Yesterday started with taking a very reluctant dog to the vet.  Poor poochie.  She’s healthy, though.  After that, it was yet another trip to IKEA to get more furnishings.  I had tokli chaat at Bombay Talk in Iselin on the way home.  Mmmm.  Then we assembled the furniture.  Woohoo!

Today was a great day, too, especially for the girls.  I brought them up to the old neighborhood, and they got to play all day at their best friend’s house with a bunch of the girls they liked from school.  I got to hang out with two of my own favorite people (not Gayle, even though she’s one of them!), and – bonus – I’d come up to get a crown replaced on a front tooth, and it was perfect the first time.  We stopped at the storage unit on the way back and got more boxes, and I also managed to squeeze in a trip to East-West for lemon grass and palm sugar and black bean cakes.  Tomorrow there will be much making of Thai curry pastes.  And samosas, which the girls want more of.  And painting of hallway so we can put up bookshelves and empty some more boxes.
