I feel Happy

Retail therapy tomorrow. I'm looking forward to it Usually I don't get the shopping fever, but I'm feeling it this week.

Nsane/Diva- Sounds like both of you're guys costumes are coming together well! I would never would have thought of a plague doctor, really unique. Diva, you and you're husbands costumes are going to be hilarious Can't wait for pictures of both!

Got new vamp fangs, I'm a happy girl.

Pumpkin Spice creamer in my coffee. Mmmm
Also did some shopping today. Still looking for cooler weather clothes-sweaters, etc. that actually fit my style & body type. Been on the search for a decent sweater that doesn't make me look frumpy & some new boots that are a decent price.

I'm in a great mood right now. I was feeling really crappy in class, and then my mood picked up. I went outside and noticed what a perfect day it is. Then I went to go pick up an ice capp and a sandwich. Both tasted amazing.

On my way back to my apartment I noticed a little book shop. I went to check it out because there are a few books that I've been looking for and we don't have a major chain book shop close by. They lady was really nice and I guess she takes cats from the humane sociaty and helps find them places to live. I was talking to her about books and a few magazines. She said she would order what ever I wanted for free and I can just go in there to pick them up. She has a nice little store. It is very homey.

Did way better on my micro exam then I thought I would. With zero study time due to stress over my mom's hospital spell, I grabbed a 90%. I thought I would get a 70% at the highest!!

^^ Awesome, QueenB! And how is your mom doing?

I'm still on the boot hunt too. And I also could use some cold-weather layering pieces; when I switched my closet over, I put away many more things than I hung up, so I know I need more sweaters.

Some boots 1/2 price?

I've got my eye on these and these.

A good book and good friends made the night worth staying sober.

Holy Hell! A pair of boots without a zipper?!

Target's site is down, so I can't see these, but I'm really happy if I was able to help you in boot-hunting!

My old college is looking for volunteers to tutor in their academic resource center. I'm signing up for it, hoping to at least do a little networking with the college staff and administrators. I'd love to get a job there doing pretty much anything. I'm hoping getting involved with tutoring will get my foot in the door.

^^^nice! That is a great way to get a job, especially in your career field

I am happy that it is midterm break

Definitely good luck to you!

Got a new skull bracelet.

Was able to submit tonight's assignments on time. I was able to finish everything quicker than I thought.

I'm happy that I got my project finished after working on it for 36 hours. After those 36 hours I got a full nights rest last night.

MacBook was being funny the past week or so.
I had to reformat everything. Working smoothly now.
Sucks that I have to reorganize everything again. And remember all my book marks

^^Wow, that's the first I ever heard of a Mac going wonky. I thought those things were infallible.

Yesterday afternoon I was reminded of why I used to love my job so much.

Boss had me frame a set of British prints, mildly humorous illustrations about sneaking off with a paramour or getting drunk, things like that. He gave me a little bit of info on the artist, Richard Dagley (c.1765-1841), but so little that I really couldn't make it sound interesting as a bio. So I looked online for more info. I found a name here, confirmation of a death date there. And then HOLY SH** I FOUND HIS OBITUARY.

It was written by a friend of his, so the good points were recorded glowingly and the bad points were reported gently. And it was 1841, when writers rambled but in the most dramatic and flowery terms. I struck gold: I had opened a window into the life of someone who was nearly lost to history (well, the modern sense of history), and to my clients -- the only hard part was condensing the info to a single page, to be displayed next to the set of prints.

For me, this was exciting stuff. Wish I could do this all the time!

Awesome stuff Red.

I myself am happy about the test I thought I did horribly on, when returned was graded as a 91 out of 100, so woohoo. I still have no idea how I pulled that off.
