What a GREAT day!
April 8, 2010You’ve read the tweet. You’ve liked the facebook status. Now, read the blog entry! Here’s all of the awesome stuff that happened today:
1. I had a Facebook message from Mike F., my boss when I worked at Universal. He is, hands down, the best boss I ever had. I learned so much from him and he was always such a fabulous person. I was thrilled that he got in touch.
That was just the tip of the iceberg!
2. I went to the accountant’s office to pick up our tax return paperwork. We only owe $12 to federal and we’re getting a refund from the state. This is a huge relief, even if it means I made pretty much NO money last year. And the refund will cover the accountant fees! Bonus!
3. I spent the day in my new studio at PRAC, getting things squared away. I’m almost all done, but I already feel great in the space. The move was really a smart idea — being closer to the front door and to the lobby makes my job as marketing coordinator and gallery administrator a heck of a lot more productive.
4. I won $4 in the Colorado lottery last night. I went to 7-11 to cash it in and saw that they had my favorite candy, Bottlecaps, in stock. I haven’t been able to find them in forever and only one store in town was carrying them, but now I have my Bottlecaps again! Also, I got a diet A&W and man, doesn’t a cold root beer taste good?
5. I found out today that, thanks to President Obama and the Making Home Affordable dealie, we can still afford to keep our home, even with my reduced income. This, of course, is the biggest and most awesome news of the day. And our new monthly payment and adjusted interest rate are even lower than I thought they would be. It’s a MIRACLE. We’ve been waiting about 4 months or so to hear if we were approved and thank God we were.
6. I may have found an affordable projector for us to use at PRAC and I had a really yummy sammich at lunch. Oh, and Tim just suggested we get Five Guys for dinner, which saves me from cooking. These are little things that all add up to an AWESOME day, don’t you think?
I might even be happy enough to do some art tonight!
