Good news and bad news. The good news is that my raise has been finalized and will begin appearing on my next paycheck! The bad news is that I was broken up with. I won’t go into too many details here – you can e-mail me if you want to know the story. All I’ll say is that, despite a month of what I thought were very good dates, I was told that it wasn’t the best match. Grr... Ladies, I’m available again!

Oh, I was a little premature in declaring my 3rd place victory in Fantasy Baseball. When the final statistics came out, I actually finished in 4th place – just a mere half point out of third. And I also missed out on the Most Improved prize by a few points as well. This at least won me the "Fantasy Bridesmaid" award. Seems to be a running theme though!

My new leather jacket came yesterday. It’s my first genuine leather jacket and it looks great!
