The good professor’s last hurrah
Our Advanced Financial Management final went live this morning. Six problems, each with at least four parts. Here’s one:

Take On Me. Literally.
OMG, I laughed at this so hard I almost peed my pants.

Catching up
I’m in super-high-efficiency mode today. Which means I’m getting a lot done and bugging everyone around me with my perky attitude and machine-gun-style rambling. And I haven’t even had caffeine!

All smiles
I’m going through my archives, which isn’t exactly the right word for it, as I’m also going through files that are only weeks or even days old, but anyway, I’m going through looking for stuff to play around with. Since, you know, I actually have an evening “off.”

Sharing
My friend at work likes to make jewelry. Beads are to her what lenses are to me. We have many discussions over lunch about our respective passions, and how important it is to have something that serves so many purposes in your life (joy, time-killer, independence producer, escape, etc.). She shares her passion with me by bestowing jewelry upon me way too often. I’m trying to share mine with her by creating photographs of her work for her. She gets bored after one iteration, so all of her pieces are original, one-of-a-kinds. I once asked her if she had photographs of them, so she could at least remember what she’s done. Nope. She just makes ’em and moves on, but isn’t that a great idea?

Reduced Speed Ahead
Great day today. Little bit of photography, little bit of matting, little bit of Photoshopping, little bit of schoolwork (very little…in fact, all I did was turn in my peer evaluation for my “group” project…after two glasses of wine – hee!), little bit of housework, little bit of errand running, and a whole lot of Zoe Time.

Saturday Mornings
While this wasn’t taken yesterday morning, it was taken on a recent Saturday morning and is pretty typical of our Saturday mornings.

Paper Tiger
Last night, being slightly ahead in class and apparently ready for some self-flagellation, I dove into our personal finances, which have been piling up for a couple months. We always pay our bills on time, that’s not what I’m saying. Everything even got paid right after my wrist surgery, although it looked like a drunk wrote out the checks. It’s just that all the paid bills piled up instead of being filed all nice and neat-like in my Anal-Retentive Bill Binder (ARBB). (I should patent the ARBB…it’s that effective. You know, when you actually use it.) In an attempt to stave off the chaos about a month ago I created a folder for Things That Just Need To Be Filed. A plain blue folder into which everything that needed filing was crammed, so at least it wasn’t sitting on the buffet in the dining room. I could do that one-armed, so it worked for a bit. Until the Things That Just Need To Be Filed folder started rivaling the ARBB in sheer bulk. Sigh. Time to do something about it.
