Pollish: yesterday, today and tomorrow

Yesterday we had friends visit for the afternoon/night--it was so nice as we haven't had much human/friend contact since moving. Today I had the surgery for the abnormal biopsy I posted about a couple weeks ago. Tomorrow I will take Ibuprofen and do nothing!

    Yesterday: Was my birthday and it was absolutely the best day ever. I have an amazing husband, family and friends. Today: I found out my first day of work at my cool new job will be Monday. Tomorrow: I will finish decorating the sugar cookies I baked today and send them off to my BFF in Ohio.

    Yesterday, DH and I unpacked and ran errands. We bought a ton of groceries using our gift cards and got some things off our registry with others. Today, I was back at work and it was less stressful than I imagined. I'm making slurptastic soup and doing some other household stuff with DH. Tomorrow, I have no plans besides work. I need to find some friends in Durham/Raleigh. HAHA!

    Yesterday: I added CHRISTMAS things to our Bed, Bath and Beyond registry for my Christmas Shower to be held in about 5 weeks. Today: I got out of rotation a little early, spent $100 on groceries (for one person) at Walmart, and am enjoying a glass of wine - the best well spent part of my $100. Tomorrow: I will be up at 4:00 for early rounds at the hospital (just like every other day this week) - but it's Friday Eve, so it won't be so bad!

    Yesterday I was still dead tired from our trip & didn't do half of what I was supposed to, including the last of the unpacking. Today I'm researching a design for a pirate cake for a work luncheon next week, & will start editing my vacation pics. Tomorrow I'll drive my friend's Magnum into work & (hopefuly) get to work on editing some of my cousin's wedding pics.

Tomorrow I will go to class, work at the fair for the first of 4 days (scooping yummy ice cream) and go out for drinks with FI and a friend we haven't seen in a while :-)

    Yesterday: Had a big grant-review at work, then had coffee with a good friend and talked about our dogs and wedding stuff.Today: I'm going to avoid Chapel Hill and probably hang out at FI's house in Carrboro per the instructions in my mail that there will be ridiculous traffic due to the game. Which we will probably watch. :)Tomorrow: We have our tasting with Durham Catering, and then I'm taking the rest of the day off so we can go to the fair!Grace I'll totally be your friend. Does your dog like playdates? Because my dog is all over new doggie friends... :)Kristy- I hope your surgery went well and you feel better soon!

    Our dog NEEDS playdates.  He loves new doggies and gets bored if he doesn't have someone to run around the yard with...  We live by Northgate Park in Durham and there is dog park there if you ever want a playdate :)

    I'm a day late.... oh well...Yesterday- I worked, and had showmars for dinner, and then we went to Marshalls to find DH some new work jeans- we found 2 pair of Luckys that fit perfect for 1/3 of what he normally pays for them! YAY!Today- I am working... blah.... I'll be sending my old prom dresses off to a store in Durham for girls who can't afford them, and donating lots of old glassware to goodwillTomorrow- IS FRIDAY! wahoo! Can't wait! I get off at 1, and plan to do a little shopping :-)

    Grace - I don't have the Wii fit but my friends that have it like it.  I think it makes slightly snarky comments though if you aren't consistent!
  • edited December 2011
    I'm a day late too, but want to play so I can procrastinate! Yesterday: I stayed home from work sick/exhausted and did 8,000 loads of laundry and made veggie chili. Today: I am at work and trying to piece together a massive undertaking in just one day. I am going to pick up a small cake from Cinda shortly, since we only got ONE BITE of our actual wedding cake. Tonight we are eating that cake!!! Tomorrow: I am off work!!! Packing for the HM and trying to get a grip on my preflight anxiety.

    I might get the Wii Fit then when we have more moolah.  The snarky comments might actually be a motivator.What games do you play on the Wii then?
  • edited December 2011
    lusher--I love that you are getting a small cake of your wedding cake. Will it be decorated like your cake? Was this planned or impromptu because you didn't eat much of it? And I can't wait until our 1 year when we get a small cake to celebrate with provided by our baker... trust I will figure out a way to get that cake even though it is in Greensboro and I am in CT.

    kristy-it's just a small cake, not decorated like the wedding cake, but I don't even care, I just want some!

    grace - i'm pretty old school and not really good at video games so i play the old Mario Bros.  love that you can download them onto the Wii.  Also Mario Kart.  Patrick is more into it and he likes anything that involves shooting.  We also play Wii Sports together.  Tennis freaks our dogs out though!
