The Third Degree

I just discovered this super-fantastic show called Cash Cab. How come no one told me about this show before tonight? I am LOVING it. I want to ride with him. I love trivia like this. I get SO tense when they get to the video bonus and they choose to go for it. I would SO walk with my money – even $50! The couple I just saw won $1800! What would you do with that much random money? With $1800, I’d buy most of a new 15″ MacBook. I think I could come up with another $200 if it came down to it.

Anyone else who has a wordpress.com blog notice the new layout/add new post stuff? I kinda like it. Smoother, cleaner, classier. I think. You think?

I have a photo shoot on Sunday. I am SO excited. I’m taking a couple to Jamison Park and Tanner Springs Park in the Pearl to do some engagement portraits (also for their Christmas cards). We’re also heading down to the Steel Bridge afterward. QUITE the adventure! I haven’t had a shoot since my Grams passed … and within the past few months my shooting mojo has returned. I’m thankful that I’m so excited to do some experimentation. I have some ideas in my head and they do, too. I haven’t done any photography in the Pearl in a super-long time and the excitement is building for me.

Tomorrow I have to open and close the branch. I’m not too excited about that, but I did get to leave an hour early today (the branch hates to pay overtime) so it really feels later than it is right now in my life. I got some work done and some more stuff prepared for my audit meeting (12/16). Work is about to change for us … Saturday banking begins for our branch in two days. Thankfully, the money I’ll make with Saturday banking (plus mileage, plus my bonus, plus my incentive pay for the RDC deals) is going to lead me to end up with a sweet paycheck this month.

I had coffee at 5:35pm. I am not going to sleep. Darned good thing I have half of Twilight to finish. Yes, I read HALF of the book last night. I read more during lunch today and am ready to delve into it again tonight. I can totally see why the world is obsessed with Stephenie Meyer’s writing. So easy to read and such a heavy, but still lightly written love story.

Health/pain-wise I’ve been doing better. The Diclofenac is really settling into my system and as of Sunday I’ll have been on it for two weeks. After that I’m supposed to see even more improvement. It’s still (thankfully) not bothering my stomach and I haven’t noticed any weird symptoms from it. I have been continuing to exercise and am watching what I’m eating and have absolutely noticed a difference in my body. Whatever it’s from, I’m thankful for the change.

This weekend is the annual girls only cookie weekend. J, E & I were all roommates in college and while J & I see one another regularly, E lives in our hometown and we don’t see her so often. This weekend they’ll do some Christmas shopping while I work and then we’ll get together for cookie making, stew and cornbread eating (mmm dinner) and then a movie. I’m in charge of getting the movie. I really have NO idea what to get, so we’ll see what’s available when I get to the video store. Oh, maybe I should go tonight. Nah, I’ll take care of it later. Maybe I’ll get something ridiculous like My Little Pony. That’d be amusing.

Alright, there has to be something more productive I can do, and you too!
