Monday!
So let's focus on good stuff today.

On Friday, I looked amazing. My dress is hot, and I didn't feel fat. I also brought the girls out with my most amazing bra, which made me feel kind of weird because I usually have to dress so conservatively for work. Also, FYI, Hollywood Fashion Tape is the best thing ever. My dress was low cut. My bra was peeking out of the front; the back of my bra was showing in the back, and my straps were not hiding under the dress straps, so...I used the tape, and everything was flawless. It was a lifesaver!!! Anyways, I was way hot. Filming went well, although it was forever, and I was wearing my faux Laboutains, so after five hours in those things, my feet were DONE. On Saturday, I slept in nice and late. When D and I got up, we hung out for awhile, and then we walked over for a fancy brunch, and then we went to the museum and killed a few hours. It was awesome. This weird lady came up to us, and we got to participate in the Flat Stanely Project. It was very cool. At first I thought that maybe this lady was just insane, but it turns out that it's true. We lead the most random lives. Then someone gave me a free pedometer! Then we came back, chilled out. I was inspired because the kids at the museum were at an activity center making collages, and I wanted to, and D said I couldn't play because I'm not a kid and because we didn't have one. I briefly considered temporarily borrowing someone else's so I could play at the collage table, but D informed me that this might be misconstrued as "kidknapping." Blah, blah, blah. *Rolls eyes* So, when we came home, I cut up a million magazines and got some really good clippings for a collage. Then we cleaned the house, cleaned the fish tank, finished filming my one remaining scene, went grocery shopping, and had steak fajitas at home. Fun! Busy!

On Sunday, there was more sleeping in. <3 sleep. Then I drove D to his study thing, and then I took Mugs for a long walk outside. He loved it! We went all over. It was great to get outside a bit and watch him snuffle around in the park. Then I did a bunch of chores. I got my hair cut, and my stylist actually said my hair was healthy! Shocking! Then I went to Super Walmart to buy the stuff that we didn't buy at Price Chopper because it's so much cheaper at Walmart. I also went to PetSmart and bought Mugs a bunch of stuff. I don't know what it is about that place. I go in to buy one thing, and I leave with at least $50 of stuff. Then I came home and cleaned up a bit, and then we had dinner. Bill came home from Oneonta and didn't kill himself.

Ho hum.

Oh yeah, this is backtracking, but Thursday sucked. Somehow, we managed to get our project together. The professor said that she wasn't grading on the quality of the presentation, but on the quality of the analysis in the slides and in the notes accompanying the slides, and she said that everyone in the group didn't have to present, which I thought was a blessing, because I hate presenting, but most classes require everyone to present....so I decided to make sure the slides and notes were air tight, and I didn't present. Anyways, it was a lot like watching a controlled, professional demoliton: winceworthy, destructive, horrible, shocking, but...no one really got hurt. The presentation sucked. One of the presenters was the most brain dead guy in the group. I don't understand why he used his own notes, when he could have used the notes we all worked on together, which were perfect. He's so dumb. The other presenter was this guy who just turned in his thesis for another class and didn't turn in his slides until the day the project was due. It was obvious that he had never before seen any of the other slides he was presenting. So, it was painful, but not harmful. Plus, she handed out our graded exams that we took forever ago, and I got an A (!!), which officially means that I got an A on every single thing I had turned in, so no matter what happens on that stupid presentation, I should get an A. Plus, I'm listed as editor, so I get extra credit. Double awesomeness.

In finance news, my 529 and my mutual funds are kicking ass. Seriously, who earns 10% on their 529?? Also, this month, I'm making my final payment to pay off the $3,000 in private loans that I transfered using a 0% deal from my credit card. This is awesome because the debt is GONE, because I saved a whole bunch of money on interest, and because I paid it off before the deal expired, which is at the end of the month. Plus, I'm damn proud of myself for being able to pay off that much money while paying student loans and having a husband in school, and most of this pay off was before I got my promotion, so I'm super awesome. I think once it's paid off, I'm going to start saving the extra money in a matching fund so that someday we can buy a house....financial planning is cool. *kills self for being uncool.*

Now my boss wants to meet with me.

My hopeful future boss called a few minutes ago, and I called him back, and now I'm waiting to hear from him. *Crosses fingers*
