quickly catching up: jail and a million bucks

1. I learned from Glamour magazine today that if a woman earns $50,000 and wants to continue living the kind of life she leads after she retires, she would have to have ONE MILLION DOLLARS saved up to do that. Holy crap.

2. I did indeed sew. I almost smashed the stupid little purple sewing machine, but I did sew. It's a skirt, and it isn't terrible. Not good, but I think I did well considering I've never sewed before. And it has a zipper and pockets and everything (pockets, well, because I love, love, love skirts that are fully equipt with pockets). Next project: a tote bag.

3. Last night I had a dream that I had to go to jail, and so I slapped an ex boyfriend and was worried about being bored while doing my time. I looked up "jail" in my dream dictionary and it said loads of bad luck was ahead... are we freaking kidding me?!

4. Today, whilst reading my magazine and pondering the vast amount of junk food I've been consuming lately, I thought about how I once dreamed of being a nutritionist. And I thought, hey, maybe I should do that for a living! My logical side did kick in and said they don't make much money and it would probably be hard for me to find a job, especially not in a big city... but I still kinda like the idea. I even printed off the certificate requirements for the school I'm currently attending. Maybe this is a fleeting interest, maybe not. We'll just have to wait and see...

5. Tomorrow I have a Second interview with a local electronics retailer (that I hear pays pretty well!). So wish me luck. I really am praying that I get a job here pretty soon because being broke is just not a good look on me. I tend to cry a lot and the Boyfriend doesn't like that so much. So yeah. Wish me luck, dudes and dudettes!
