Recently, we got an elliptical at the firehouse I work over. I’ve been told I can use it as long as the firefighters are not. Ummm yeah, that’s usually how it goes. I’m certainly not going to ask them to get off the thing so I can use it! LOL
I’ve been looking for some of the best fat burners out there and I’ve decided just good old cardio exercise will the best thing for me right now.
I’m really looking forward to building myself back up to an hour on the elliptical. I forgot my workout clothes everyday this past week, but I’m going to take in a small bag of stuff and leave it at the office. I can bring it home to wash it every few days, ya know? This way I can’t forget it!
Until next time…

I’ve had quite the week from hell, if I do say so myself. It’s been insane at work, here at home and everywhere in between.
We’ve had the cops here at the complex twice in as many days, I’ve had a crackhead try to get into my apartment both at the patio and the front.
I had a “flood” in my bedroom and had to take apart my huge cherry wood furniture and move it around. Once they fixed the problem I had to move it all back and put it back together.
I’ve cleaned, washed and vacuumed the bathroom, kitchen and my bedroom. I’ve done my three weeks worth of laundry as I’ve slowly recovered from ConFab!
I found a link for a rv that looks interesting. I’d love to be able to RV around the country one of these days.
Until next time…

Sunday’s have turned into my least favorite days of the week. Every other Sunday I get cranky cause the next day is payroll Monday and the other Sunday I just don’t like it cause that means my weekend is over.
I somehow ended up looking at a website for a portable credit card machine. I guess if I was more involved in my Avon business, I could probably use one of those for any credit card orders.
However, with the sucky way I do sales, I’m not all that active with Avon and I skip a few campaigns here and there.
I’m watching the Red Wings game and then will be going to sleep very, very soon!
Until next time…

I got a new cell phone this past week. I wanted a smaller, more compact phone and so I ordered the Samsung M320. It’s quite fancy and definitely smaller than the LG Rumor I had. It’s a flip phone, so I won’t “butt” call anyone when I carry it in my back pocket or front pocket. Awesome! It’s a deep, rich red color and I love it. I’ve also skewed around with the plan I have and will be saving about 10 bucks a month. So an extra 120 a year is not too bad in the savings department!
I’ve been considering getting a compact flash memory card. I don’t know anything about them, so I am looking for some reviews of it or knowledge someone might have on what kind I could get.
My weekend has been good, besides breaking the blinds in my bedroom. OOOPS! I now have a blanket covering the window because maintenance does not consider it an emergency and the office is closed. Oh well. They’ll fix it this week I’m sure!
Until next time…

So far my long weekend has been quite relaxing and nothing major happening. I’m going to a baseball game tonight for the local AAA team, the Louisville Bats. I’m looking forward to it. I love baseball!!!
The son of a friend in Vegas just turned one year old yesterday and I was wondering how she invited people. I wonder if she used a 1st birthday invitation or if she used something else. I may have to ask her about that.
The rest of my weekend will be relaxing as well, as I’ve decided that’s all I want to do this weekend. I do need to do laundry at some point in the next two days. Since I have to be somewhere at 5:30 tonight, I’ll probably just do it tomorrow when I know I have nowhere to be, ya know?
Until next time…

I’ve been thinking a lot about the security of where I live. I live on the first floor, so I make sure all my windows are locked when I’m not home. I also make sure to close and lock the sliding glass door.
I’ve been looking at home alarm systems. Unfortunately, installing one of those is not an option for my apartment here. While I can decorate or paint anyway I’d like, they frown on the security alarm thing, in case they have to come in for maintenance.
I guess I’ll just dream of an alarm system while I continue making sure my doors and windows remain locked when closed.
Until next time…

My brain is fried!!!! It just feels like a bunch of mush sloshing around inside my head right now. I’ve been working on a buttload amount of spreadsheets for something that is coming up in the new fiscal year. It’s tedious and time consuming and a pain in my butt.
I was looking at a few light fixtures on this. I really want to get my apartment painted. We are allowed to pain/decorate it anyway we want, which I really like. Not many apartments let you do that, ya know?
I’m going to be researching colors and color schemes to finally decide what I want and then work on getting the money to do it. A friend at work does painting as a side business, and he’s already said he will give me a discount to paint. YAY! I love me some discounts!
Until next time…

I was going to enjoy some of the festivities this week, but my cold and sinus infection had other plans. I got a Pegasus pin specifically so I could go down to the waterfront and see Keith Sweat in concert on Tuesday night, but I was too sick!
I missed all the fun stuff during the week because this stupid infection would not leave!!!! I’m starting to feel a little better now, but I am so tired of being sick, it’s pathetic!
Did you know some people use a colon cleanser on regular basis? I can see why some would use it once in awhile, but to use it regularly just seems all kinds of wrong to me. Makes me wince just thinking about using it once!
I’m so glad it’s the weekend! I’m home, relaxing and watching a repeat of CSI: NY. I love this show, thanks to the guy who plays Danny Messar. Yumm-oh!
Until next time…

WOW! Where has this year gone? It seems like it was just yesterday we were in the middle of the ice storm in January!!! And now here it is May and Derby Weekend in here in Possibility City.
My co-worker is considering getting an appetite suppressant from her doctor. I don’t really think she needs to lose weight, but she does. Those things scare the you know what outta me!
I broke it off with Neighbor Guy about a week ago and he’s been pretty good about it. Although he showed a little bit of stalker behavior a few days ago, by asking me why I was home so early on Wednesday. Uhhhh dude, don’t pay attention to when I’m home and when I’m not home! That’s creepy!
I need to do some laundry this weekend, although it’s not as much as I had last weekend, thank goodness!
Until next time…

Every now and then, I wish I had a pool so I could window shop and purchase some pool toys, ya know?
Today is Saturday. I’m very GLAD it is Saturday because I did not sleep all that well last night. So I will be able to nap off and on all day long if I need too.
I’m getting nervous about my financial situation. I have $7 in checking to last me until Friday. I don’t have money to do laundry, get gas or get cigarettes. The last part is not real heartbreaking though.
When my car broke down a month or two ago, I ended up spending $250 on a rental car and then paying my friend back the $260 he lent me to get my car out of the shop. It’s annoying. I hate being this broke all the time.
I’m hoping the overtime I’m getting at work now will start to help out a bit. Also, my car company is extending two more payments for me, so my next car payment is not due until June. That will be nice! I’m hoping I can get caught up and get into a budget and stick with it!
Until next time…
