4/7/10

1. Feeling the urge to click my heels in my red shoes.
2. Helping FG craft a response not really requiring that much work since she'd built up a good base.
3. First time really speaking up in a weekly sync meeting about a YT ticket I'd been working on.
4. Getting everyone together to leave work a little early, and walking outside to find it a warm summer night. In April.
5. Fabulous, fabulous time with girls from work (AJ, MF, BB) to celebrate MG's birthday. Lots of gossip, lots of laughter.
6. Not feeling tired when making lemon bars to bring to work for MG's birthday.

4/6/10

1. Helping Dan find his new wallet, which had dropped out from his designated 'catch all' tray into the recycling bin.
2. Being able to get out the milk stain off my shirt after dripping on myself while eating cereal standing up.
3. Hearing from AJ that she'd gotten the role she'd been prepping for!
4. Getting time to catch up with SA about potential projects for this quarter.
5. Magically resolving a DSM error right before I had to leave work for class. Thanks for cooperating this one time, DSM.
6. Realizing I could spare my wedding blog readers from my feast/famine posting style with scheduling. Love you, internet.

4/5/10

1. Outfit of beige J.Crew sweater, pleated denim skirt, purple chucks, wood bead necklace, and vintage brown eelskin bangles.
2. Forgetting that I'd traded away my morning shifts and so got there before 10 and could just start working.
3. Lunch with AJ and MG. I prefer our smaller lunches than with many people from the team at once, since that's more chaotic.
4. Getting an hour-long massage with MG's favorite masseuse at the end of the day. Amazing.
5. Tailor being really nice and helpful through the fitting for the first batch of alterations from my CA vintage haul.
6. Finding a 'ginger spread' at Whole Foods. A good kind of impulse purchase.

4/4/10

1. Calling my mom and getting her suggestion that a family friend may be able to help us with the moving at a good rate. Need to research what the going rate for moving us would be first.
2. Feeling cute in a new-to-me blue dress with red flower print on it and an interesting neckline.
3. Getting ready in time to leave 10-15 minutes earlier than Dan stated as the time we had to leave by.
4. Dan's grandmother seeming to be in good spirits at the rehab center.
5. Good, pleasant time with Dan's mom's side of the family, first at the rehab center where they set out quite the dessert/candy spread and his aunts/girl cousins being inquisitive about the wedding plans in a nice way, and then a delicious late lunch with his grandfather, mom, and first cousin twice-removed/grandfather's cousin.
6. More quinoa with leftover arugula salad being quite the yummy combo, with TJ rice pudding for dessert, while catching up on Glee.

4/3/10

1. Hauling out my purple cotton knit dress from American Eagle in celebration of the lovely sunshine.
2. Meeting Kelly Prizel and her wife Natalie and being comfortable with them and charmed by them both (plus their bunnies and house and interior design).
3. Dan not throwing any objections to my wanting us to book Kelly as our engagement and wedding photographer and even coming up with the idea of have our engagement shoot in the park along the water in Hoboken for trees + NYC skyline.
4. Stopping at Trader Joe's on the way back and stocking up on all our favorite items (except Dan's frozen foods).
5. Delicious dinner for me of quinoa with peas and eggs with TJ's creamy tomato soup.
6. Watching Across the Universe with Dan and finding the music and dance just as enjoyable but way more trippy than the first time I watched it--how was that not a huge part of its impression on me?

4/2/10

1. Getting notice that we could leave early to enjoy the nice weather!
2. Helping AJ practice her training again and seeing her be more relaxed and confident about it.
3. Not dying after jaywalking in SoHo onto a street that I didn't realize one-way and getting side-swiped by a car. I fell to the ground but nothing got run over or lost, including myself, my bag, and my glasses. So lucky to walk away with just a wicked bruise.
4. Companionably waiting in line for a long time at Shake Shack (MG, AM, AJ, MT, and Dan).
5. MG pointing out the man sculptures, "Event Horizon" by Antony Gormley, scattered around the buildings nearby.
6. Watching most of Music and Lyrics and being struck by the catchiness that is an Adam Schlesinger song.

4/1/10

1. Really quiet phone shift in the morning, so that I could upload photos of the apartments we looked at last night for discussion with other long-time city dwellers with little storage space.
2. Discovered that banks will give out temporary checks, so didn't need to go all the way back to our apartment to get my checkbook. Hooray!
3. Being able to grab a bunch of eel sushi for lunch.
4. Beautiful day outside as I went over to Hoboken to drop off our security deposit so that the realtor would stop showing the apartment to other potential tenants.
5. Getting a pair of denim-ish capri leggings from Kohl's on sale twice (40% off, then Dan had additional 15% off coupon) from their Simply Vera line plus another 3 pairs of trouser socks (they keep the ankles warm when walking...)
6. Getting a note from EF that he thought the content of my presentation at the manager's conference was really awesome :)
