So, the last post stated that I was having a Christmas party. Well, it didn't have the turnout that I expected (hopefully caused by the fact that it was on a Friday night, either that or I really am a total loser) but we all still had fun.

Christmas was great. I was spoiled, I got an ipod, and a new digital camera with a new photo printer. I also got to talk to my cousin Lee for a while on the phone. He didn't get to spend Christmas at home, he works as a pilot and you can probably guess why it's really hard to get time off around the holidays. He's trying to get a job where he'll be based in Las Vegas. That would really rock. I miss him.
Heather also got me a Christmas/birthday/shower gift. It's a saphire/diamond pendant. She thought it would be perfect seeing as the wedding is going to be in blue and silver.

Speaking of weddings, hmmm. It just occured to me that mine is only 5 months away. I had my first anxiety ridden dream last night about the occasion. In my dream, we were having the ceremony this Saturday, but still having the reception in June. We hadn't sent out invitations, we were trying to call everyone, and my dress was wrinkled. Of course, that wasn't the only shitty dream I had last night. My night was filled with them. It sucked. Oh well, really crazy dreams that make me feel awful don't happen very often, so I hope that my brain purged enough last night to maybe spare me from another purge tonight.

New Years was fun. We went over to Rick and Shahnon's and Brandon brought his karoke machine (that my parents got him for Christmas.) Everything went downhill pretty quickly in terms of minds in the gutter and swearing in the microphone, but It was so damn funny. Even Brandon's brother was participating in the mayhem into the micorphone.

This Saturday, Heather, Shahnon and I are going to go to lunch, then we're going looking for dresses. Shahnon expressed that she has dress anxiety (which I totally understand, which is why I got my dress 3 weeks after I was engaged.) Hopefully, we'll be able to find something.

School

I got an A in my History class, and next semester I'm taking English 102 (my nemesis) and History of Rock Music (which covers my arts section in my degree.) The english class is online and the rock class is live. I hope the teachers don't suck.

I was supposed to be getting my NASA spacegrant scholarship back in October and I still haven't recieved a check. I'll have to call that lady soon. Show me the money, please. :D And thanks.

I can't wait until I can quit working and go to school full-time. In late August I'm going to quit my job and my husband is going to fully support me until I finish my degree. It was the compromise that I made with him. He didn't want me to go away to school (NAU) and I didn't want to get into debt while finishing my degree. It works out for everyone.

New Job

It's ok. I didn't realize that I would be coming in in the middle of a shake up. I'm doing Accounts Recievable. I've never done that before, well, to the extent that I'm doing it now. At Star Trek, I was doing A/R (taking in payments for service rendered) but I never had to invoice anyone, or track aging accounts, or deal with credit limits or clients. My former boss told my new boss that I was well versed in A/R. LIAR. So now, I'm pretty much flying by the seat of my pants. The girl that works there now doens't have ANY accounting backgroud at all, so at least there's that. I'm being primed to replace her, I think. Shit. It's such a small office, drama is so easy there. Oh well we'll see.
