What is going on in my head?

So today was a work-from-home-in-my-jammies day for me. My work has really improved their Disaster Recovery program so with the blizzard (???) I have the opportunity to work a few days from home. Cory's office just closed so he got a day home of video games- I am a little jealous. I am glad that I was able to work since I am a little stingy with using my vacation days but it would have been nice to have the day off together. And what else is going on in my head? Let me share... I think it is funny that people will plan shopping trips for months revolving around Black Friday to throw hundreds/thousands of dollars away but won't invest anything in the market for their retirement future when stocks/mutual funds are on the biggest sale they have been in a long time. I wish people like Mr. Scream-at-the-TV-with-my-sleeves-rolled-up-while-doing-a-stupid-zooming-thing would just shut up and start talking about the positives in the freaking world (I don't know his name or what channel he is on but he drives me nuts!!!). The Dow is really trying to go up- have a little faith people!!!
And then...? I am working on getting everything together to start my Master's Degree in the next couple of months. I suppose since I am here and not on the school's website getting more done, that may be an indication that school might be challenging but I am really excited.
And then...? I am running out of books to read. This may be a good thing with classes starting and my lack of focus at times but it actually concerns me a little- there is open space on my bookshelf... very concerning.
And then...? My obsession with Partylite has been revived! After being laid to rest for a few years, one party and I am full swing into figuring out what else we need to the apartment that we do not already have. :o)
And then...? I am also currently obsessed with finding a purse. I am using a tote that I got with a perfume and I hate it but I can't find anything else that I like. It needs to be just big enough to hold my planner but not much bigger. The search continues... (my birthday is in May if you find one that will hold a size 4 Franklin Cover planner but not big enough to hold a large notebook!)
And then...? In between visits, our niece Cadence went from being a baby to a toddler- just like that. Crazy!!! I guess the bonus is that any day now she will start saying Melissa- of course the step between her current "Uh-oh" and my name may take a little time- good thing she is such a smartie pie!
And then...? I am really excited my cousin, her husband and furry kids moved back to Iowa so we can see them the next time we come back or maybe they can come visit us easier now that they are only a 9-10 hour drive away.
And then...?
And then...?
No more And then!!! :o) (Time for a movie with my hubby! Sweet! Dude!)
