A Woman’s Diary

I’m tired and sick…I just don’t overall feel good. The thing that sucks is that I just got over a stupid cold about a week ago. Then of course, I somehow get it once again. This time it’s even worse in regards to my cough.

I just want to lounge around and stay home all day. Sadly I can’t because I work. *sigh* …. seriously…. why can’t I just win the lottery so I can stay home and don’t have to worry about working. Grr….

Somebody, please help me out. I am spending way too much money and I just can’t seem to get a grip. I know one of my resolutions was to try to cut my spending both online and off, but I just haven’t managed that yet.

I just paid a $500 credit card bill today. Then I come home after of course going shopping and spending $200 at the mall…I go online and check my credit card balance prior to the $200.

Guess what…it is over $500 ALREADY!!! That’s not including the $200 I just spent, or some other things I put on the card that haven’t shown up yet. Seriously…what do you guys/gals do to control your spending?? Mine is outrageous!!! … and no… I don’t want to cut it up or get rid of it.

I’m an avid reader. In fact, I buy new books almost every week online. My favourite kinds of books are ones that are memoirs or share life experiences of other people.

The great thing is, so many people can share their story easily by Self Publishing from places like AuthorHouse.com.

Why choose them?

• they have been in the self-publishing business for over 10 years
• they have guides who will help you every step of the way
• you make the decisions on how you want your book to look like
• plus, there are even discounts available

If I even get a chance to write a book about my own life, I’d probably go with a company who allows me to make the decisions on what I want out of my story. Companies like Author House allow you to do just that which is why, they rank at the top to me.

If you have a story you would like to share with the world, check them out. Who knows…your book may be coming out sooner than you know it!!

Just when I thought I wasn’t going to get another cold this season, one hits me again. Err…I’m so not happy since I just got over having a cold a week ago. How do I know I’m getting yet another cold? Simply because of this nasty cough I have developed. That’s how all my colds start…always with a constant cough throughout a day.

Thank goodness I have Sudafed now. Man, I am so happy over that since it’ll make my cough go away quicker as it always works for me. The thing I’m not looking forward to is having to be on the phone all day when I’m at work and having to deal with this cough.

Anyways, I got so many photos I still need to upload to flickr that’s it’s unbelievable…so many occasions in February and I haven’t uploaded a single one. *sigh* … hopefully I’ll do that sometime tonight.

Then don’t leave your furry friend home by themselves. Take them with you!! With this handy Small Petmate Kennel Cab sold on PetSmart.com, you can travel in style and it won’t brake your bank account either!

For a low price of only $22.99, this pet carrier can be your furry friend’s gateway to a tropical getaway with you and your family.

This product is suggested for cats, small toy dogs such as chihuahuas or yorkshire terriers, and even small pets such as chinchillas or even a rabbit. Heck, you can even use it for a kitten or puppy.

It measures at 19 x 12.6 x 10.

My sister and I were looking back at some photos from late last year when she was still pregnant with my nephew. It’s crazy to think that she really didn’t even buy that much maternity clothes. She still wore some of her regular clothes that she already owned or just bought a size bigger from what she normally wears.

I can honestly say she didn’t spend much with clothes. I have seen many people go all out and buy a shit load of clothes just to fit, not my sister.

I guess people vary, especially when it comes to pregnancies.

I love looking at random things on the web. Seriously…I do and yes I know it can be weird at times. I’ll search things like morgues, types of surgeries, and even sometimes Alabama land for sale. Okay…maybe not the last one, but the others I do. LOL!!

Yes, totally weird, but you gotta keep your mind busy when you got nothing else to do. I guess the more you learn the better your mind is. Well, that’s what I think anyways.

What random things do you search?

Once again, I’ve been thinking about the goals I set for myself at the beginning of the year. I haven’t accomplished or even started one of the most important ones which was start to live a healthy and active lifestyle.

I don’t know why I haven’t got on the move on with this…really I don’t know. Maybe it’s because I have a job now that requires so many hours and there’s not enough time in a day to do everything. Maybe…or just that it has become one of the least of my worries.

Hopefully I can change this soon enough. I’m thinking about getting more exercise equipment at home to add with the gazelle I have. I want a elliptical or some sort of exercise bike that I can use for a good solid hour everyday. I even saw this cool thing called an ab roller at Wal-Mart for about $100 that seems worthwhile.

I’ll probably by some more equipment soon enough. Hum….tomorrow?? Maybe. LOL!

It would be nice to go on vacation right about now. Why? It’s the middle of winter here in Canada and the weather is horrible.

I am longing for the days when I lay out in the sun relaxing under the peach tree in the backyard. Heck…why haven’t I’ve gone on some sort of vacation with my human family? Hum…I don’t know but it would be nice to get a Branson condo or something similar for us to stay together in.

I would prefer it to be near a lake or something so I can walk by the beach and water in the nice summer breeze. *dreams*

I guess dogs and humans are alike in so many ways. We both have some sort of identification on us all the time. We both can have medical id bracelets if it’s need. And we both love to eat, sleep, and play.

There’s no denying it…dogs are most commonly a human’s best friend. We’ll protect if needed…do you see a cat doing that? I doubt it!

I’m a huge online shopper. Yes…I’ll admit it. Why? Because I don’t really have no shame of it. The only thing I would love to stop is how much I’m spending.

I guess it all works out when I use coupon codes or other such things to get awesome deals and discounts on things. Yes…they really are worthwhile especially when you find ones on things you would normally buy anyways.

So what do you shop for online??

My parents were making a few renovations not too long ago. The main thing was the kitchen downstairs. They hired someone to install an entire kitchen cabinet set, decorated the entire kitchen, and even got some faucets which I think were actually Danze faucets.

Now the kitchen is completed and it looks lovely. We usually have big family gatherings downstairs in this kitchen. It works out really great because there’s plenty of room too!

The only thing I would love to have it a kitchen island. I think those are too cool and would love to have one. Oh well…maybe next time.

There are so many changes I would love to make in my house. Unfortunately I can’t just freely make the changes because its my parent’s house so they usually make the decorating decisions.

I would love to get some beaded curtains and hang them at my door. Where would you buy them anyways? …from a door hardware shop or something? I haven’t really seen any in the doors.

Oh well…I guess I will keep looking and then persuade my parents to switch up some of the doors.

My nephew’s baptism was not too long ago. It was absolutely beautiful too. I haven’t had a chance to upload some photos to share with you all, but I will soon enough.

He got a bunch of gifts from us that varied from gold jewelry, clothes, and even necessities. He even got a beautiful gold chain from my older sister and her finance who have become his godparents. He looks so cute when wearing it…and yes, I do have a photo which I’ll post once I get things sorted out.

I absolutely love shopping online. Like I mentioned in one of my previous posts…it’s becoming very VERY addicting.

I spend a whole great deal of time on Amazon. I always by books, dvds, and other things on there. Of course you have to use Amazon coupons so get great deals.

After all, who doesn’t like saving on some purchases they make? I know I do!
