Remember last week when I said "I have a couple of big things I'm working on...." and I couldn't tell you yet? Well, that was my sneaky way of dealing with the secret I was keeping... (I am an excellent secret-keeper... except for my own secrets - I always spill the beans)

So, I popped some bubbles at Ward 8 with Rob on Saturday night due to the excitement. I also got the Espinosa again. That little drink is so good!

We had the spinach dip, steak tacos and then Rob got the burger and I got the lobster roll. (Side note: So far, I love the food there, but, the lobster roll isn't worth it. It has a lot of mayo and onions... I'm a purest when it comes to a lobster roll - just give me a white roll and some butter.)

We continued the celebration with espresso martinis and a cannoli. Such a fun little night. So what were we celebrating? Well....

I got a new job! I am BEYOND excited. As many of you know... I worked for Simon Property Group as a Marketing Director for 7ish years. I moved on to the brand side of retail at Crabtree & Evelyn in the Summer of 2012. It's been a great experience... I've made amazing friends and I've learned a lot about the inner workings of retail that I've never experienced before. That being said, something inside me still misses the property management side of the business. Long story short... it came to my attention that the Marketing Director position at Legacy Place was open. After a few long interviews with some incredibly smart people, I got the job! I am elated. The timing couldn't be better and everything has worked out perfectly. I always say that when something is meant to be - the process of getting there just kind of falls into place. I really feel that way about this role. Eeeek - so excited!

Don't worry... funfitflavor isn't going anywhere. I love this little blog and the connections I make from it. It also keeps my marketing and social media skills sharp. Need to stay on my game, people! Anyway, I hope you all had a fun weekend to! Spring is almost here - it really is... even though it might not feel like it yet.

Have an awesome week! xo

Whew... this weekend FLEW! (do I say that every Monday??) Maybe it felt even faster because everyone around me had the day off today. I... did not. But, I made the most of it. Traffic was super light and I went to the gym this morning and got after some serious intervals and pushed the sled (does that thing ever get easy?... woof)

Friday kicked off with a lotttt of traffic... admittedly, I was rather cranky, but, had an instant mood change once I ordered this:

This weekend was a lot of fun. Ella (my 7 year old niece) came to stay with me in the city. She's just the best kid in the world... so fun, sweet, thankful, friendly, outgoing, and easy to please. We kicked off the day picking out the fixings for sundaes with Rob and then took an uberx to the aquarium (she really likes uberx).

We met up with Uncle Brett and navigated the whole aquarium. Ella loved it! I think we all agreed that the giant sea turtles were our favorite. The penguins and seal show were a close second though.

After dinner, we introduced her to the North End. Dinner at Pellinos and her first Mike's Pastry whoopie pie! She lit up like a Christmas tree as soon as she stepped inside... it was awesome. :)

{For those that don't know... I'm a HUGE Pats fan... I'm the commissioner in my fantasy league sooooo.... I'm not going to talk about Sunday afternoon... Ok?}

Since Rob had the day off today... I decided to treat the end of day like a vacation day. Poured myself a small glass of vino and made this healthy salad for us... this thing is jam packed with antioxidants and protein. Simple to make, too.
