Great Day

I feel almost bad blogging about having such an awesome day since it started with me dropping off Corey at the bus to go home for a few days. He is going back to WI to speak to the comp studio at our undergrad at the invitation of his former professor. It's awesome for him, but I'm going to miss him and I'm frankly jealous that he gets to up and leave when I have to stay here and work. But after I kissed him goodbye at the bus stop, the day went up from there.

1. I finally found us a new apartment, and it's exactly what I wanted. We have been lusting after this property that gives an amazing discount for U of M students. I don't want to dish too many details, but it's an amazing price for the amount of space and an Ann Arbor zip code. If we stay here for another 3 years, this will be our home. :)

2. I decided to celebrate by treating myself to a trip to Ulta Beauty. My recent forte into beauty blogging (you can find my guest spots at trubeautygems.blogspot.com) has turned me into a bit of a makeup monster. I snagged a gift set of $112 worth of Too Faced makeup for $45 that wasn't even supposed to be on the shelves until tomorrow. I may do a beauty post in the near future with details, either here or at TBG.

3. I was invited at the last minute to dine at the home of a couple Corey and I have been getting to know since we moved here. I had delicious homemade lasagna and played Balderdash tonight when I was planning to make a Lean Cuisine and watch a chick flick alone. Quel bon suprise!

A few side bits of awesome: I met my weight-loss goal for the week, only 6 lbs left to go! And I shipped a super-secret surprise for someone I love dearly. Can't divulge the details yet, they may be reading!

So I'm doing my best to put positive energy back out into the universe. I don't know what I did to deserve such good karma, but I'm going to try to earn it!
