It’s summer time!

And that means weeks and weekends are really busy!  Is it like this on the west coast and south also?  In the northeast, summers are always really busy with lots of plans and parties because everyone is excited about the weather finally being nice and we know it’s not going to last.  What happens in areas of the country when it’s nice all the time?

Anyway, earlier this year around the busy holiday season time, I told myself I wouldn’t let this blog stress me out and would only write when I have time.  I still stand by that now..which is why I haven’t written for awhile.  What have I been busy doing?  Watching the Bruins win the Stanley Cup for one!  And cookouts and parties and seeing one of my favorite musicians, Eddie Vedder, perform live – twice!

Last Wednesday was one of the best nights ever.  My bf and I had bought tickets to see Eddie Vedder on his solo tour months ago.  We had tickets to see him play in Providence on Wednesday and then Boston on Thursday.  Well, when the Bruins series went to 7 games and they were playing Wednesday for the Cup, we had to make some decisions.  I tried selling the tickets (along with every other Bruins fan) with no takers.  So my bf said to go for it and try to do both events – and he’s a smart guy because it totally worked out to be one of the best nights ever!  We left work early, went down to Providence and watched the first period at a bar.  Then we went to the show just in time to hear our two favorite songs.  The show was amazing and they gave updates on the stage on the score of the game.  In the last note of the encore, we left the show and ran over to a bar to watch the last 8 minutes of the game to see the Bruins win the Stanley Cup! Awesome!  Here’s a little taste of the night:

What have you been up to this summer?

    sounds like it was an awesome day. I am actually a ridiculous huge Bruins fan – missed maybe 10 games the entire season and attended the parade. I am sure like the players, they are ready for a stress free summer :)
