Home Improvements

JFJ — Sun, 22 Jan 2012 21:04:48 +0000

We got started on working on the house today. We changed all the lights to not be super harsh, institutional-style bulbs. And we changed the cups in our living room chandelier – an inexpensive fix, but it made the chandelier not look so cheap. And we painted a few coats of primer in the front bedroom to cover the red. We are going to use that space to paint all sorts of samples to pick the colors for all the rooms. We are excited!

Celtics L v Suns – 79-71

The C’s are in a rut. Made it interesting in the third again, but couldn’t keep the W.

Celtics L v Thunder – 97-88

We got to see Perkins play at the Garden tonight. We miss him so much. People cheered so much for him. During the timeout, they played a whole Perk tribute that was awesome! The crowd went wild and gave Perk a standing ovation. He went to center court and waved to the crowd. It was actually pretty emotional. Jeannette almost cried, but was glad she didn’t, because the Jumbotron people showed a lady crying, and it looked embarrassing! But, again, it was emotional. And the Celtics lost.

Frozen Fenway

We hit up the hockey double header at Fenway today. We don’t follow high school or college hockey at all, but we love Fenway and wanted to see the novelty of a hockey rink set up in the infield. It was SUPER cold, but we had a great time! They moved the game start times up so everyone could get home in time for the Pats game! (Of note, there were no Tebow fans there.) Go Pats!

Celtics L v Bulls – 88-79

Fiallen Game 3

Like many games of late, the C’s start wicked slow, finally make a big run to make it a game (and exciting) and then lose. We had a great time at the game though, mostly. A few Tebow fans behind us had to be reminded that they were at an NBA game, and if they weren’t into basketball (why were they here?), they should realize they were in Patriot country. They left early.

We bought a house!

We’ve had a little bit going on lately, as we bought a house! It is a brownstone condo in Chester Square, in the South End. We adore our new place and are excited to do a little bit of work and move in! Mannie isn’t so sure yet, but we think he’ll come around!

P.S. We highly recommend our real estate agent, Ken Snyder. He is awesome!

Celtics W v Nets – 70-89

Fiallen Celtics Game 2

We were lucky enough to see another Celtics W. Brandon Bass was a great pick-up! Super fun to watch.

New Year’s Eve

We spent New Year’s Eve with the boys. We (Daniel) made homemade raviolis from scratch! It was super fun AND super yummy! We brought the Wii down with us and played lots of games. It was a great New Year’s Eve. Daniel even made French toast in the morning! A great start to the New Year!

Celtics W v Pistons – 85-96

JFJ — Fri, 30 Dec 2011 22:38:05 +0000

Fiallen Game 1

We saw the C’s first W of the season for our first game of the season. It was also Paul’s first game back. The announcer at the game got to tell the crowd, as the news said he wouldn’t be playing. The crowd went crazy. The picture of Quisy below from warm-ups came out pretty cool. We were at the scary game where he got hurt so bad. We like having him back.

Christmas

JFJ — Sun, 25 Dec 2011 22:26:56 +0000

As we have already celebrated Christmas with our Fiala family in Cincinnati during Oktoberfest and also already celebrated Christmas with our Allen family in Seattle over Thanksgiving – we had a little Boston Christmas together here in cold Boston. We enjoyed our day together very much, making overnight coffee cake in the morning before going to church, making a stuffed pork loin for dinner, and baking a few pumpkin pies. It was a lovely day.
