Shopping was...OK... The closest mall to Brian's place (and both our offices) is right over the border in NH. No offense to NH, but they don't have the greatest Malls. Brian ended up getting a couple pairs of work pants, no shoes for me, and we decided he'll just wear a shirt and tie he already has! At least we saved some money right??
This obviously meant dinner at the Mall...more slim pickings...the food court just kind of grosses me out, so we went to Bertuccis's. I wasn't that hungry so I ordered the antipasti appetizer to pick at. It had roasted peppers, zucchini, artichokes, and asparagus, along with some roasted tomatoes, a few slices of prosciutto, some cherry tomatoes and fresh mozz. balls, and black olives...I think that's it. Didn't take a pic because I felt like too many people would see and be confused haha. It was pretty good...got my veggies and a little protein...mmm prosciutto!
One of my fav parts of staying at Brian's (after spending some QT with the boy of course!)...is going to my favorite little coffee shop in Andover...
Andover is such a nice town, with a really cute downtown. (the pics have some cones because they are re-doing all the roads and sidewalks...almost done though!) Lots of little shops! I love it, and his apt is within walking distance which is so nice in the warmer weather! Actually and in the cold weather too...we did walk down to the park in frigid March which then he proceeded to propose to me!! :)
This coffee shop is my favorite because they always have so many flavors of hot AND iced coffee, all brewed (not the flavor shots). This morning I got a hot pumpkin spice coffee with milk :)
This went really well with my oatmeal that was waiting for me in the fridge at work this morning...I was really looking forward to this since yesterday's bowl was SO GOOD! Today's was JUST as delicious! It heats up really well...2 min in the micro...stopping a couple times to stir and add water if needed.
I think I may take a lunch trip to Marshalls to continue the shoe search...the one near here has a HUGE shoe dept! Yay for thursday, week's almost over!
