Eyes on the Prize

Hey, A.

Clearly someone in the PTA or front office likes alliteration a little too much...Cute. Very cute.

I made it through the NHS informational meeting and application distribution, fielded some questions I couldn't answer, and generally wondered all day why I signed up for this. The answer came to me as I was driving home, smoking a cigarette (shame on me). Oh yeah, that $1800 dollar stipend, that even after getting chopped to $1200 by taxes, will pay for lots of extras I haven't had in two summers. Two summers ago I moved and bought new furniture and needed to pursue legal channels to get my deposit back from my former landlord, and last year I had elected not to get a balloon check. Talk about stu-pit. Anyway, this summer I look forward to having money to have fun.

Speaking of having fun, I should get changed and ready to meet C at my local place. We're doing a couple of happy hour snacks and will go from there, maybe something from the dinner menu.

Hope you're feeling better and that Muffins with Mom was a success.

Love,
Barb
