Yay, I caught up! I'm going to try and remember the things that I wanted to comment on as I was reading.
Your bird is adorable! I have two cockatiels, but they're grumpy old men that don't really care for anyone but my dad and my sister.
I loved your pictures from Quincy Market -- I LOVE it there. It's not very far from me. I hate driving in Boston, but it's on the orange line, and there is an orange line station in my city, so it's really easy to get to. I like going there and to the Commons just to take pictures.
I really like all your Disney snowglobes. I can't even tell you how tempted I was by several of them when I was down there. I had to keep on reminding myself that I don't have my own place yet and I really don't have any place for them in my room. That will definitely change whenever I move out.
Finally, I hope you feel better!! I think that there are yucky colds going around -- my sister was sick, and now my cousin has the flu.
