Roommate is asleep, so quick update, but I hope to flesh out some of the other sparse ones in the next few days.  I bought the cutest dress tonight at Trend-D, and it was 50% off to start and then 20% cast discount on top of that.  Score!  However, didn't take a picture yet, so here's the more exciting news for today - I got my ears (figuratively, not literally) I got to take off my little red ribbon and I'm a real cast member.  I have my first shift on Friday where I'll work just like any of the other captains/deckhands.  Yay!
