Not much to write home about. Dane is being honored tonight (again) for being an outstanding employee at Denali. He's going to dinner with the president and other outstanding people. Good for him. I'm so proud of him. He's all stressed (for very good reasons) because he had to drive to Olympia this am (1.5 hours one way) then drive back up here by 1:30 for a memorial service for a Denali employee that was killed in a tragic traffic accident, then present a whole bunch of stuff he doesn't know anything about to a potential client since Denali canned the person originally responsible for said meeting. Poor dude. I'm sure we will definitely crack open some beer or wine and sit in the tub tonight for some relaxing.
We have two kittens right now that are adorable.
The new diet is going well, I've lost an inch from my hips.
I think I've mastered the almost fat free/calorie free cookie. Though I'm sure I'll get cancer after just one bite. It's made entirely using Splenda, Egg Beaters, and Smart Choice fat free 5 calorie "butter". The only calories or fattening thing in them are the chocolate chips. We'll see how they cook though, for now I've just been eating the batter. (bad Crystal!) (but not really cause there's no fat or cals)
TKD and BD are also going well, I'm slowly progressing at TKD and refining BD. HG and I are starting a power belly course as soon as our beginner course ends. That should be fun. Then we will probably break BD for a while and focus on the holidays, TKD, and gearing up for our master's program.
Only 9 more weeks till I have a bachelor's degree. Can you believe it? My plan is still to continue on with a master's, sit for the CPA exam and then from there it really depends on if I can get in to law school. If I can, then I'll do that but law schools generally don't allow leisure studies. To even get in to a good law school is challenging and not for those who simply "want the education" like I do. If I can't do that, then I will start the 3.5 year PhD program in business. RB decided to go that route, I'm so happy/proud of her. It's been nice to have someone lead the way, if you will. She's just got 1 week left of her UOP master's program.
Nothing new to report on the wedding front. Except United doesn't fly to Los Cabos so I can't use my mileage - bastards.
Gotta get back to work now, lunch is over and monsterous* payroll journals await.
*monsterous in this case is relative as HG's payroll journal probably puts my journals to absolute shame.

I've really been considering some sort of volunteer activity with our looking humane societies and rescues, but am debating on whether or not I can relaly handle it emotionally? I get way too attached to things you see and I'm not sure the "foster" animals wouldn't become part of our family eventually. How do you do with the attachment stuff?
I can't believe you are almost finished with school. What an amazing feat Crystal, I'm so so SO proud of you! Maybe b/c I remember the phase we were all sort of in at that time when you started, it wasn't exactly focused if you catch my drift. But in standard Crystal fashion, you went on your own adventure and didn't allow yourself to be diverted by all the drama, partying and insanity that surrounded us all at that time.
Props out to big DMan for yet another success in his professional career, I TOLD him things would get better, go Dane.
Side note, Mj started school today. 8th grade, big big man...big big attitude, but big big sweetness just lurking in that big big heart of his. Let's all think very positive thoughts for a successfull school year for The Maxter!
Dane is the man. You scored big time with that one. :-)
Congrats on the impending graduation!! A graduation party should be in the works, me thinks?? I'll be on my new sched by then, maybe I can make an appearance...
