1. Technically yesterday, but I got my first real haircut in 2 years. I've just been cutting it myself. It feels wonderful to have had a professional to it!  :)

2. Meeting aimlesstraveler for lunch today!  :)

1. BF will be here to visit in just 9 DAYS! It still doesn't feel real yet, but its coming up so fast!

2. It's been in the high 80's for the past week in Michigan. Very unusual for March, this time last year it was cold and snowing. I think we hit a record high today! I love this weather.

1.  Going out for Mexican tonight for my birthday (a day late).

2.  Fast-forwarding to 2 weeks from now when I'll be happy about a few days off from work. (I've got to get through the next couple of weeks though first.)

1. TamaMoo is a walkin' fool in these last few weeks  ;)

2. Finally got honeymoon plans in place. After 2 ceremonies I will need it! Portugal in June! Woot woot.

 ;D Thinking of one we are planning for next week, the emphasis might be on fool. We've been talking about doing the outer circle bus route of Blackburn. We 'walked' it on google street view last night. Holy moly! I knew it was going to be a long one, but some of the hills are worse than I imagined.  ::) :o

Hooray for honeymoon plans! Enjoy!

Mine:

1. Sunshine and another walk. We're probably headed on a 10 mile round trip along the canal, which means lots of photo opportunities too.

2. Sunshine! That is worth a repeat.  ;D

1.) One of the alto sax players in my band, its his birthday. He's 93 today. Happy Birthday to him!  I hope I'm still rocking out at 93!

2.) Managed to get petrol really easily with no queues...  I apparently had less than 1/2 a litre in my tank (filled up, so I knew how much I had left). Phew for not running out and making it in time!
I've never gotten food on my underpants!

1. I'm finally down to the occasional sneeze or sniffle and feeling much better.

2. There are some cheese puffs in the house. (Yep, it is the little things that make me happy.) I always crave them when I am feeling icky.

1. After the initial annoyance of finding out we have to go back to London (at great expense) for hubby to have three days of tests to prove that his cold isn't TB because the US government is cracking down on things like that for visas, I am looking forward to the trip. We were just there Tuesday for his medical. All three days his appointment will be at 9am, leaving the rest of each day free for sight seeing.

2. Peeps. I managed to save one pack to enjoy this weekend.

1) Had an 'ah-maz-ing' day with worlds coolest nephews (knowing it is one of my last times with them while  in US)

2) #1 helped relieve stress on SIL who is trying to do tax prep stuff for clients as her computer is crashing on her. She was grateful.

1. Was able to get clothes out today. Otherwise I would have had to drag wet clothes up the street to the laundrette, because we both have things we want to take on our trip with us that needed to be washed.

2. Other than wandering to a friend's house later for a brew, we're having a lazy day. Even that will be a relaxed, few minute walk and then a relaxing time sitting around talking.
