Savings My Butt

After two years of living without Daylight Savings Time, I am now highly oppose to it. What was the purpose of setting back the clock for an hour again? Personally, I would rather have more daylight at the end of my day rather than at the beginning. You're tired from having worked eight hours, and now you have to drive home in the dark?! Preposterous!

The Gala

I've been counting down the past two weeks, and finally, the gala is done and over with. The last two days were crazy, crazy enough to make me take Friday off from work to create auction display tent cards. Then, that night, I was stuck in the BankofAmerica building with E, trying to print them out on thick-ass cardstock that I bought from PaperZone. We eventually had to give up and let the experts (that would be FedExKinko's) do it for us.

Last night was the gala and instead of feeling triumphant, I was just really waiting for it to be over. It was a lot of work and a lot of time (I was in charge of dessert/live/silent auctions). I can never look at spreadsheets ever again. But if it's any consolation, this event made realize that Seattle does have good-looking Asian Americans. I have no idea where they hide, but they all came out last night enough to give me eye-candy and forget the pain in my feet. Who the hell needs to move to California, eh?

The Irony of Life

I know, I know. This place has been uninteresting this past month which has led me to question whether "having a life" actually means being so busy that you don't have time to do non-obligated life-full (versus life-less) stuff. Wait, did that line even make sense?

Anyway, as I declared to Pen via YM during my XHTML Level 2 class today, I have a social life! And here you thought I had a boyfriend and that's why my time on here has been limited these days. Ha! The Gala will be two Saturdays from now and when that is over, I think I can better assess if this "social life" is a new addition to my life, or simply a phase. I'm hoping for the former.

Guilty or Not Guilty

I now truly believe that Pen and I are (non-biological) twins: I, too, have been summoned for jury duty.

Oh, crap.

See You Again in 33 Years

Today, I took out money from my bank account and deposited it into a Roth IRA account. My retirement fund has officially begun (or as I'd like to call it, my Independent Woman account).

I've been putting off reading personal finance books, but my consultant suggested that I start reading up now so I know what the heck is happening to my nest egg. Besides my InDesign, Photoshop, XHTML, and Japanese/Korean language books, I'm adding Finance into the mix. Talk about homework. I need to channel the Suze 0rman in me ASAP.
