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!
