Fun Holiday Movie Quote: “But for now, let me say – Without hope or agenda – Just because it’s Christmas – And at Christmas you tell the truth – To me, you are perfect – And my wasted heart will love you – Until you look like this. [picture of a mummy] Merry Christmas.” -Love Actually
Before being snowed in, we felt the need to get OUT. Mark, Jared, and I headed to South Boston to meet a group of friends who were completing an Ugly Holiday Sweater bar crawl. Southie is SO Irish; I saw this lovely Shamrock in the cement as soon as we hopped out of the cab.
Colin,bar crawl leader, gave us schedules when we arrived at Tom English’s Cottage.
Colin conducting the “Sweater Off” where we all voted for our favorite ugly sweater.
I loved that when I asked for a wine list, the bar tender just poured a glass of this unknown white. Okkkk, haha. Tom English’s Cottage was full of a lot of interesting Southie locals!
Mark sported an ugly sweater vest, but was lacking in holiday spirit.
We went to Playwr;ght next. I loved the atmosphere and the legit wine list. I had a glass of Malbec while I talked to one of the bar crawlers about making my own wine. I think I really want to try it. There’s plenty of space in our basement for me to set up shop.
We walked to the L Street Tavern and I had a Blue Moon. It started to snow HARD while we were there so we didn’t stay too long. Everyone headed to Murphy’s Law, but we hopped in a cab and headed back to the South End. Watched some of SNL and then crashed!
I had a blueberry VitaMuffin and a smoothie for breakfast. The smoothie blend contained
- 6 ice cubes
- 1 cup of frozen berries
- 1 frozen banana
- 1 cup of cranberry/raspberry juice
Our backyard has been transformed into a winter wonderland!
Snow everywhere!
For a dog who hates the rain, Miles really loves the snow.
He shuffled around the deck and carved out a little path for himself.
Then he decided he’d leave the safety of the deck and hop into the yard.
Miles looks like a bunny in the snow because he has to hop to get from place to place.
I’m watching the Pats/Bills game now…and planning to take my bunny-dog for a walk later this afternoon and then shovel around my car.

You were right near where my sister lives! She’s on M St so I pass the L Street Tavern ALL the time when I visit – but we’ve never gone in yet! Love the Playwright too.
I just dug my car out. Woot woot to cardio for the day!

Have fun shoveling your car out!
Looks like you had a great pre-snowstorm evening.
Miles looks like he had a great time in the snow. My sister sent me a video of her dog playing in the snow – he was having a blast!
