Oddly Relevant Fortune

Happy Thursday Everyone! I trust your week is going well! Plus, it's almost the weekend!

This week has been busy to say the least, but I totally am loving keeping as busy as I have been.  Plus, I am proud to say that I've made dinner for us every night this week.  Talk about saving the big bucks! 

Today for lunch, a group of coworkers and myself went to The Rice Bowl for lunch.  It's a local Thai restaurant that is just a gerbil tube walk away from our office.  The gerbil tube is a "bridge" that connects our building to the building across the street from us.  We call it the gerbil tube because it literally looks like a gerbil tube: round, clear and very plastic-y looking.

As is always part of getting any Asian cuisine, the meal comes with a fortune cookie as part of your dessert and my fortune cookie today was oddly relevant to what I've been going through.

Because I have been "sick" for the past two months, I have been feeling a large amount of stress.  Let me tell you, there is nothing worse than not knowing what is wrong and going through a slew of tests to only be told they still do not know what is wrong.  Thankfully I will know more tomorrow at my appointment in the afternoon.

On a completely unrelated topic, I bought some new pens today!

Aren't they so awesome! I know, I know, I'm a total nerd, but there is just something so exciting about writing in a color other than black or blue.  I will have to make good use of these pens on our calendar at home! Nothing more exciting than color coating everything!

I will make sure to give you all a follow-up post when I get my butt to the doctor for the next (and hopefully final) time! Have a wonderful rest of your day!

Question of the Day:

What is the best fortune you have ever received in a fortune cookie?

I love 1st Birthday Parties (plus doctor update)

Happy Tuesday Everyone! I trust that you are having a wonderful day! Right now, the sun is hiding but it is warm and in Michigan, we rejoice for warm weather in April!

I wanted to give you all a quick update from the doctor's office.  Last Thursday I went to the doctor to have an ultrasound done on my upper abdomen.  From what I understand, the doctor was looking for me to have an issue with my gall bladder.  This morning around 11:00 I received a call from the office telling me that my results were basically normal and that I needed to come in to discuss what is next.  What in the world does basically normal mean? Of course, being the worrier I am, the I automatically go to the worst possible situation, but I have a feeling that I am just over thinking everything.  On that note, I will be going in Friday afternoon to get my results and to talk with the doctor about what is next.  Once I know something, I will make sure to share it with you!

Have I ever told you how much I love going to 1st birthday parties? I really do love going to them! There is just something so fun about watching the little one open their gifts and smash their cake (if they're not too shy anyway).  On Sunday, Justin and I attended a zebra and pink themed 1st birthday party and I thought it was just the cutest thing ever! 

Everything matched! The table cloths, the banners, the balloons and even Aubrey, the birthday girl's, outfit matched.  I absolutely loved the theme because it matched all of the other parties Ashley had from her bridal shower to her baby shower, but it was tweaked just enough to be perfect for her little girl.

Ashley and Harry did a wonderful job coordinating everything even down to the outfit that Aubrey wore.  Aubrey had the cutest little headband and tutu that matched the whole party.  I cannot wait until the day that I get the fun and joy of playing my child's first birthday party.  It will be wonderful.  

Ashley and Harry did a wonderful job planning everything! We had a delicious lunch of pasta and other deliciousness along with some of the most frosting covered cake I have ever had! 

Luckily, Aubrey's cake wasn't quite so covered in frosting, but that definitely was her favorite part.  She kept putting her little fingers in the cake and licking the frosting off of her fingers.

I had a wonderful time attending this party and cannot wait until the next big event happens!

Questions of the Day:

Bowling at Cherry Hills North

Hello All! How was your weekend? Mine was super busy, but also very fun. 

Friday night, Justin and I headed out to go bowling with some of our friends and it was super fun! For $13, you could do unlimited bowling (for 2.5 hours) and rent a pair of shoes, so that is exactly what we did.  I have to be honest and say that I am terrible at bowling.  I mean, one game I got a whopping 40-something points, I'm that bad.  But none-the-less, I love to go for the fun of playing.

We decided to divide the teams into boys and girls because otherwise the guys would have whooped on us. The girls we so excited when we got over 80 points in a game where the guys have that by the 6th or 7th frame.  Justin is pretty good a bowling and I always love to watch him play because he gets really into it.

At around midnight, after 4 (or 5 for the guys) games and 2.5 hours of bowling, we made our way out into the very unexpected snow that was falling.  Sometimes I really hate Michigan because of the weather.  Friday night we had snow and strong wind, then Sunday we had 40 and sunny.  Such a strange mixture.

Question of the Day:

What is the highest score you've ever gotten in bowling?
