Woow lots going on. Should I write the events backwards? I'll start with today. I went shopping with D yesterday on one of our late-night-Meijer runs for some random snacks and presents for the cousins. I bought two electronic Sudoku games, three 20 Q games, a stuffed animal for the baby, barbie clothes, two shirts, and some cute towels. I'm glad I thought of the 20 Q because Hans loved it and it makes him have to learn English. I think I'll be back to buy another 20 Q for myself.
I guess last night, my mom looked at Hans' itinerary and was like, "omg he's not leaving Saturday, he's leaving tomorrow!" So the rest of my plans of taking the day off to spend time with him ice skating, shopping, and arcade-ing went down the drain. Today we helped him pack and off he was off to the airport. I love my cousin but I gotta say, with all the chaos around here, it's a good time for him to return home. Oh how I miss Taiwan when I think about it.
Back tracking a little bit to Wednesday, I got a raise! Yayyy! I guess Jeremy (the president of Ricardo) was talking to Claude about Veronica and me, and after seeing some of the work I had done for Chris, suggested in giving me a raise. I was telling Dusan the other day that I think of Claude as a mentor/boss to be one of those people who will know when to tell me what to do in order for me to grow as an employee in the business world. Wasn't I right? I feel like I have added so much value to myself and my work life over the last few months because of Claude. And his laugh is so funny! I think this is one of the best environments I can surround myself in during this place and time.
On Tuesday, I found out that Gary finally proposed to Catherine. Her ring is goregous - I have to guess it's more than 2 carats altogether. It's the kind of ring that blinds you when you look at it because it is loaded with diamonds. It's like this below. Not that I look for rings online or anything.
A new word I like: penultimate. Meaning next to last.I guess I have a free night tonight! What am I going to do? :) Tomorrow is the reunion with the old gang and I am excited!
