Holy crap, I have no photos for you today! I feel naked. I always have photos lately.
I just came by for a quick update because I feel like I’m not dropping in often enough lately, and I may forget what’s going on. Currently at the forefront (apart from lots of work-project irritation) is the next fundraiser. It sounds like Valentine’s truffles are a go! Chris is coming over tonight so I can try dipping them (he made them professionally before, so he’s the expert). We’re planning on putting up flyers and the website on Monday, taking orders for two weeks, and then making them so the people who need them shipped will get them in time for the holiday. We were suprised at how many to-ship orders we had last time around. We sampled the truffles last night and they’re incredible. He made a couple with Splenda so I could try them, and I’m thinkin we should probably offer the sugar-free version, as people have requested it. SO DAMN GOOD. My mom snuck one from the bag my sister brought home last night and wrote me an email essay about how great they are. She called to offer to donate all the supplies we need to make them look fancy. This is going to be a great fundraiser. Our team has raised almost $6,000! I’m thrilled I only have $1,000 left to go. I’d be quite happy to go over the $2,200 requirement, you know. In case you were looking to throw some extra cash around. So, everytime I go to the airport, I bitch because Northwest Airlines never sent me a real Worldperks card. I always have to have them look up my number for some reason, and then I got this crappy little card I printed off the website. All my bitching subsided today when I got a new card announcing they had upgraded me to Silver Elite status. Ooooooooo! What that means:I flew a whole hell of a lot last year. What I get for it:
50% more frequent flyer miles (SCORE!!!)
Free upgrades to first class (um, I’ll believe it when I see it.) I’m very happy this arrived two weeks prior to my next trip. I will hopefully be flying to Alaska with my very own footrest and personal video device that I hear so much about in the cabin of the proletariat. Oh my god, I’m not even going to go into my tax/contract worries. It’s all so convoluted. I’m going to see that accountant as soon as I have all my year-end paperwork. I’m getting a bunch back, but I’m already freaking out about 2006. I kind of hate the IRS right now. Finally, I read about this on Wendy’s site today and of course hadn’t heard about it before, but feel obligated to steal it because it’s awesome. This week is delurking week! Have you been reading for a while? Have you ever said hi? It’s time to make yourself known! Since I don’t actually have comments on my site (there’s a reason, hello), I suggest you use the ask a question link below. Ask me something, or just say hi and tell me who you are or how you found my site. It’d be awesome to hear from you. And now I have to go truffling. Seeing you soonly,
Jenni

your questions, answered
q:Will you ever marry me? a: No. Now, if you’d have phrased that as ‘I dare you to marry me’, I wouldn’t have been able to resist. It’s all in the presentation. |
