About Me

I love cupcakes, the color pink, writing, technology, blogging, trying to learn Japanese, and walking from one end of Boston to the other.

 

I make it my goal to try one new thing in Boston every week, but sometimes I find things I love so much, I just can't tear myself away from them.

 

Boston girl since 1982.
