Since neither my fiance nor I have any family within the state, my coworkers threw us a lovely wedding shower. It was very sweet and thoughtful of them.

Today at lunch, I received a package from one of the sales reps I worked with. I open it up and there is a 160gb ipod in there!!! All the sales reps pitched in and got me one as 'Stephanie Appreciation Day'. I cried and I never cry!! Congrats, Steph! That's lovely!  Ann

I got a free coffee table! LOL, it's all I can talk about today. I was taking out the trash early this morning, and someone in my complex threw out a perfectly good small coffee table by the dumpster. It fits perfectly in my small apartment!

Really nice food is something to feel good about! Today I went to a very nice restaurant with an atrium courtyard, shaded under trees. I ordered hake with the season's new potatoes and freshly picked local tomatoes, yellow and red. There was a sauce with sun-dried tomatoes and wild onions, delicately flavored with vanilla! I've got to tell you, the fish was good, the potatoes were very nice, the fresh tomatoes were lovely and the sauce was just amazing! Superb! Fantastic!!!  And for dessert, I had some pannacotta, flavored with a dash of licorice and served with fresh raspberries and a raspberry sauce! It was fantastic! And the weekend before last, I went to Alnarp, a sort of botanical garden some eight miles from where I live. I used my bicycle to get there, and it was lovely enough to cycle through the lush landscape of early summer. At Alnarp, I went on a guided tour, marvelled at the magnificent trees from all over the world, looked at a beautiful manor house from 1862, and sat in the park, under some splendid oaks, and watched and listened to a performance of the opera Orpheus from the seventeenth century, played on authentic seventeenth-century instruments. It was wonderful! [img] http://tinyurl.com/6bj9j4[/img] Handkerchief tree from China, in bloom at Alnarp. And here you can see a web-TV recording of parts of the preparation for the opera performance in the park. Anyway, it was lovely!  Ann

I just paid off my remaining credit card debt (incurred via living expenses a few years ago during a months-long bout of unemployment). It feels great for that to finally be done with!!

As of today, I have finally paid off my student loan (OMG, YAY!) -- I'm almost starting to wonder if now would be a good time to go back to school a third time. Just kidding!  I'm so going to sit and contemplate the many ways I could spend the extra 300$ a month I suddenly have in my pockets. hehe! Weee!

I'm on holiday - excellent! - and I was given a beautiful solitaire diamond ring on Saturday!  (sadly by my aunt, bless her, not my fabulous boyfriend since I haven't got one of those. It belonged to great grandma once upon a time and she just thought I'd like to have it now! Yes please!) Also, my music vid is coming along nicely...

Just (about an hour ago) finished the first draft of the RPG book I've been writing for most of the last year. Now I've just got to get it proofread again by Sunday, get a copy to the author whose work it's based on, wait for her OK on everything, make corrections, put an HTML version together, put together some additional content for the distribution disk, etc. etc., and hopefully send a couple of hundred copies to registered users by the end of the month.
Noooooo problem...
