Gorgeous Spring Day!

A few weeks ago, my company offered free memberships to the first few hundred people that wanted memberships to Hubway. Hubway is a bike sharing program in the city of Boston! I was slightly skeptical but curious and signed up for a membership.

Since the weather has been gorgeous lately, my co-worker and I decided to take a quick spin for lunch today! Here is what transpired:

Key to the City :)

PAX East 2012

Despite stereotypes, one of my absolute favorite hobbies is playing video games. Earlier this month, I had an opportunity to attend the Penny Arcade Expo (PAX). PAX is a gaming convention put on by the creators of http://www.penny-arcade.com/. I have gone every year since its inception in 2010 and this year was no different.

Without further ago, my PAX East experience in pictures!

Another reason to go to California: British stuff

Okay, I know what you are thinking: "British stuff on the West Coast...have you lost your mind?!" Well, here's just another reason to move Cali up on my list!

RMS Queen Mary in Long Beach. It's no secret that I am fascinated with old, British things and despite my protests, the "haunted" ship thing kind of intrigues me.

But what really sold me? A recent conversation with my mom that revealed my Grandmother immigrated to the US via the Queen Mary in 1946! Might not mean much to others but I think it's pretty cool and cannot wait to book a trip.

Who's coming with me? :)

ASPCA

Today I took a drive to the ASPCA animal shelter in Brockton. Every few months or so they do a fundraiser to help supplement the cost of running the shelter.

Being as I have two rescue pets now (and a third that I rescued in high school and lost last year), the ASPCA has a special place in my heart. Today They had a book/bake sale.

Of course, I have ulterior motives besides buying books: playing with the shelter animals!

I posted a pic of my favorite. Her name is Villa :)

If you plan to adopt a pet, go with an animal shelter!

Sloth Day

Literally spent my entire day watching Animal Planet and fighting over my snuggie.

Happy Saturday :)
