Don't You Know?!

Do you ever wonder what’s happened to the companies in this country? I mean, it seems like everything here is hunger for greed and how to get the most for little effort. Take the CEOs from the auto industries the other day. They all flew in separate private jets to ask the government for money. Hmmmm…something about that doesn’t sound right. Maybe if they would have “jetpooled”, they could have sat down and actually compared figures to give Congress some definite figures on exactly how much money they really need. I couldn’t believe that. How can you go all that way, waste money to ask for money and not know how much money you’re asking for?! That was ridiculous. I would think that Dennis Carey the CEO recruiter guy would have his hands full trying to replace all of these dumb CEOs…but NOOOO. They stay there, get great bail out packages and walk away the rich people that they are while we sit here like losers waiting for the government to help bail US out. The people really don’t matter under this administration and never have. Thank God we’re turning a new leaf…how much worse could it get?!

Biker Boys

It's kind of funny, a ton of people I know are now buying and riding motorcycles. These are people that I never would have thought would buy let alone get on a bike. Of course most of them are riding Harleys...could you imagine a bunch of gang banger looking guys riding around on those?! LMAO! It's too funny. And of course, DH is trying to check out a cool motorcycle rating site now. I'm like, I don't think so. We just recently heard that an old friend crashed and is now paralysed. I love my DH but no, he is not ever getting a bike. Ever. My dad had wanted one when he and my mom were married and she wouldn't let him get one either. I don't blame her because before that, my uncle had one and crashed into a car and went flying about a block away. That's SO scary! At least he walked away from it...thank God.

Safe and Secure

Some years ago our house was broken into and I think it had to be one of the scariest things I have been through. My friend and I had taken a walk with Yes-Yes (when he was a little guy) downtown to rent a movie and get some Starbucks when it happened. That was the scary part. It appeared that someone was watching us and waiting for us to leave. When we returned, we found the side door that we normally used open and it scared us to pieces. I can’t remember exactly what happened after that since it is all kind of blurry but I do remember the violation I felt. The weirdest part was that out of everything in the house that could have been taken, they only took things from my parent’s room. My step-dad’s mom had recently passed away and they had tons of jewelry in there which got ripped off. My parents couldn’t have made it easier for them either…it was all in a backpack so it was nice and portable.

That was when we lived at my grandmother’s house. It was big and old and on a dark street. I always told her that we should get some kind of home security system up. Every now and then people would walk around our house and didn’t know why. That was weird. I would have opted for a video surveillance system with a motion camera in the back. That would have really come in handy when the break in happened. I think our cats were the only witnesses and a lot of good that did. LOL ADT is huge in our area and I have heard lots of good things about them. It would give me piece of mind that someone is watching over our house. We should be getting up something on this house as soon as we can afford it but for now it is okay since someone is always home.

What Do You Wanna Eat?


Don't you hate this question? It's always the one thing thrown at me around 4:30pm. I mean, come on! Why am I the only one who has to think of what to eat? Then what happens? I go around and ask everyone what they want and the answer is always the same thing...I don't know. ARGH! It's SO frustrating. Then, if I pick something without them, they will sit there once dinner is ready and say "oh". Well, excuse me...I didn't see any volunteers racing to make dinner or offering a better choice. It drives me nuts! Sometimes I'll just make myself a sandwich while I'm cooking and be done with it myself. LOL!

I Want One!


I totally know what I want for Christmas! A massage chair! LOL Yeah I know, we’re broke…but I could still dream can’t I? This site called Takemi Select has THE best selection of great chairs at really good prices. They specialize in health and wellness products so they really know what they’re talking about. I’ve heard wonderful things about their customer service too. Man, wouldn’t I LOVE to have this sitting in the corner rather than my glider…LMAO!

