Weekend Recap: My dogs are barkin' (and my legs too)

So this weekend I was supposed to go somewhere out of town w/ db because it was my only weekend that I'm not on some kind of call at work. We didn't have a good plan so while we did get out of town, it wasn't what I expected. I saw on Friday that Natasha Bedingfield was playing at Hampton Beach Casino on Sunday night in NH so wanted to go. I asked db if we could go, he said yes (points!) and i got the tickets. i should have checked first if she was playing in boston but i was too focused on the sunday show so after getting those tickets i saw she was playing the paradise this tuesday, i'd rather see her there, but when i looked for tickets none were available so i didn't have to feel bad for getting tickets for sunday. it would be something different at least. never seen a show at hampton beach casino.

i'm already forgetting how things went. i met db at my place after work on friday. hadn't seen him in a week so was happy to see him again. we ended up waiting until real late to eat dinner so didn't have lots of choice. took beaky-woo and walked over to shangri-la since they're open until 2. got some yucky fried food for myself and db's spicy stuff. met some weathered but lovely people while waiting outside for the food. beaky is always the conversation starter. we ate our food on the bench in front of the fire station on cambridge st while people watching. then to cvs for candy. got wildly cherry m&ms, not a big fan usually but these were limited edition or something and on sale so i thought i'd try them, and some sour patch kids, and 2L diet cokes were b1g1, perfect! made it home feeling yucky after the food and then bed.

saturday was a really hot nice day but didn't get out until the afternoon. took beaky running while db rollerbladed. she was exhausted to do 3 miles in the heat and i was dying after my 7 miles. it was tough! at least i had db's butt to keep me going. i was totally drained after that but managed to clean up and take a walk down near the pru. we stopped in lord n taylor so i could try on some expensive dresses. found a great nicole miller but $400+ was well out of my budget unfortunately. looked for it online elsewhere but no success at all. went to lir for a beer and more fried stuff, just fries for me. what happened to the usual bartenders?? not a good food day, especially after running 7 miles in that heat but i would make up for it on sunday. after lir walked back to the common and sat for a bit then home and eventually to bed.

sunday morning got to go to the paramount. db's first time. it was good but not great. i made the mistake of getting a cheese omelet since i hadn't tried one yet but your money is better spent on the pancakes or belgian waffles. that's two times in a row now i've screwed up. after the paramount we headed up to nh w/ beaky-woo, the weather was now crappy and rainy. we hung out w/ cb watching the red sox, eating more fried food: fish n chips, ice cream: cotton candy and fluffernutter flavors for me, blah! yes i felt sick, db warned us but it seemed like the right thing to do. after a little nap on cb's couch and the red sox winning in extra innings, boo! we left for the concert. made it there w/ time to spare, missed the opening band but i wanted to anyway, had time to find parking, get cleo to poop and have a drink before natasha came out. i didn't expect much from the show since it was in a bad location and i usually don't go to pop shows like this but i do love both her cds so it couldn't be that bad i figured. she sounded great and it was lots of fun. i would still like to see her at the paradise though since it's more intimate. made the drive home from nh, beaky stayed in the car for the show, we got more food on the way home and then to bed too late for a work night as usual. i'm tired. db took some videos from the show. i'll have to post one if he gives me.
