There’s a song called “I don’t have to be me til Monday” and I just love it. I can do anything, be whatever I want from Friday afternoon until Monday morning. My only problem is, every other Monday I have to be me earlier than normal. I have to be into the office by 6am instead of 8am today because of payroll. Blech. Makes my weekend seem shorter than it already is!
I had a great weekend and am hoping that attitude/feeling seeps into my work week starting in an hour and 10 minutes. I’m currently showered and dressed and just need to do my hair and make up.
I saw a website for promotional pens and I think Chippendales needs these. Seriously. Why not? Hot, almost naked men on my pen would make me want to write all the time! I don’t know about the other ladies out there, but I’d love to have one!
Until next time…

I woke up this morning, quite early and realized two things immediately. First, I was NOT hung over and second, I didn’t sleep all that well. I’m surprised I am not hung over because I had a beer, a Smirnoff pomegranate thing and three shots of tequila. It was a wonderful evening full of mostly naked men at the Chippendales show. The link there will take you to my Flickr page with all the yummy nakedness.
I made a commitment to myself to go to church this morning, so I’m not all that upset I’m awake this early. I would have liked to sleep until my alarm went off at 10am, however I was waking up every hour on the hour starting at 6am and finally dragged my ass out of bed at 9am.
I was thinking about the home insurance we used to have on the house in Vegas. I think because I got a letter from them a few months ago and I just found it when I was going through all my stuff packing and de-cluttering.
I need to go get ready for church now. TTFN
Until next time…

I had been planning on applying for the apartment I want. However, after my doctor’s visit this past week and the prescriptions I needed to get, I no longer have the security deposit money or the application fee. While insurance is awesome to have, it can still be expensive for medications. One of the medications I have to take daily is a formulary that is $40.00 (with insurance) and there is no generic for it. This $40 is a savings from $193 previously when it as NOT covered by insurance.
I’m hoping the apartment I want is still available when I get paid on Friday. I’ll be hightailing it down to the complex after work that day. My current apartment manager said I could go month to month without any monthly fees until I get into wherever I move too. I’ve been trying to focus on the positive in this whole situation and most of the time, I do pretty well at it.
Today, I’m focusing on the negative quite a bit and I’m trying to force myself to stop. I’d love to spill it all here, vent all my frustrations and fears and what not. Maybe some other time. I’m in one of my moods where I want to share, but don’t feel the need to share.
I don’t have much more to say really unless I get into all the emotions going on inside of me and I just don’t feel like dealing with them right now.
During all of this stress I’ve put myself into, I’ve developed a small problem with acne and it’s irritating me!
Until next time…

I’m feeling kind of funky right now. Emotionally and physically. I’m taking meds for the physical stuff I have going on (sinus infection) and emotionally, I’m just hanging on by the threads of my sanity.
My financial situation is getting worse, it’s not something I want to get into detail about right now. I’m still looking for a second, part time job that will help me in that area. I don’t understand what the problem is. I have applied at so many places and have only had one interview. Rejections letters or just never hearing from them. I’ll keep trying though.
The apartment I want is put on hold right now. I don’t have the $200 for the security deposit, so I can’t apply for it yet. I don’t get paid again until the 10th, so I’m hoping no one else applies for those two apartments that are currently available there.
I’ve been thinking about trying an audio book, but I’ve never “listened” to a book before. Any suggestions?
Until next time…

It’s officially the Fall season AND it’s feeling like fall around here in the Ville. The temps are not going over 70 for the week and the lows at night are hitting the 40’s. YAY! I love sweatshirt weather!
I saw a commercial for Wayfarer sunglasses. I don’t think I’ve seen those for years. It was like taking a walk down memory lane!
Josie is driving me crazy right now. I don’t know why, I can’t find anything wrong with her, but she is constantly whimpering. This dog will drive me to drink, I swear!
Until next time….

I’ve just about finished all my laundry for the day. It’s only taken me all day long. Sheeesh. I love having the washer and dryer in my apartment, but I need to say the stackables are slow going for getting shit done!
I’ve been looking at a website with holiday appetizers on it. While I absolutely love the holiday season, this is one season I’m not looking forward to this year. At this moment, if I don’t get a 2nd job in the evenings, I WILL get to go to Georgia for Thanksgiving. This is a very good thing. I’m going to be so upset and sad if I don’t get to go down there for at least one of the holidays.
Christmas is out of the question. I don’t have any vacation time to speak of and since Christmas is in the middle of the week, I’ll be working every day that week except Christmas day. It’s a good thing I’ll have Christmas day off, but it’s bad cause I’ll be here alone. Not looking forward to that.
I’m watching CSI on Spike right now. I just love watching the reruns. The new season opener is coming up on October 9. I’m not looking forward to it. I’m going to cry like a baby in that episode. They deal with Warrick’s shooting and it looks horribly heartbreaking on the trailers.
Off to go fold my towels that just finished drying.
Until next time…

As most of you know, last Sunday we had hurricane sustained winds move through this area. It took out the power for 300,000+ people in this area alone and about 311,000 in the state of Kentucky total.
I went outside several times during the wind storm and got this shot when the trees were starting to bow from the wind.
This is what the street looked like during the storm.

I found a website with information about unlocked cell phones today. I really don’t know why I found that interesting, but I did.
I’ve had a fairly uneventful weekend, doing a lot of nothing. I’m feeling like I’m getting sick again (congestion, sneezing, feeling like I got hit by a truck, etc) and I’m still having the Big D problem that has been happening off and on for the last 2 weeks. Not good. I’m making sure I’m drinking lots of water, so I don’t get dehydrated. I’m calling the doctor tomorrow. Seriously.
I’m debating on going to church or not. I’ve missed the last two weeks due to either illness or not waking up in time and I don’t know if I want to miss a third week in a row. *le sigh* Decisions, decisions, ya know? I do have to say though, I’ve watched the sermons online at the church’s website, so I’ve still gotten the message.
I have a lot of packing to do. My de-clutter project was interrupted since I’m not feeling well, but I’ve still been trying to go through stuff slowly. I threw out a bunch of anime VHS tapes yesterday. I don’t even have a VCR anymore. Or if I do, I have NO idea where it’s at.
Until next time…

Someone sent me a link for Vegas hotels. Like I’d ever need that when I go to Vegas.
I came home to a strange smell in my apartment. I can’t quite put my finger on what it is. It’s coming from the furnace area, I turned it off. I went to the office and they will be looking at it tomorrow.
I had a stressful day at work, which I won’t talk about here in my effort to not talk about work on this blog anymore. I’m really trying to refocus and post more pictures here, instead of trying to keep up two blogs like this.
It’s a lot easier said than done, trust me on that. There are still about 100k people without power here in the Ville. They’ve had to throw out hundreds of dollars worth of food. I’m so glad I did not have to do that. I feel grateful for that.
I’m super sleepy and I know it’s because I woke up with some sinus crap, along with my sinus migraine last night lasting a few hours.
I’ve made my decision on who I’m going to vote for during the Presidential election. No more “on the fence” for me. While I won’t discuss politics all that often (only because I know I’m not all that educated on the subject), I will only tell you who I’m voting for after I’ve voted.
Until next time…
