What now?

Not much going on these days except work, work, work. And on that note, we have the Pre-Holliday "party" this Saturday. The good thing is I surpassed my pre-sale goal by 50% *woohoo*, the bad thing is I'm still 2k short to make my month's goal. Yikes!

Then on Sunday we're having our "employee" party. Louis is taking us to Bowlorama after work which should be fun. The only problem is that I'm not going. *boohoo* I mentioned the party to Joseph the other night and he went ballistic. Apparently he had a very bad experience with a holiday party which excluded spouces, and now I'm going to miss ours because spouces are not invited. This sucks!!

I went looking for car insurance...

and was shocked at the quotes I got. The lowest I found was $1900 just for liability. That can't be right! I was paying $2000 for full coverage for my new car a few years ago. It looks like I'll have to take a defensive driver's class (which will cost me $50 anyway), and maybe I'll ask my landlord to install an alarm in the car, since he has an electronics business. Hopefully he'll do it for a good price.

And when will I be able to save the money for this????.....

Happy Birthday to me!

That's right, today's my day. I won't be doing anything special to celebrate, but I am amazingly glad to be in much better shape than I was last year. I still can't treat myself to my "usual" birthday gifts, but at least I'm not worried about making the bills for the month.

I was thinking about my mom when I was cooking tonight. 36 years ago seems like an eternity. I wish she was here, there's so much I want to ask her.

Thanks mom. I love you.

Singing in the Rain

I just heard in the news that Donald O'Connor passed away today. I've always liked old musicals, and enjoy his movies a lot. I wish there was a market for those type of wholesome movies today. I'd much rather watch "Singing in the Rain" than anything that's playing in the theaters now.

Early celebrations

That's right, I got to celebrate my birthday at work today. My co-workers surprised me with a delicious cheesecake and a card. Nothing fancy, but very sweet and fun. Besides that, I had a good selling day... yey!

Then after work I went to Macy's to pick up a few items I had on hold. Double discount for employees today; I love shopping when I get super discounts.
