My New Best Friend, Logan International Airport

So it's been three days since my flight was cancelled and I am here at Logan enjoying the view... of many other people hopping on planes heading to their final destinations. :)

Oh well! Such is life. I've been frequenting Starbucks, making new friends and getting tons and tons of work done.

Not too bad, but I'm finding that I getting pretty sleepy today. A whole bunch of sitting around isn't good to keep the blood flowing. Typing has become my new form of exercise.

Thank the Lord (really!) for Internet access... even when you have to pay the airport for it. And, for friends who are willing to bring you to the airport, take you home with them and bring you back again. I am a blessed girl! :)

I hope to be enjoying a white Christmas sometime in the next day or two.

No Blizzard in Boston

So I'm still in Boston. Yep, I was one of the thousands of people that were "displaced" by the Colorado blizzard. I'm just a girl trying to get home for Christmas! :) Oh well, life could be worse. At least I'm not in some strange city... I just get to travel between my home and the airport... Although, I've yet to have the opportunity to do that just yet... the Denver airport is still closed.

Here's to the potential for standby and all of the nice people I'll meet while waiting...

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas (!) wherever you're at - home, airport, strange city hotel, or anywhere in between.

Jesus, the Messiah, is born!!! Let's celebrate.

Feels Like Spring

I must say that the weather in Boston is delightful... 50+ degrees! And, tomorrow is supposed to be the same. Hard to believe for my third December in the city; it's a totally new experience. :) I'm rather happy and wanted to share.

Magical Boston

Tis the season for beautiful lights, snowflakes, hot cocoa (or a peppermint mocha, you choose!) and Christmas! I love this time of year and living here in Boston causes me to enjoy it even more. Last week, I was in the Common for the lighting of the Christmas tree (yep, they chose to call it a Christmas tree this year instead of a "Holiday" tree); it was sweet to participate in this 65 year-old tradition in the city.

Although, truth be told, my friend and I grew weary in waiting for the actual lighting of the tree (there was a long program before they flipped the switch), so we headed to Newbury to do a little shopping. As we walked back through the Public Garden, bushes and trees began to light up and I exclaimed, "It's so magical!" I know, I'm a dork.

I've been thinking for a couple of weeks now how much I love Boston. I know that I've written that here before, but sometimes it's so striking... Riding the T to the office, crossing over the Charles River on the Longfellow Bridge and seeing the city reflected in the water when it's calm, the changing of seasons, the people and now, the Advent season. Fabulous!

This week, I caught one whopper of a virus and have missed engaging with the real world outside of my apartment. Boy, I've missed the city! Hoping to get back to magical Boston soon...
