February Newsletter - Shelli

I feel like most of my business is broadcast online everyday, so anything that I tell you all, you'll have already read it. Maybe this is a bad thing, but then again, maybe it isn't. It just means that my newsletter, which would be short anyway because I don't have any kids to update on, will be even shorter.

Here's the rundown: I've been moving out of the house where I lived for the past year or so for three months. It's taken a long time. Mostly because I lived with people who were scarily just like me (read: procrastinator, avoider of all things hated and general lack of ambition) and so it took WAY longer than it ever should. In fact, it is February 23, and while there is no electricity or water - the kitchen has still not been cleaned and Becca and Roberta may or may not have finally rolled out to drive most of the stuff to California. Notice the may not have had. Since, as of 10 p.m. last night, they had not. (UPDATE: I was just texted by Becca who said they slept in the cold house last night, on the floor....oh heavens.)

My new place is... well, not exactly what I was wanting. It's old. It's college housing. Every time I turn onto 820 North, I wonder what I was thinking when I signed the contract? The best news is that my contract goes until August and then I can leave. I wish I had the money to buy my own place. That would save a lot of grief. And it would be AWESOME. Alas, I am destined to live in college housing for a while.

I haven't finished stats. I DID do four quizzes last night and ordered my second test... which means, that I am ABOUT half way done. So while I might be celebrating already, it's probably a little too soon. However, that doesn't mean you shouldn't. The fact that I'm working on stats is cause for celebration. I've been attending class with my friend Jake. To say that I am more dedicated than he is - well, it's not saying much - but it is saying something about his lack of dedication. :)

I am trying to get my finances in order so I can do a lot of traveling this summer. I know there is the reunion in Huntington Beach, CA this year, and since it is a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday - I don't know if I will be able to make it or not. ESPECIALLY if my trip to London pans out. Which I'm thinking it will...because I'm determined to make it. I also really want to see my friend Jessica who lives in Naples, FL. I guess we will see how much I get for a tax refund....

Initially this money was going to go towards a newer car. But I have decided to put that on hold. Next you talk to me, I might be pedaling around on a DI bike, or something, because Louise has finally decided she doesn't like me - but until that time, I'll be driving her into the ground. And hopefully not shelling all my hard earned cash into fixing little things like alternators and tires and alignments and things like such as.

What else? I think that's about it. You see? Pretty painless. And not too exciting.

OH - and...

Moses 5
10 And in that day Adam blessed God and was filled, and began to prophesy concerning all the families of the earth, saying: Blessed be the name of God, for because of my transgression my eyes are opened, and in this life I shall have joy, and again in the flesh I shall see God.
11 And Eve, his wife, heard all these things and was glad, saying: Were it not for our transgression we never should have had seed, and never should have known good and evil, and the joy of our redemption, and the eternal life which God giveth unto all the obedient.
