bad things about today:
* mike and i got into a fight on the phone while i was at work and i was afraid a customer would come in and see me crying
* my first psych experiment (relax, they're fun and harmless) was cancelled so i only made $10 doing that today
* i just broke one of my dinner plates

good things about today:
* i found ten dollars in a parking lot plus i made $10 off another experiment, wherein i got to watch children explaining math while remembering random sequences of letters
* when i got home, i found a beautiful necklace and pair of earrings mike got me to match a shirt i haven't worn yet
* i got up in time to make breakfast, had cash for lunch, remembered to bring a banana, and participated in class!
* it doesn't matter as much as i thought it did that i still have an incomplete grade for a previous course

the job interview went really, really well. but i didn't get it. it's okay because it would have conflicted with my last month of classes...not what i want if i'm going to graduate in june!!!

last night i had the very distinct pleasure of seeing my old friend ken on stage. he pretty much rocked. i loved hearing completely strangers laugh at his jokes and cheer him on. plus he opened for someone rather famous. awesome.

i may or may not get to see miss chutney tomorrow. that will be great if it works out.

dad just got back from his 10 days in brazil (tour of agricultural operations with my uncle, who is an ag professor at a big university). he says he had a fantastic time.

tonight i am meeting the boyfriend's daughters. we are going to watch disney and make pizza. i am really very nervous. although at least small children are generally non-judgmental and easily entertained. :)

i am still broke. selling the mattress barely made a dent...half the profits went to transporting it and feeding the driver/heavy lifting dudes. damn it. i wish money would fall out of the sky or something.

kick-ass things about today:

* i have a job interview at 3 pm!
* it's a phone interview so i don't even have to shower or put on real clothes.
* i am listening to TMBG for the first time in.....forever.
* i feel really happy for the first time in a few weeks. i am dancing in my apt. and drinking coffee.
* my boyfriend has, like, 8 different jobs today. god, we need the $$$....
* i JUST got a valentine's day package from my mom! haven't opened it yet. i love her.
* my dad is in brazil today! how unexpected and amazing is that? plus, i know he's safe which is the most important thing.
* i think i am finally going to sell my mattress today! i've had it on craigslist a few times. (see above comment re: money.)

feeling good.
