Wow, I feel almost like a grownup
Apr. 14th, 2010 12:48 pmI just executed a "same day sale" on my stock options. I started during the tech boom in 2000, so my options are just now above water (thank you stock split). It won't be a huge amount, but it should cover fun & games this summer. (Wedding, ComicCon, etc.) Heck, I'm even contributing to my 401(k). Now if I could just get the credit cards paid off I'd be happy.
In other news, we have moved on from prong to surface settings. I am very grateful for this. I'm OK at prong settings, but I will never be an expert. I signed up for a summer jewelry class that will be chasing and enameling, in 5 hour chunks 2 days a week. (I would have signed up for Casting on the weekends, but being out of town twice during the session means I'd be missing 20 hours! Looks like the spring for Casting and this fall for Precious Metals.)
I still haven't taken the Metal Etching class over at CreativeSide since they keep postponing/ moving it. RIght now we're set for April 24th. I sure hope it happens. So does my jewelry professor; he wants me to share the wealth once I'm done.
