Today is Marcus' and my 11th Anniversary of when we "officially" started seeing each other. Wow. Sometimes it's hard to believe it's been that long.

I've been a little down lately. While we were in Vegas, the dry air made all my wrinkles really stand out. For the first time, I really noticed that I was starting to look old. Then, last Friday while listening to the Rush Limbaugh Show, I found out that I'm older than Matt Drudge. That just can't be! *sigh*

Current mood: scared
My house is overrun with wasps. Marcus killed one when he got home from work that was up in our skylight. Now there are two more in the window. One is probably the b*tch that stung me earlier (I read online that wasps don't die after stinging like bees do--pity). I have a terrible feeling that they're coming in through the swamp cooler. I hope they didn't nest up there. Anyway, Marcus found some old wasp killer out in the shed and is about to try to kill them.

Update: Yay, the wasps are dead!!!

Current mood: frustrated
Can I get a redo for this day? I swear this day has been the biggest waste ever.

I got to school and the teacher reviewed for our final tomorrow for about a half hour and then let us go. We couldn't have done that Tuesday and then had the final today? Then I wouldn't have to go take it tomorrow. Oh, well. So, I had time to finish getting stuff ready to turn in for the art show that was due today. I would've done it sooner, but the show is so unorganized this year that every teacher tells you something different about how stuff is supposed to be presented. First I was told that the black paper mats they were in from class were fine. Then I was told I needed to mount them on foamcore. Well, it turned out that things were supposed to be in frames with wire hangers. Not sawtooth, not preformed hanging holes that are part of the frame--wire.

While I was home working on framing, I stepped on a wasp. It got me on the toe next to my big toe. The last time a wasp stung me, I had a really bad allergic reaction. Maybe she didn't get me good enough or my socks helped keep the sting from being worse, but I didn't have an allergic attack. It did hurt like hell, though. I swear it felt like someone had jabbed a really hot needle into my foot. Then my toe swelled up really huge. Later I started a fever and felt totally sick. I thought I was going to faint at work.

After I made dough, I was supposed to drive tonight. The stupid manager told me not to clock in--they weren't busy enough for me to drive. ARGH!!!! I only had two shifts this week anyway, and then this. This is getting so old. How about doing something to increase sales?

Current mood: relieved
Ok, now that I've dealt with being bummed about the trip and I've got my notebook for class done that I had 4.5 weeks to work on and it was due today by noon and I didn't start on it until 6:30 last night and finished it at 11:30 this morning and I've only had about 3 hours of sleep because I'm a dumbass procrastinator and I can't take a nap because I still have to go to work, I'm feeling pretty good. *whew*

I also got everything that I entered at school (six pieces total, I think) into the art show that will be on Friday. Yay!!!! I just need to figure out where to get some cash to get frames for them. Oh, boy. That's kind of exciting, though. Last year I didn't have anything that was acceptable to the panel judges. If I have time, I'll scan them and post them in my gallery when I get home from work this evening. Just think of the possibilities for next year's show (if they do it in September like they were supposed to this year). Especially once I get my new printer up and running.
