Well, I am happy to report that I survived yet another birthday. I think I'm finally at the age that this annual reminder isn't so welcome any longer.... However, my 27th birthday proved to be not so bad after all.

[Flashback Sequence Music plays....]

I had to work on my birthday, but no big deal. It gave my husband, Jeremy, plenty of time to go out and get me something fabulous! I came home to find a beautiful happy birthday cake waiting on me and a new cd to add to my collection!

As a birthday tradition, my husband and I went out to eat for dinner that night, my choice, of course! I decided that I wanted to go to Olive Garden, my all-time favorite! After eating entirely wayyy too much, we left the restaurant and went to a pet store.....

[Dun-Dunnnn Dunnnnnnn]

Now, we've always wanted a pet.... But for some reason never got around to actually getting one. I don't know if we were just drunk off the carbolicious noodles from Olive Garden, or what.... but we finally decided to pick out a kitten!

Let's see.....

Eenie....

Meenie....

Minie....

Mo?

After much looking around, we finally found a beautiful, black kitten that seemed to like us as much as we liked her! She was a little, black, shy girl who needed a home.

 Awwwwwwe!

Anyways, she's settled at home now and is very healthy and happy! After a week of calling her "Kitty" my husband and I decided on a name to suit her personaity: Vixen. I also have to take her to the vet tomorrow to get shots....

Wish us luck! I'm sure I will have more adventures (or misadventures) with her!

Okay, okay... The last time I posted I was sweating my A201- Financial Accounting class..... studying for the dreaded final.... praying for an awesome grade.... waiting feverishly for my final course grade to be posted.....

[Pauses to build suspense...]

Well, obviously I didn't combust into a firey pool of left-over remains of a once sane student.

[Cheers]

Needless to say, I did survive (unlike what the Urban Legends suggest) and I've moved on to my Summer Session II class....

I'm taking E201 Microeconomics... which so far hasn't been so bad. We've reviewed Marginal Cost Curves [flashbacks to Calculus], Supply & Demand, and other basic ideas of Economics. These (and other ideas) will build our base foundation so we will be able to analyze "Real World" economic issues going on around us in business. I'm not saying it's a walk in the park, but it is more familar than the Perpetual-Inventory-Cost-of-Goods-Sold-Wages-Payble-General-Ledger thing we did in Accounting...
