- I got an A in my Network Security class! This brings my GPA up to a 3.854, which pleases my nerdly little heart to no end.
- three books I'm interested in (cooking, knitting, and crocheting) are available through the library. I'm trying to save money and space on my bookshelves by only buying books I know are "keepers," so I'm thrilled that I'll be able to check these books out and decide whether or not I want/need to own them.
- leftovers for lunch (chili!)
- I figured out how to add a clock to the taskbar on my work computer. I accidentally removed it sometime last year, and ever since, I've had to look at my phone (or a watch, when I remember to put one on) to tell what time it was, but not anymore!

I have a midterm to take after work today, so I'm busy studying, procrastinating, and panicking, although not necessarily in that order. 100 questions - all multiple choice or t/f, thankfully. The class average at this point? 51.8%. Holy shit, that does nothing to make me feel any more confident about this thing. What this means is that really all you'll hear out of me till at least 5pm is, "Meep! Exam!"
I finished the last part of my final exam today, which makes me officially through with classes, homework, tests, and the like for a month. Life without schoolwork feels gloriously decadent thus far. I can't imagine I'll get tired of it and start longing for the fall term to start up sooner, but we'll see how the rest of the month plays out.
I took the puppies to the vet for their annual check-up on Monday. All the tests came back negative, and Max has lost three pounds! I knew she'd lost weight because she's visibly slimmer (she has a trim little waist again!), but it's nice to know exactly how much weight she's lost. She weighs 11.10 pounds now, Jordan weighs 10.8, and Maddy weighs 9.15, all well in the range of where they should be. The vet said they all looked fantastic and that I was doing a great job of monitoring their body weight, and I preened like a proud dog mama, of course.
I'm in love with Smashbox's O-Gloss. I picked it up after Gemma recommended it, and it is fantastic. It turns a lovely shade of pink on me without looking garish. I've only had since Sunday, but it's already one of my makeup must-haves. Which brings me to my next point.
I am also in love with Philosophy's Amazing Grace. We smelled it on a waitress at Outback a couple of months ago, and it smelled so fantastic that I ordered some from Sephora as soon as we got home. Thankfully, it smells yummy on me too, and since then, it's the only scent I've been wearing. <3 (Interesting note: I like the perfume and the shower gel, but the lotion stinks.)
I have less than a month left of summer school. I cannot put into words how happy I will be to have a break from homework, even if it's less than a month.
We're going to see Mötley Crüe next weekend! SO EXCITED. Jenny won tickets to show, so we're going to be meeting up with them at some point during the evening. If I somehow manage to get Nikki Sixx to autograph me, we're going straight to get that tattooed over before it washes (or sweats :eep:) off. Seriously.
Lately I've been making salami sandwiches with colby jack cheese and mayo on honey wheat bread. It'll take quite a while before I get tired of them, especially with a small serving of Pringles on the side. My arteries are going on strike as we speak.
