I&#8217;m dying. That bank is three times the size of the one I have. And a Paul Frank belt buckle?? Seriously, I&#8217;m dying of awesomeness. She has also set me up with her financial-planner husband. Between my accountant, Edward (giggle), and a financial planner, I might be mistaken for a member of the establishment. Shh, don&#8217;t tell anyone.<\/p>\n<p \/>Monday night, I had scratch-your-eyes-out PMS, so I bailed on all social activities and stayed home. I spent a solid two hours on the phone, and make remarkable progress on the aforementioned financial planning. I closed two accounts, had words with US Bank for making my life difficult (to their credit, they were very apologetic about it), and switched all my bills to my airline-miles card so that I can fully stick it to the man. This is one of those plans that would&#8217;ve led to immense disaster in my early 20s, but now I&#8217;m old and know what the hell I&#8217;m doing, and am very good at beating them at their stupid games.<\/p>\n<p \/>I also switched car and renter&#8217;s insurance, and that&#8217;s saving me $800\/year. How is that even possible? I have no clue.<\/p>\n<p \/>Last night at .NET class, Tom and I tried not to doze off during the chapters on the structure of XML documents, and the introduction to client-server architecture. We were intolerable during the SQL Server portion; to keep from whispering to each other the whole time, I wrote email and he read golf articles. The chapter on how to write DLLs and overloading methods and inheritance was good. But damn, I&#8217;m glad we&#8217;re through the fundamentals now.<\/p>\n<p \/>During the XML chapter, I downloaded some of the XML files from 404lab.com and proceeded to write a little application to manage the 404 of the week. I was so proud of myself! I won&#8217;t actually use it, though, because I&#8217;m more of a web-based girl, in case you hadn&#8217;t noticed. Still, I can do it. Now I wonder why I was so impressed with programmers before. Haha. Same thing I do, slightly different medium.<\/p>\n<p \/>OK, I got distracted for an hour or so and now I have to rush! Tonight we&#8217;re going for a walk. It&#8217;s March, which means spring, even if the weather continues to disagree. Today it hit 40, though! It will soon be outdoor-training time for the 3day! Speaking of which, holy crap. After everything is credited, I have less than $100 to go to $2,200. Unbelievable.<\/p>\n<p \/> No time for question-answering today. Because HERE I GO!<\/p>\n<p \/>Jenni<\/p>\n<p \/>P.S. Tragedy of the day? That fish can&#8217;t play canasta.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OH MAN.
