The Best Day

Today was the best day I’ve had since coming to New York. Maybe the best day EVER.

And let me tell you why.

First, I finished the last book of the Twilight series at lunch. And although I felt the normal sweet depression I experience at the end of any book—I’m glad that chapter of my life is behind me. As much as I enjoyed the books, I’m ready for my life back. I’m ready to get back in the game of reality. Life---I’m baaaaaack!

Second, I’ve been doing really well at work for the past two weeks. I had this project that I had to work on last week—I wrote a few paragraphs describing the “TV Guide reader.” The trick was the generalize everyone who reads TV Guide into one fictional person who personified them all. And today I found out I nailed it! They LOVED it and are going to use most of my ideas. Which is nice considering I’ve been feeling like an idiot half the time here because I know absolutely nothing about marketing. But I’m starting to feel like I like this stuff. The creative challenge is right up my alley.

Third—I’ve been babysitting a cat for Alisa—and most of the time it’s really cute. But sometimes I look into it’s eyes and see…the devil. So piece of good news number three--Alisa is coming to get the possessed cat when I get home from work! I’m really glad I could help her—but that cat was crazy.

Fourth—and the real reason this is the best day EVER—I found out today…I’m GOING TO THE EMMY’S!!!! AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!! And I found a Roberto Cavalli dress I LOVE I want to wear (check it out: http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/35391). Sadly, it’s really expensive…

I’m in such a good mood I could sing. But don’t worry—my co-workers will be spared that…experience. I’m just going to keep writing my novel until 5:30 and get the heck out of here. Maybe I’ll go shopping!

Or maybe singing’s not such a bad idea…
