Oh first of all good news....

I am as normal and healthy as one can be with 20+ cysts in her boob. Finally had a doctor tell me I was ok in a brief message the other day. I don't know how one does self breast examinations with that many cysts but at least this week I am ok. (I won't get into what allergies are doing to me ok?) It is still yellow/purplish - 4 weeks later? that is nuts. But almost gone...

Had a stressful week at work. There is always someone who doesn't want things to go well so they cause a ruckus and get everyone else all upset. I basically got called into the principles office 3 days ago because nothing was finished yet. I still don't know why - our first dress isn't officially until Tuesday and guess what - I have everything today.... I hate theatre.

Finished my homework last night. It isn't very exciting this week but I'm on a deadline. I don't even get to go to class today because of our costume parade.

Assignment 6 Box

The girls are bored - I have been at work too much this week. I feel horrible. One more week and I am unemployed again. THANK GOD...

I am so funny

Have to share a little story from my class... My teacher sent us this email yesterday about how to place a UPC code in our project. He went on and on about it in class, I was surprised he was still going on about it in the email until I read the last paragraph.....

remember this about UPC's:

Don't mess with it. Don't colour it, scale it, cut it off or otherwise mangle in any way. Don't even look at it with bad intentions. The UPC must sit on a WHITE background; also give it at least a 1/8" white margin all around. Always handle your UPCs in this manner - this ensures that your UPC will read properly by the fancy Optical Readers that all retail stores employ.

Don't follow these UPC rules and one day you'll find yourself pasting replacement labels on 500,000 boxes in your mother-in-law's basement; a privilege for which you promised your undying servitude and which will become the embarassing story of choice at every and all family gatherings. Not that that's happened to me...



This little game is BIG trouble. HUGE I tell you. Especially for someone who has so much to do she doesn't know where to start......

Is it wrong when I post 3 times a day???

I need Stephs' help again - you know how it works. If I have homework - YOU have homework. heh heh.
This week - design a box - the size of a jello box. I decided it is Minou's turn and took a picture of some leftover cookies from 3 dog bakery. But now I need a little tag line - you know like M&M's have "melt in your mouth not in your hand"
So here is what we have so far...
Minou's cookies
I have two assignments this week so in the meantime I will start the next one.
I was bad yesterday.
Angie and I went to Seattle - I had some returns to do at J.Crew for my show.
In the mall downtown there is a Tiffany's right beside J.Crew. Heh heh. Do you know where this is going?

Now don't get me wrong there is a Tiffany's or two in Vancouver and I have gone inside. But I have never stayed to long for fear that the security guards could scan my bank accounts and credit cards though my purse and have me promptly escorted from the building when they realize I am never going to be able to make a purchase in their store.

This time Angie and I talked to the salepeople.

OOPS.

Once again let me reiterate a previous post.
I AM NOT ENGAGED. THERE IS NO DATE FOR A WEDDING. Aside from my own blabbling - THERE HAS BEEN NO DISCUSSION ABOUT UPCOMING NUPTIALS WITH THE DICTATOR.

The saleslady showed us many pretty rings. We discussed the prices. Angie commented on a nice one and the next thing we knew we were holding a $20,000 ring in our hands. heh heh heh. Oops. It was pretty. We put it down as it was scary. Then Angie picked out another one. (She is the devil incarnate when it comes to shopping - have I ever mentioned that before? A terrible influence on my bank account.) This one was smaller and had a much nicer price tag. Only $9000.
It had the highest rating in color - a D, it was .75 carats, it was nearly flawless (can't quite remember the actual number on the scale) It sparkled real pretty. The lady said we had to try it on to see if it even suited our hands. Angie made me do it. It is all her fault. I put it on and it fit, then the lady got out a mirror and even made me hold my hand up to look at it from a distance. It was sparkly. I've noticed that tiffany diamonds are WAY more sparkly then other diamonds? Anyone else noticed this phenomenon??? Sigh. Anyways it was nice.




So yah. We brought home a little book for the dictator and I left it on his pillow last night. Real subtle eh?

Here is Birdie's brochure for her ever expanding empire. I hope she realizes how much work it is to run a business. It isn't all naps and petting all the time.....

I am busy with work and school. Feeling a little stressed out these days. One more week until the show goes into the theatre and I still have so much to do.....

Allergies are kicking - time to get some meds. Ahhhh spring is in the air!!!!!!!!!!!!!
