Nigella better watch out!

Hello Everyone!

I can't help but feel happy that it's the week. Also, the sunshine is making me feel extra happy. I remember what it's like to be in California now! I've finished my first round of midterms. They went okay - I could always do better. In my intermediate financial accounting 2 class, the professor gave us a talk about the job market and the different fields we can go into with accounting degrees. He seemed to be a little biased against government jobs because he said they were mindless 9-5 jobs which hardly give promotions and that we would spend our lives in a little cubical. Let me tell you, this is the best sounding job ever! I would love to work somewhere I didn't have to think, don't have to work overtime, and was left alone in my space to get on with my work. So, now I feel I'm destined to work in government. And to seal the deal even more, I got an email from my tax professor saying that the IRS is getting a buttload of money and is hiring everyone and their mother this year! Fantastic! IRS here I come! I will make sure none of you get audited.

In other news, Chris and I are on a diet. Chris is not weighing himself at all, while I am on the scales every hour. The first day I lost 5 pounds! um.... doesn't seem quiet right. The next day I gained 4.5 pounds back. Why do the scales lie? I have no idea. It's one of those cruelties in life. Actually, I feel a lot better because of the diet. I feel less bloated and my clothes feel looser. I also decided to stop drinking coffee. I was getting up to 3 cups a day. So, I went cold turkey and cut myself off and I have had the worst headache ever since! I guess I'm not through detox yet. You know when you can't have something, you always notice other people with that certain thing. Well, not only is everyone in the world walking around with cups of coffee, but I can smell coffee everywhere! It's like the world is trying to rub it in my face. Not nice World!

Besides that, same old thing really. Just school and work. Oh, I finished my duvet cover. I really don't know why I wanted to make one so bad, but I decided I wanted a new fancy duvet cover so I went to the fabric store and picked out something nice. I had to go back the next day because I didn't get enough fabric. I didn't really bother to measure the bed or the duvet, but it all came together in the end. I even made some pillowcases. Chris was really impressed when he saw it. He said he was surprised I had finished it and had written off the cost of the fabric thinking I would screw it up. I'm glad my husband has faith in me. Now that I have sewing out of my system, I think I'm going to make lampshades for our bedroom. I saw this cute design on a website where they used ribbon and stuck it on lampshades to make their own design. Doesn't sound that hard. Will let you know how they turn out next week. I'm a domestic goddess!
