This is nothing short of miraculous!<\/p>\n<p \/>I have exciting news, and I hate letting it all pile up until I have to write a short novel.

We were in Hawaii last Fourth of July, and we&#8217;ll be in Alaska this year. That&#8217;s so awesome. Extra-awesome is the fact that my ticket cost $19.60!<\/p>\n<p \/><b>BIG NEWS #2:<\/b><br \/>Today Jane and I went on a mission. I had called Block E yesterday to inquire about the possibility of setting up a table for a fundraiser in their space, and found out I have to mail a letter and wait for approval et cetera. Well, the problem word there is &#8216;wait&#8217;, of course. We walked over to the IDS Center, and I went to the concierge desk to ask for a phone number for building management. Who should be standing there but the woman who&#8217;s in charge of making those arrangements?<\/p>\n<p \/>She was excited! She told us she wanted to do the 3-day herself, but didn&#8217;t have time. She basically told us we could do it whenever we want, we just need to fill out their waiver and have our signage approved beforehand. We need a couple weeks to get our supplies together, so it&#8217;ll probably be the second week in March. We&#8217;ll be selling pink wristbands, and cookies in the shape of ribbons. I will let you know when we&#8217;ll be there, because I would love it if you local-types stopped by to say hi.<\/p>\n<p \/>As we left, Jane said, &#8220;Man, you&#8217;re lucky!&#8221; I told her it had nothing to do with luck. It&#8217;s all about persistence.<\/p>\n<p \/>Last night was VB.NET class, in which I learned how easy it is to write Notepad, and therefore I want to write my very own Notepad. Just because I can! My application last night had a help menu with &#8216;Ask Tom for Help&#8217;, and there were two options: quietly and loudly. They would pop up different alerts with varying degrees of insistence depending on what you choose. Give me the tools to create things, and I will make something stupid.<\/p>\n<p \/>We got out of class early (I like to pretend he was being merciful, knowing we&#8217;ll be in class for HOURS on Saturday), so I still had time to get to the gym. Superdoublesecretbonus.<\/p>\n<p \/>Tonight I stayed late at work and pushed the new version of our software live. It took 45 minutes to get it running on three client sites, which is a new world record. I have to go to the last one tomorrow night, and then I intend to go out and celebrate&#8230; what else? Awesomeness.<\/p>\n<p \/>OK, I have another date with the YMCA now. I&#8217;d bore you with the exciting details of why working out while detoxing is the best feeling in the universe, but I&#8217;m being merciful, too.<\/p>\n<p \/>Til tomorrow?? Maybe?<br \/>Jenni<\/p>\n<p \/>\n<div align='center'>\n<table border='0' width='400' style='border:1px dotted #cccccc;' cellpadding='8'>\n<tr>\n<td>\n<div align='center'><b>your questions, answered<\/b><\/div>\n<p \/><i>q:<\/i><br \/>Were we twins seperated at birth?
