It's Always Sunny in Boston

Remember that one time I wrote about how every weekend should be 3 days? And that I am personally willing to take a hit to the GDP to achieve this feat? Well I stand by that. Except this particular weekend is even better... F-O-U-R whole days off!

I celebrated Day One of Four by sleeping in, getting a haircut (the first one in over 9 months), and taking the world's longest trip to Target. During which time I decided to try this ridiculous $22.99 bottle of shampoo. Every time I get a haircut, I always get talked into trying some new and expensive hair product. But I was out of shampoo, what can I say. At least it's a big bottle. (However, if you plan on being a guest in my apartment anytime soon, it would be much appreciated if you could please bring your own shampoo.)

I also went to my very first full-service gas station today. Massachusetts has a lot of full-service stations, but I have been protesting and going out of my way to avoid them. I've always thought it seems unnecessary to have someone else pump my gas. How judgy of me. As it turns out, I could get used to full service stations. Especially during the winter when it's 15 degrees outside and I have to stand there and hold the pump because I have yet to find a single one that has a properly-working pump-lock-thingy in the entire state of Massachusetts.

I am concluding the night by (hopefully) watching the Celtics win their spot in the championship series, and eating banana-flavored ice cream. I am slightly obsessed with banana-flavored anything.

I feel so productive and it's not even Saturday yet! Also, thank you Massachusetts for a perfect sunny-but-breezy day. I will even forgive you for all that humidity we had earlier this week. But if you could please avoid bringing any more of that, I would personally appreciate it. It makes me feel sticky and it does bad things to my hair.

California, I heard you were getting some rain? Aw. That's rough. I have brought back the sundresses and sandals over here in New England.

Beach-time this weekend? At the Atlantic Ocean? Maybe so. 3 more days and the possibilities are limitless.
