I've been so busy lately that I didn't have time to submit a "Ten on Tuesday" last week, so this week's ten if full of exciting things from the last TWO weeks... ooo! so exciting!
1. When I was back home from the hospital my mom took me food shopping. It isn't often that I have a fridge full of food, but it's great to have.
2. My mom and also went out shopping (while we were waiting for my car to get fixed) and while we were at H&M I finally got the silver bangles I've been meaning to get, I've already worn them several times.
3. Leading up to my appointment with the surgeon, I was very nervous. It was hard to think of anything other then the worst. Which is why I was happy to have a night relaxing and watching movies (and Jersey Shore) with the boys.
4. Speaking of my appointment with my surgeon, it went really well. It might sound odd to a lot of people, but I'm actually pretty relaxed about the whole thing. Mainly because I have 100% confidence in my doctors, and my surgeon explained everything really well for me, and showed me what the plan was on my actual catscan.
5. After several canceled "date nights" with my friend Kyle, we finally played catch up over a phenomenal dinner at a North End restaurant.
6. After dinner, Kyle and I enjoyed red velvet cupcakes from Modern Pastry at the Greenway. The Greenway is a small park in between the North End and the Faneuil Hall areas of Boston, it was built over the Big Dig for the city as sort of a "We're sorry for all the construction" gift.
7. I don't get fast food very often, but I treated myself to Wendy's (my favorite). Wow! It was great!
8. I have had my car since 2007, and the air conditioning has never really worked. I never really cared, since I always drive my car with the sunroof and windows open, but due to the crazy heat we've had this year I finally got around to getting it fixed. Now, I'm driving cool.
9. I was out at the laundry mat and this one woman decided to start talking to me. After she left it made me laugh because, she said to me, "do you do your laundry here every Sunday?", Me? Do laundry on a weekly basis?". Everyone that knows me knows that I wait months before doing laundry.
10. If you haven't seen "Hot Tub Time Machine", you should rent it. I'm a big 80's fan, so I thought this was great!

Ten on Tuesday
1. I got a new pair of dress code approved shoes on sale at aldo this week. They are cute brown sandals with dark green jewels down the front. I liked them cause I could wear them with anything, and they weren't too simple or too over done.
2. My kitchen has been having a little bit of a baking explosion over the past week or so. Baking always helps me escape everything else going on in my life, and has been a great help with all the work stress I've had this week.
3. During the baking explosion, I made two batches of yellow buttermilk cupcakes with homemade chocolate frosting. I decided to treat a few of my favorite businesses around Boston with a "random act of sweetness". I gave a box of cupcakes to my hair salon, one the the lucky brand stores, mac makeup on newbury, and lester harry's (a baby clothing store my friend works at). They were all very surprised and grateful to be given a treat for giving such great service.
4. Sorry to make ANOTHER note about my baking this week... But, I'm happy to say that not everyone can do what I can do. When I was making my chocolate frosting I followed the recipe (which was a new one) to a T, but it didn't turn out quite right. Being the baking pro that I am, I was able to fix it, and it turned out AMAZING!
5. There couldn't have been a more perfect time for a visit from my dear friend Casey. We spent Friday morning together and got a chance to catch up over breakfast at my favorite eatery "303 Cafe".
6. There is one good thing about unfortunate things happening in your life, it helps you to realize just how amazing your friends are. Casey crashed at my place on Friday night, and jumped up faster then lighting on Saturday morning when I woke her up bellied over in pain, she not only drove me to the hospital, but sat bedside with me while I was being cared for.
7. I had a nice relaxing Friday night with my friend Sarah M. shopping for things for her wedding. We were a great shopping team, we shopped the whole mall, checked out our options, and purchased just what we went shopping for, and nothing else. Sarah got a new bra to wear with her wedding dress (which I had a coupon for) and a pair of Michael Kors shoes to wear to her wedding shower. I picked up a bargain BCBG dress to wear to her wedding.
8. When you're bored in the hospital, it's the little things that keep you entertained. One of the most amusing bits of entertainment I saw when I was in the hospital, was a doctor that would walk by my room, he looked just like Spencer Pratt.
9. I had a chance to catch up with my friend Sara S. (who I met when in college). We met up at a place called "The Yard House" in Dedham. It was a really neat place, they are famous for "the world's largest draft beer selection". Sara and I haven't seen each other in over a year, so it was great to hear what has been going on in each other's lives.
10. Extra bonus about my night out with Sara S. is that when we were waiting for our table and went to the bar to order drinks, some guy picked up the tab for our first round! He was really old (seriously, salt & pepper hair) and had on a gross hawaiian shirt, but hey I'll take the compliment!
