Gosh, these last two months have been crazy busy! Not only is it tax season, I'm covering a desk for Adriana (on maternity leave for 3 months), I have taken a CPA exam and have 2 more scheduled before May 31 and I'm trying to lose weight because I'll be in Hawaii in 10 days!!

Eva asked me to be a bridesmaid in her wedding (in Hawaii) - when I told Jenny this, she told me, "Stop talking to people!!" because this will be wedding #2 for me, #3 is coming up in July (Jennifer's wedding). There is a superstition that if you are in more than 3 weddings, then the "always a bridesmaid, never a bride" thing kicks in. Actually, I think I'm over the 3 because I was in my brother's wedding and sorta in my sister's wedding but I was trying to reason it to Marilu by saying international weddings shouldn't count because it's not the traditional wedding that we're used to here in the US.

I can't wait for this trip, even though the weather reports show rain, rain and MORE rain. It had been raining every day since February 17th but the rain stopped recently for a couple days - I thought that was it for the rain, but the weather reports show rain nonstop again starting Weds. I think we came to the conclusion that it rains for an hour or so and then its sunny the rest of the day... Hopefully that's the case! Maria and I are already planning our trip for next year though - Europe... and I'm trying to convince Eva and her husband-to-be to come with us.

I know I should be saving money right now because Hawaii is expensive, but because of all this OT I've been working during tax season, I already have the trip paid for, I bought a 26" LCD TV, and I just bought a laptop. No more spending for me until our raises in July!! I did get some employee of the month thing at work, so that's an extra $100 in my pocket.

I'm watching Apprentice in the living room right now because I am TiVoing 24 in my room... I was going to skip this season of Apprentice but my office-mate kept telling me to watch it so many times, I'm hooked now. He ke[t telling me about this dude Brent... such a character, so glad he was fired weeks ago. Why can't this team ever win?? It's so sad. I like Tarek and I don't want him kicked off... It's like Survivor - I love Terry but that damn La Mina kept losing all the challenges. I got my office-mate hooked on Amazing Race so we're even. At least my favorite team is doing well on Amazing Race (the frat boys).

This is a little late, but I am sooooo proud of UCLA for going as far as they did... I would have appreciated a win even more, but I didn't even expect them to get to the Final Four so I'm just looking at it on the bright side. I know I picked them to win the championship in my brackets but I do that every year, even when they were a 10 seed... I won our office pool though - my final margin was 20 points over the 2nd place person because I picked a lot of underdogs (total luck!) who made it pretty far. I would have easily given up the office pool win to have UCLA win the championship, but everything can't go my way. I love Jordan Farmar though... if I were a student at UCLA during this era, Jordan would totally be my Ray Young. :)
