Last night’s staff meeting ended up only being an hour and a half long.  It went really well, the three new staff members are young, but I think with a little time they’ll fit into the staff really well.  We all get along really well, and that’s so nice.  The “big deal coming up” doesn’t sound like its going to be that bad. Just a lot of id checking and signing EVERYTHING.

The girls last night kept oohing and aahing over how great my apartment is.  And I’ll have to admit, I love it.  I am more than happy to have people over here all the time too.  At one point Megan told me I was “quite the hostess” which is just something that’s been trained into me.  I can throw a party without stressing until my head pops.  Which is nice.

The keelboat nickels that I ordered from the U.S. Mint shipped yesterday, so that’s exciting for me.  Unfortunately I now have to spend 3 months not telling my dad that I bought them for him.  That may be tough.  I’m bad at keeping surprises because I just want to tell people and make them happy.  

Derek’s mom wants us to go up to Salem sometime over Labor Day weekend, except I work all weekend.  So I’m torn now, between being horribley exhausted, or not seeing some people that I do really really like.  We’re hoping we can make a compromise.

I get to see GARDEN STATE finally!!! I’m so excited, Derek’s taking me on a date to see it on Saturday at the Bijou here in Eugene.  I’m very very excited.
