You like me. You really like me!

Thank you. (insert shot of me, standing at a podium, in a formal dress, wiping tears of joy off my face) I’d like to thank my husband, for never losing faith in me. I’d like to thank my parents, my agent, and of course, the academy.....

I just found out that my neighborhood association is going to elect me as their Treasurer starting in 2007. I guess showing up to their meeting that one time really endeared me to their hearts. It probably has a little more to do with the fact that the woman who is their current Treasurer is leaving and no one else expressed interest. There is some irony in the fact that I’m going to be their Treasurer, considering the Discover Card debacle in college. Nevertheless, I think they have chosen wisely. They even said I bring my best buddy Henry to the meetings.

This weekend I’m going to spend some time making Christmas treats. I just love the holiday season. I think I’m going to make toasted spiced nuts, peppermint bark and maybe a few batches of spice tea (a.k.a. hot Tang). It’s also my mom’s birthday and cute husband’s company holiday party so I’m going to be well fed this weekend.

On Monday we were assigned a temporary replacement for Maple Nut Goodies. Today the replacement’s sister died and she didn’t come to work. Very sad. However, it does bring up an important question. Does that job actually attract people with extremely dramatic lives and (potentially) emotional problems? Does anyone else have crazy receptionist stories?
