Yes, folks. I'm exhausted. And really it's just begun, because the holiday season is officially upon us. Why such exhaustion you ask? Well, I've had four straight days of going out and hangin' with peeps that I haven't seen in awhile. Now, I'm not a lazy kid - we do get out and about on a regular basis...but, this was outing overload (all in a good way), even for us! A rundown:

Friday, Nov 21 - Out with Mommy Cia's friend, Lori, who was visiting us from Philly. She took us out for lobstah at the Summer Shack near the Alewife T in Arlington. Yum, yum! They display huge pools of lobsters and the giant steamers that they use to cook the tasty critters. Oh, man. It was GOOD!

Saturday, Nov 22 - Out with my friend, Seba, and his Mommy & Daddy (they're bloggers, too!). We hadn't seen them in quite a while and met up at the Dogwood in Jamaica Plain. It was kids night, for sure - I think 90% of the patrons had kids in tow. There was live music - always a winner with me, so I was all over the place. Up, down and all around. I slept quite well that night.

Sunday, Nov 23 - Birthday Party! My friend, Julian, was in town with his Mommies to celebrate his 1st birthday. It was a great party and so fun to see him and all of his friends. They had some awesome food! The party was held in the community room at the Jamaica Plain Community Housing complex. They have a kids play area connected to the room, so there was tons of space to play and LOTS of cool toys to check out. I also slept well that night.

Monday, Nov 24 - An evening dinner with Mommy Jenny's friend, Melissa. Miss Melissa has been in town for the past week and we got to hang out a bit the Friday before last. Yesterday, she came over and graciously cooked for us. A fabulous, grand meal. Good eatin'. Good conversin'. Good, good, good!

As you can see, it's been a very busy four days and now I am recuperating as quickly as possible. Tomorrow we head to NYC (the big city!) for a Thanksgiving weekend with Grandma Bertha and Grandpa Jessie. Grandpa Jessie is already cookin' up a turkey for me. Last year, Uncle Rob gave me a turkey leg at dinner. Wonderful though it may have been, I didn't fully appreciate the situation and didn't partake in Thanksgiving Dinner to its fullest extent. This year, however, I fully intend on wolfing down as much as possible. Meat! Meat! Meat!

In December we're off to Florida for Christmas celebrations with Grandma Coca and Grandpa Bob. This year we will have an extra-special surprise, because my cousin Lucy is visiting us from Argentina. She's a ball of energy by her own right, though I wonder if she'll be able to handle me when I'm at my fullest potential...It'll be fun to watch, that's for sure. Heh, heh!

Until next time, have a safe and happy Thanksgiving!
