Holy eff, you guys. For the first time in, like, four years, I can actually pay off my entire credit card balance. This is so sad, I know, but it's seriously the highlight of my month! (Next to Julia learning how to say "hi" and waving, duh)

I'd like to say that my debt-free status is a result of increased income (no way), or careful financial planning (as if), but for reals-I just stopped ordering something from Anthropologie every month. You'd think I'd have been able to break the habit long ago but you'd be wrong. It's such a love-hate relationship. Love the clothes, hate the prices. Damn you Anthropologie!! WHY MUST YOU MAKE IT HURT SO GOOD??!!?

By the way, you know how they found the truck of the marine wanted for killing another marine? Well, it was found in a hotel parking lot. A hotel parking lot across from my office. So, if you're keeping score at home, that makes one snake and one murderer (allegedly) either in or around my office. I'm just gonna call that 0 for 2.

I take the GMAT in 9 days. Please send all your smart brain cells my way via the interweb. I promise to return them the evening of Feb. 2nd. You can keep the ones that have been watching VH1 reality shows--I've got tons of those already.

P.S.-um, can you fools start identifying yourselves in the comments if you aren't already? Hard to imagine that anyone else besides my mom and sister read this, I know, but there you have it.
