Hi, reader. I wrote this in 2001 and it's now more than five years old. So it may be very out of date; the world, and I, have changed a lot since I wrote it! I'm keeping this up for historical archive purposes, but the me of today may 100% disagree with what I said then. I rarely edit posts after publishing them, but if I do, I usually leave a note in italics to mark the edit and the reason. If this post is particularly offensive or breaches someone's privacy, please contact me.

Mary Kay, entrepreneur encourager and cosmetics queen, has died. I imagine Frances already knows that.

When I break the Buy Nothing Day tradition, I do it big. My purchases today included business garb (for interviews and for actual workplaces), boots, Martinelli's cider, chocolate, and a yam. Much savings was had on all.

My parents support a teaching career wholeheartedly. They have both taught and consider it an honorable profession. Now I just have to decide if I want to pursue such a career, and, if so, how.

I will probably get to see Angel today! I'm really glad.
