Tomorrow is the end of 2009. What am I going to be doing? Celebrating with a glass of white grape juice mixed with mountain dew. Strange? Yes, but it’s really good. It’s like sparkling grape with a kick.
This has been a good year in a lot of ways. I’m happy with [...]

Hope everyone had a lovely holiday. Mine was good. We opened gifts this morning and everyone was quite pleased. We didn’t do a lot, a couple gifts each. Half we didn’t bother wrapping, but we managed to have at least one each under the tree this morning the other didn’t know [...]

We put our tree up today. It’s a 7 foot, artificial, pine. Beautiful tree. But it’s too big for our living room. Not only is it too tall. 7′ 6″ with the base and giant diameter. So, this year, we only put up the top two sections to make [...]

I’m so freaking broke right now it’s not even funny. We had to shell out every penny of our paycheck today to fix brakes on the car. Bonus? We need more work! *sob* I can’t even afford a simple thing like one of the plasma mounts that I was looking at for the [...]

I wrote a while ago about being independently wealthy and what I’d like to do. I’ve been thinking about it on and off for some reason. I don’t know why, but I keep coming back to the same Plano dentist and contemplating doing something with my teeth. I’m still too broke, [...]

Do you know how impossible it is to find feather pillows? Seriously? I want new pillows, but I’m not shelling out $15+ dollars just for feather pillows, even though I’m picky and don’t like the polyfil pillows. Hubby found me a couple on amazon that are good price. Unfortunately, I overspent on [...]

Today was a lovely day. Went to a pot luck dinner, enjoyed some really good food and good music, tried new things, got to know some new people. I typically don’t like parties, or people, and I definitely hate being the ‘young’ one in a group. I was, yet again, the youngest [...]

I love Christmas. I just hate the whole process of shopping for gifts. Especially when I have to shop for my own gift. I’m not kidding, folks, I shop for my own gifts. Who needs an appetite suppressant when you’re stressing yourself sick over shopping for the rest of the holiday? [...]

Tis the season for a LOT of drama, it seems. It seems like no matter where you go or what you do, there’s a ton of drama everywhere. Heck, people bicker over the simplest of things. For instance, can you imagine getting into a fight with someone over where to store your [...]

Okay, we live in the middle of nowhere, so we don’t get cable. I’m kind of sad about that, but it’s been long enough that I’m okay with it, especially since we have great satellite service. We started out with Dish Network and they were okay, until they started changing everything and screwing [...]

Sick ‘n tired of being sick ‘n tired.. that’s the mantra of the day.Tired of stupid, ignorant people. Tired of people who assume.Tired of my back hurting and not having any idea why.Sick of being broke and feeling stressed because of his job.Wishing that I could just skip the month of December, completely.
