Who isssssshhhh it?

Today I am cursing the guy who showed up at the party I was at last night and announced he had been throwing up for the last 24 hours. I am a loving person, mostly, but this is bringing out the worst in me. I don't have much energy to do anything but watch a movie and then I thought, "I own like 5 movies and have watched them all 20 times. I can't watch a movie." Then I thought today would be a good day to do that blog post that I keep meaning to write, but I'm too lazy to write because it involves PICTURES. Yes, PICTURES. The magic word. So here we go. If you don't want to read this because you think you might catch whatever I have through the keyboard, I totally understand and hope you have a wonderful day anyway.

Three weeks ago (I think... time is running together) my friends KT and Joe and Rulon came out from BYU to audition at some music schools in Boston. This was my first time being a tour guide, besides when my parents came! I have to admit it was a little daunting trying to entertain such celebrities, but I handled it. Here are a few of the things we did. They all involved eating because the weather was miserable.Burdick's Hot Chocolate. My. Favorite. Basically I took them to all of the places that I like to go to because I wanted to go there. Classic KT and Joe.

Look at me smiling like a fool! Can I get a cheer for "AWKWARD!

Mike's Past: Somewhere I was hoping to never have to go. Heh. Heh. Heh. Anyway, check out KT and Joe in this classically awkward picture I made them take. The bummer is we cut out the homeless lady on the left! She was so photogenic!

A trip to Boston would not be a trip to Boston without a ride on the T, and the B line at that. I made them. We loved it and didn't even get mugged, bruised, or puked on. Perfect!!!! Look how much they loved it!And I made them pause for this photo-op, even though it was bitter cold, because we needed a picture of them "outside" in Boston. Duh. And they're even holding Mike's Past(ry) boxes. Best cannoli I've ever had. Only cannoli I've ever had.
And then look who showed up! With his parents, who were nice enough to take us to dinner at another of my favorite places, in tow! The Fearsome Foursome back in biznes.

8 thumbs up for friendship. ohmigosh tender!


And how about a classy picture at a grocery store? Love it.

Other unforgettable moments:

-Practicing with my visitors! It's not often that I have someone I'm entertaining vote that we "practice" as one of our daily activities. Yes!

-We went to hear the BSO Thursday night. My first experience with James Levine and his dancing feet. Elizabeth Rowe premiered Elliott Carter's flute concerto and we saw Mr. Carter at the concert! He's 102, folks.

-Lots of road rage. For some reason I was borderline hysterical with Boston drivers that weekend. It's okay, I'm in rehab. (?)

Such a lovely trip. Katie and Joe were troopers for letting me drag them all over Boston even though they were both sickies. And they auditioned when they were sickies! I get the compassionate award for the month for all of the touristy things I made them do while they were all hopped up on NyQuil (not really NyQuil... something else... but they were all hopped up).

Sorry, that wasn't very funny. I TRIED. I'm still lying in bed thinking things like, "wo is me" and "my life is so hard" and "i should probably will someone my flute" and "ughhhhhhhhhhhhh." So I'm kind of preoccupied with other things. Really important, okay?
