what, my husband posted today and i didn't? i can't have that. :)

we are having a few friends over tonight for some games and possibly a movie. we have plenty of movies to watch, so that should be fun. maybe it can be a LOTR extended edition party!! jk, b/c like we have time for that. besides, we're not starting until 7:30, since i work all day.

yesterday interpreting class seemed to drag...it's just that by that point, i am so ready to go to bed. and yet i still don't seem to get to bed before 11:30 or later.

so the freelance thing didn't turn out. i guess the company found someone who willing to do not only the translation, but also the training session (on the drug-free company policy) itself for the spanish employees, and all for so cheap it's freaking ridiculous. apparently this person is a certified translator and screws over everyone else in the profession by taking jobs for 1/10 of the normal price. nice. at the same time, i was a little relieved that it didn't go through b/c i have so much to do anyway, and that would have made for a really stressful weekend. but i do want experience to put on my resume....it's just, where is the time??

i sent off the check to the woman who contacted me about selling her dictionaries/books. she said she'll mail it over the weekend. i'm pretty excited about it, b/c it's a law/business dictionary that is very highly recommended by a lot of people and just happens to be out of print. so i am snatching up that baby jonas. i called the lady, who has a rampant pittsburgh accent, which i thought was pretty cool. i just wanted to say rampant. thank you.

so it's gotten freaking COLD over the last couple of days!! i think i'm actually going to put on a sweater when i go home for lunch. fall is upon us!! can't we have a little more of an indian summer, please??

the interpreter comes out on dvd on the 4th...i've pretty much been waiting for 6 months to see it. it probably won't live up to my expectations, but that's ok. i want to see it anyway.
