I do remember that, Rachel. America made many a joke about Mr. Cheney after that. Dr. Cheney? I wonder if he has a doctorate, like Dr. Geller. I shall google it. Fascinating. He flunked out of Yale, then went on to another school and got his masters, and started his doctorate but did not finish it. I also learned that he is a distant cousin of Barack Obama. Never in my wildest dreams did I think the quest to discover the answer to my own random question would be so fascinating.

I've eaten a lot in the past two days. And spent quite a bit of money, mainly on myself. But I cannot turn down a good deal. I did not have that money to spend. I will have to eat less for the next few weeks. And then for the next nine months, as I am with child. No I'm not, but I couldn't pass up the whole "nine months" thing (I have this job for nine more months). No, I realized that I haven't saved a single penny since I started working. The downfall of earning a poverty-level salary, I suppose, but I seemed to hold onto some disillusionment when I started this job that I would be different. I could live on very little money. Turns out life costs more than I thought.

How was your Thanksgiving? I hope it was well. Mine was good, though The Nana was not present. She went to my uncle's house in Terre Haute. I was sad she was not here. My best friends from high school got engaged... that was a nice surprise. I think I will maybe give her one of my wedding plans. Yes? I knew I should have been a wedding planner.

I pretended to be the Godfather today with Ginger, after she blatantly defied my orders. I think I scared her. I was pretty convincing. She is very smart. She watches cartoons, and the other day I swear I caught her contemplating a piece of artwork on the walls. Not just smart, but cultured.

I'm going to Evan's house now to mingle with the newly engaged couple. I saw the ring this morning. It's a looker. I am proud of his taste.... I taught him well. Jk, I can't take the credit. The Corbs will be there. And June, the world's clumsiest but most adorbs dog. Should be a good night.... until I fall asleep, as I woke up at 5am.

Good riddance,

Becca
