Why?

How is it that I leave the house with my hair looking decently, and after class two hours later, I look like a homeless ragamuffin? What in the world happens while I sit in class trying to keep myself awake?
And why do we have to be so dependent on money? I need to find a way to win some serious cash, fast. It seems like the only problems that we have are money problems. Can't I just have a day of no money-worrying bliss?
Someday. And I seriously need help with my hair.

The Best Day

was yesterday!! Now, I woke up feeling a little sick, and after staying home all day yesterday from feeling the same way, I wasn't too happy with my life. I also haven't gotten a thing done since doing the dishes and laundry at the beginning of the week. I've been feeling very useless, especially because we're scraping the I trudged into the office and looked at my email. What did I see? A job offer!!!! A real, live job- and it just happened to be one that I've wanted for a long time: Tim Threlfall's assistant. Well, I was so excited that I suddenly felt fine and had a lot of energy. I didn't feel useless anymore, and started cleaning my house. Long overdue! Then I heard it was Audra McDonald's birthday, and we were going to see 110 in the Shade at the Hale last night, so for some reason I thought it would be awesome to make her cookies. So I did, and put a nice little note on it. Then we went to eat dinner at the in-laws' house, where we found out that Alex's mom had bought a puppy! We have yet to see her in person, because she was going to pick her up after the show, but we're planning on going over today. Her picture is DANG cute, though! Then, we got to see Audra. PHENOMENAL. I was blown away by the whole show! When it ended, I couldn't stop smiling for about five minutes. It was awesome. When I met her after the show, though, I was too embarrassed to tell her that I was the one who made the cookies. Silly girl. But she looked so tired and was gracious enough to talk to everyone who waited outside, so I felt badly taking her time. Oh well. Then we went to Applebee's with Cynthia Klumpp and family, Jennie Pardoe (who came with us to the show), Tim Threlfall, his wife and daughter, Kevin and Vanessa Goertzen, and Clotile Bonner and her dad. It was so dang fun!! I love having wonderful friends. It was such a great day!
