• Today is my close friend Courtney’s birthday and I’m so excited for her to open the gift I sent. It arrived two Saturdays ago, and I know she always waits until her birthday to open presents (as I like to as well), but I’ve been really pumped about this one, so I’ve been pretty giddy for the day to arrive. Would you wait until your birthday to open a present you received that early? Take my poll below!

When you receive a present earlier than the intended gift date, what do you do with it?

  • Ha, since I wrote this she decided to open it yesterday and loved it!
  • I was surprised the cats didn’t check out the new bench in the foyer right away. Ha. Now, this is what’s going on anytime I want to use it:

  • Long story short – something on me was STILL smelly after showering after Tuesday’s run and I figured out it was my watch! Ew! I switched out to a different band (and thought, “gee, I should really clean all my bands”) and ordered myself a new band for funsies (and it came the next day). Purple!

  • It’s been so hot here and while we’ve had the air on, it’s still kind of stuffy in our bedroom upstairs so we remembered to turn the ceiling fan on and whoa! It made a world of difference! You’d think after living in this house for four years, where there’s a ceiling fan in nearly every room, I’d remember to use them. Ha.
  • So much of my work is waiting on clients or colleagues to do their thing so I can do my thing… and it’s made me so anxious about having the ball in my court for too long. I fear holding something up, even though I know other people sometimes take their sweet time to get something done. I want to get things done ASAP. Why am I like this?! It’s made me like this with (some) other tasks in life too – just hurry up and get them done. Ugh.
  • And since we mentioned work – yay for that short work week! It’s my Friday off and I’m very glad to have a three-day work week.