Getting a Job

I talked a bit earlier about DH getting laid off earlier this week. Well, he hit another snag yesterday and this seems to happen EVERY time he has to go out and find a new job. He needed to get a new tire, there was a leak in the one he had. Of course, we cannot afford a new tire, SO we had to pay to have the one he had to be patched...again. I know, I know. LOL! I have NO idea how many times this damn thing has been patched but this is the last time for sure. Hahaha I really couldn't believe that it was happening again. Anyway, now he has no excuse at all to not be able to go anywhere...unless, that is, if for some reason his back goes out on him or something. LMAO *knocks on wood*

Being Fat

Yes, I'm still going to complain about being fat and not being able to fit into my clothes. LOL! I can say something good this time though. There are tow things that have worked a while back and that was the Michael Thurman diet and alli. The bad thing is that the Michal Thurman diet made me starve. They say you won't be hungry...you will be. I couldn't stick with it because tasteless chicken wrapped in lettuce was not yummy at all. Nor was using Splenda. Blech. Alli works quite well but it's not cheap and there are foods that you can't eat but then it's a good thing because it's kind of like a reminder that you shouldn't be eating it anyway. LOL Everything has its ups and downs...it's just a matter of what downs are right for you. LMAO

Jealousy

Isn't jealousy a funny thing? I have my own problems with it...and I always thought they'd go away. For example...

I don't like this one girl that DH's friend has a kid with. Now, there is a reason...she is friends with these girls I used to work with. I never made my private life part of work but one of them did. As soon as she found out who I was with (she made it a point to lie to me to find out) she then tells me that her friend (the other girl who worked there) was going to get with my DH and he was calling her and stuff. Ummmm...EXCUSE ME?! Of course I almost slapped the crap out of DH when I told him about it. It was this HUGE thing and I never wanted to go to work again. I even had to talk to my manager about it. It was terrible. I thought by working so far away from home, I could avoid people that knew me or anything. I was SO wrong.

So, back to this girl. I don't like her. Yeah, I know...it may be petty but I can't help that. Once I have problems with people it's kind of like guilt by association. LOL Anyway, I HATE (with a passion) when DH goes anywhere with his friend and she goes along. I HATE it! (LMAO!!! He and his friend just walked in) Maybe another reason is because I don't go out with him and his friends anymore and some of their girlfriends do. It just feels kind of wrong, you know? Like he's go a seperate life or something. I don't remember feeling like this when we had mutual friends. I don't know...what do you think?

Pretty Pictures


Since I was talking about Paris, I decided to throw up this pretty picture. LOL It is of Notre Dame at night. Pretty cool looking huh? I would love to go there. The architecture is really beautiful. I thought we might want to see something other than the Eiffel Tower. LOL

I have a hard time finding blog pictures sometimes to post on here. You can probably tell…many blank boring posts. LOL! So I found this cool site called acobox.com. They are specifically for bloggers so we won’t get in trouble for stealing copyrights unknowingly and stuff. I’m SO happy to find them. I hate being worried that I’m doing something wrong. I’ve heard of people getting sued by big companies for posting their pictures without consent. Scary stuff! Anyway, acobox.com is super easy to sign up with like most others, and they have lots of great pictures to use on your blog. You can sign up as a blogger or a photographer and post your stuff. I think it is super neat to know that people love your work and would want to use it. How cool would it be to see your stuff all over the internet?! Very cool! Too bad I can’t take a picture for my life. LOL! My BFF did photography in school and has a ton of really nice ones…hey! I should ask her to let me use them. Now there’s an idea….lot more work than I want though. I don't have to resize or anything using this new site. YAY!

Ah Paris...I Wish!

OMG, I'm SO jealous! My aunt just emailed me and she and my cousins are going on a trip..to PARIS! UGH. I'd SO love to go there. They live in Germany and if they take this super fast train it will only be a four hour ride. I wanna go! Maybe not with them...but I wanna go! LOL! I really can't stand my aunt very much....it's a long story...but I'd love to go to Europe and see all kinds of things. I could spent months over there. Maybe even years! I just need to move. Yup, that's it, I need to move to Europe. Maybe England...then I won't have to learn a totally new language. I should call up my uncle and tell him I'm coming. LOL!
