wedding was beautiful, and we had a fantastic time catching up with family… Continue reading Road Trip
Aaron and I went into Fenway last night with Diane and Eric to see the Piano Man himself, Billy Joel. It was, of course, an amazing concert. But I did have a fair amount of difficulty physically, which was frustrating. Because Fenway is not the roomiest of places to see a concert, I only brought… Continue reading Piano Man
Scratch another one off my bucket list! Actually, this may scratch off a couple. Back in April I wrote about my adventures in getting tickets to NKOTB. After a misstep or two, I managed to get tickets for my cousins Lauren and Kerri, my friend Cheryl, and myself. Last night we headed into Boston for… Continue reading So This Happened…
To ring in 2019, we hosted a big family New Year's slumber party weekend. My cousin Lauren and her daughters came down from Maine, so it was the perfect opportunity to get the family together. I think it was the first time we all celebrated New Years together, at least as far as I can… Continue reading NKOT(Son of a)B; but first, Wahlburgers!
