What Goes Up, Must Come Down

Yesterday, I had another dress fitting.  It went really well, I got a cost estimate, which is below expected! Awesome.  One more fitting to go I think. 

My car's sound system? Fully working. (it always was, I just didnt know how to use it) It's hood-ready. ;)  Sub-woofers are something I didn't imagine I'd have in a car ever. But I like them. :)

Got a LOT of wedding errands done, then stopped to see The Associate and borrow an air mattress for...

my friend from home who came to visit.  It was fun seeing her and catching up on everyone back home.  She's in town for a few days to see her fiance, who is in school here while she is in school back home.  I met him for the first time last night, and he's very cool.  When they get married and move out here, we'll have to do married people doubles. :)

After they left, I cleaned my room and somehow lost my glasses.  Panic.  Worked on my craftiness and got going on some wedding reception centerpieces.  They're going to be adorable, and I'm really excited!  Watched The Pianist with TwinRoomate while painting, stayed up and said happy birthday to her at midnight... went to sleep at 3 am.

Woke up at 10 am, fell asleep again, woke up at 11, fell asleep again, third times a charm--woke up for real at noon.  I know, I do so much...I don't know how I handle it all either. . .  

Found out that the car registration is a lot more $$ than anticipated, but somehow it's going to work out, surprisingly.  Associate and I always make it.  I think God loves us or something because stuff just works out.

AND I found my glasses.

My dad is 50 today--HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAD!  I love you. :)

Work starts on Monday! Yay!

Gym time. Then dinner with my very cool cousins and uncle who are in town for BigLittleBrother's rugby game tomorrow.  Excited for another weekend with my Associate. ;)

A Great Day, In Other Words.

Yesterday morning my mother had mentioned in an email that something for a Boy Scout activity cost XXX hundred $.  I jokingly (sortof) responded, "what I WOULDNT do for $XXX."

This morning I was awakened by Southern Roommate coming in, "Hey Seg... Associate is here..."

9:30 A.M.  What kind of an unfair world is it in which a 20-something-year-old gets awakened at 9:30 AM unexpectedly, in order to DO TAXES?

;) I got over it when we concluded that Associate's tax return will be...notable. (Unlike mine...)  We submitted the taxes, and Associate's dad called to tell us: the total cost of repairs on the Old Car?  Well under what we were expecting. 

And, my parents were so wonderful to offer to help me out with repairs until my job starts and I can take care of things.

BUT, after PerfectMother told me they could do that, she told me she'd found a large (for me) sum of money in an old mutual fund of mine.  The amount brought me over the $XXX I had jokingly mentioned being willing to do about anything for.

Let's reiterate:

This morning, 9:30 am, I woke up believing Associate and I would be spending X number of $ on the car in order for me to be able to start working on Monday.
I knew I had $X in student loans needing to be paid off.
I knew I had $X in bills to pay in the next week.
I knew I did not have enough $ to meet all of those obligations.

Midnight tonight, I have more than enough to repair the car and life is just altogether great. 

I had my body fat measured. 17% body fat! 2% to go and I'll be at my new goal! I had no idea I had attained my initial goal, but I'm so excited!

We got a lot done tonight, and I found out good things.
We are both on the insurance for both cars now.
I got my parking permit.
My body fat % is 17%. I'm athletic!
My parents are helping me get my car fixed. :)
A random $XXX showed up in my bank account, an amount I believed I'd lost in the economy slump.
I drove my car--a stick--all by myself!
Associate's tax refund is going to be really good--and I helped him prepare it! Go me! ;)
God is aware of me and my needs.  That is for certain.  I needed what happened today.  And I think God knew that.

Seg=a happy girl. 

Goodnight blogosphere. :)
