And I just found out how much (pre-tax). I am VERY happy.

YAY !!! Come visit us !

And today, I get to go to the HUGE Casino in the city and experience their all-you-can-cram-into-yer-bell-air!! Buffet.

Seems it's some sort of special occasion today, but I can't think what... ;)

I am having a happy, relaxing day at my folks' with the Rat. So nice to not have to run interference. I can just chill.

So, did we have a good Christmas? What did I get?:D

I JUST GOT SCUBA DIVING LESSONS FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!

(Thank you J!)

STEAK! I GOT STEAK!!!

My roomates, who apparently do know me, and the smoke I occasionally fill the apartment with, gave me a gift certificate for Spark Restaurant. STEEEAAAKKK!!!

You're really banking on that global warming thing bringing back that primordial sea aren't you?

Major construction work is done in the nursery! Walls are painted; closet storage cabinet is built, painted, and installed; Ikea closet cabinet built and installed; other closet shelving/bars installed; window shade installed; valence curtain rod installed; rocking chair purchased and shlepped upstairs; hanging wire for wall decor installed.

I've been going nearly non-stop since Wednesday. I'm exhausted but feeling awesome. All that's left is installing a ceiling light, small decor items, and organizing the wonderful piles of stuff we've received. I'm shocked I made it to this point before New Years.

I'm totally seriously happy to have GD as my awesome husband.
