Let's get it started in here (poll)

Last food you ate?Nature Valley peanut protein bar. In anticipation of a run I never went on (instead I am blaming the rain and writing this post)

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant?Can out of state count? I love Trattoria Delia in Burlington, VT. It is so amazingly delicious but you would never even notice it unless someone told you to go there. It's like the Leaky Cauldron.

Any summer vacation plans?Lots of weekend and day trips but nothing big. Like Tanzania!! Jealous!

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does?DH does the laundry in our house and he always folds my underwear. I never ever fold it and I just cram it in the drawer. It's cute that he takes the time to do it, even if I think it's a waste of time.

Tell us something, anything about yourself.I have no interest in readying 50 Shades of Gray and I don't understand the fascination with it. But then again, I haven't read it.

Last food you ate? Bean casserole thing from the cafeteria at work.

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant? Chatta Box in Bridgewater.

Any summer vacation plans? Cape in June and Disneyland (plus Red Sox v Angels) in August.

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does? I appreciate that he doesn't believe in the snooze feature. Too bad for him that I do.

Tell us something, anything about yourself. I grew up in Florida but prefer it here, usually.

Last food you ate? I'm currently trying to choke down some wonky organic applesauce. The taste is good but it has a baby food texture and I don't know if I can deal with it.

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant? There are a couple of diners in my area that are pretty good. I don't know if I have a favorite though.

Any summer vacation plans? I'll be on maternity leave for most of the summer. We are taking a trip to Maine in August. Not sure if that will be a good idea with a newborn but we're going for it!

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does? He paces. A lot. Its funny to watch him on the phone or something because he is all over the house.

Tell us something, anything about yourself. I can not seem to get anything done at work this week. My focus has gone right out the door.

Rock, I'm so glad you got your trip sorted out! How long will you be there?

Last food you ate?
A mediocre tuna melt from the cafeteria.

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant?
Does Cabot's count? Because yeah. Cabot's.

Any summer vacation plans?
No. Unfortunately, summer is our busiest time at work, and I am flat out through July. I'll take some time off at the end of August, but we probably won't go anywhere. We do get to stay in exotic Sturbridge the night of my brother's wedding, woohoo!

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does?
He sings songs about how awesome I am. Even when I'm not there, apparently: I came home from work one day, and he was doing dishes but had his headphones in so he didn't hear me. He was making up words to whatever song he was listening to about how kick-ass I am. It's adorable.

I have an irrational hatred for text speak, and I always type everything out when I send text messages. I also check them for grammar and punctuation 99% of the time.

I love applesauce but kind of gave it up when I started trying to do a lower carb diet (note that I didn't say "low" carb, just lower carb, LOL!). Have you tried TJ's pear sauce? So good.

Yeah, I'm completely unproductive at work this week too and it's totally because of all this board drama. And because my job is stupid and a monkey could do it so I don't give it much of my attention span

I haven't tried TJ's pear sauce yet. I don't get to TJ's enough because the closest one is about an hour away from me (boo!). I'll have to put it on the list for our next trip! Thanks for the suggestion!

I think the board drama is whats distracting me too. That and I got a Cricut for Mother's Day and I keep googling projects and things to try.

I do the same thing!!! I find it easier to type everything out instead of having to think of what the "text" word is.

[peepers]

Thanks, Rock! I will check it out!

Hi- I'll use this as an intro. I used to frequent the money matters board as a lurker on tn but I am happy to see a Boston board here. I am from the south shore and live in Boston with my husband. We are expecting our first child any day now.

Last food you ate? Potato chips

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant? Anchovies on Columbus (south end)

Any summer vacation plans? Cape Cod- my family has a house there and a week on the Vineyard

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does? At Christmastime, he has a Christmas tree voice that he does and it is so dumb but it cracks me up.

Tell us something, anything about yourself. I am terrified of lobsters- dead or alive.

I realize you posted this days ago, but since it's back at the top and the board is slow, I'll jump in:

Last food you ate? I'm eating Kashi Go Lean Crisp right now, if that counts. I had pizza and fries for dinner last night. I'm usually not this unhealthy, I swear.

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant? Not sure if it counts as a hole in the wall, but Kabab and Tandoor in Waltham. It's really good and really cheap halal Indian food-- super spicy if you like it that way!

Any summer vacation plans? I'm going to DC in a few weeks and probably down to NC at some point. Right now, I'm just trying to make it to the end of the school year (I'm a teacher).

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does? he talks to our cats (I can hear him from the other room, but he doesn't know this).

Tell us something, anything about yourself. I'm trying to make it through the couch to 5K program right now. I've never been athletic so the fact that I can run for more than 90 seconds is totally thrilling to me!

[mrs.tbc]

Last food you ate? Morningstar Farms "sausage" egg and cheese biscuit.

Favorite local hole-in-the-wall restaurant? I second whoever said Cabots! YUM!

Any summer vacation plans? Planning to go visit my family in Florida for my niece's 4th birthday.

What's a favorite quirky thing your DH does? He makes up random songs about everything. DD does this too now. It cracks me up.

Tell us something, anything about yourself. I'm a vegetarian. I have been since Feb. 2009.
Also, like sporklemotion, I'm doing C25k but it's my second time through it. I did it in 2010 and then got lazy so now I'm back on the program, in week 4

Same here -- I grew up in Orlando. DH grew up in CT. We lived together in CT from 2002-2003, then moved back to FL, then to MA in January of this year. I love it here -- DH hasn't adjusted yet. You'd think the former new englander would have an easier time than the native born Floridian
