Well Irene, I think you’ve made your point! I hope all of you and your families and homes safely avoided her wrath. What a damper she caused on everyone’s weekends.

Or, tried to cause on ours. We had Red Sox tickets and since MLB refused to call off the game (despite the pouring rain), and since my dad refused to let the tickets go to waste (we weren’t getting refunded), we ventured out into the storm for some good ‘ol fashioned baseball. Ponchos and all.

I’ve been in Boston for four years now, yet this was the first Sox game I’ve made it to. Can’t say this is how I pictured it, but it was definitely a fun adventure nonetheless. My brother even had his hands on one of the fly balls! Until a grandpa grabbed it out of his hands, that is. It’s okay he had a cute grandson, we forgive him.

And then Sunday the crazy lady hit. And boy did that wind howl, from about 10 am yesterday and all through last night. Here’s the nautical outfit I wore to brave the storm, props to A Little Bit of Lacquer for the idea!

We’re still without power (I’m blogging from the train), so yesterday was full of candlelit board games and reading. Well, reading for my mom. Now that I’m a Kindle-kind-of-girl I couldn’t even read since our WiFi was out and I had no new books! Pathetic I am in this day and age, I tell ya.

But in all seriousness, I hope none of you had to experience anything worse than a power outage from Irene. My town definitely has some clean up and repairing to do, but more than anything we were lucky.

I’m linking up with a {little} dash of ash again today to share all these Instagrams. You all should as well, I want to hear your weekend/Irene stories!
