I heart Boston

Well, kiddos, today marks my first day at my new job with the Make-A-Wish Foundation of MA. It was phenom. Yup, I'm abbrev-ing. Shudder, I know. Anyways, I have to tell you, nothing makes my life better than walking into an energetic, positive work environment. I mean, there's a stuffed lion in the conference room and framed artwork done by children on my walls. HELLO!? Awes. I walked outside after my day was done and it was dark and Boston was lit up like a Christmas tree. I plugged in my IPod and buttoned up my jean jacket with scarf to look cool and trendy and thought, "Ahh, heaven."

Funny thing: on my way to my job this morning I got off at the wrong T stop. Obvs. I mean, in true Mariah style, I simply can't get anywhere the right way. So I walk by this sweet homeless man who asks for change and I say, "No, I'm sorry" because the truth is, I have no change. Those of you who know me know if I did, the man would have the damn quarters in his cup. He said it was ok and "God bless you," then he told me I needed a heavier jacket. WHAT??????????? I felt like a jackass. I laughed with him and told him to stay warm and forged on.

But wait. At this point I was still lost. So I found another homeless man and asked him how to get to Fanueil hall. He helped me. And I, again, felt like a jackass for not having change. Tomorrow morning? ATM stop first.

Final note. I'm pretty sure Chelsea (new roomie) and I are going to be doing a real meditation sequence man with an elderly Indian gentlemen. We met him by chance and learned all about yoga and centering the mind and how to stay young without face cream. Then he told us sex was very, very good and helped with our "oneness" and with clearing the mind. SWEET. So different from my Catholic upbringing that promised that with sex came babies, disease, a trip to hell upon death, and probably dismemberment. I'm switching religions. Damn.

More later, my loves. Sleep sweet and make the most of tomorrow.
