A Woman’s Diary

Man..when you are extremely bored online, I guess you will search up anything. What did I search? Something completely random — progesterone.

Like I said…random. That’s how bored I am tonight. Maybe I’ll go watch a movie or catch up on some dvds of tv shows I have which I haven’t even opened yet. Ya…I barely have time to watch anything these days. But today, I’m free to do something and thankfully I’m off from work tomorrow too.

Yippy!! Hopefully I’ll have some time to catch up on blogging and updating my sites.

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.

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.

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!

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 some things I just absolutely love about the house we are living in, but then there are some I don’t. Even though our house was a brand new lot when we moved in about 10 years ago, I still miss some stuff from our old house.

The major I thing I really miss is the enormous backyard we had. There was so much room to do all sorts of things and the outdoor lighting was always superb. Now our backyard is three quarters of what it used to be and to me, that’s quite a difference.

I can’t add a large pool in the backyard we have now because there isn’t enough room with the peach tree and garden we have. At our old house, I easily fit one without any hassles. This is one of the things I really don’t like because I want a huge pool. Arggh…

And no…my parents don’t want to move. *sigh*

I am not even joking. I’ve got a running nose that sometimes feels stuck even though I blow it all the time. I’ve also got a bad cough, sore throat, watery eyes, sneeze marathons, and have taken more Advil for headaches in the past few days than I have in all my life!!! And no, I’m NOT exaggerating!!

I even called in sick on Wednesday from my job because I felt like complete crap in the morning. That day I slept well into the afternoon. Even now, a few days later, I still have the stupid cold but have been going to work regardless. After all, I can’t be missing a shit load of days from my new job. No thanks…I don’t want to put that into jeopardy.

I work again tomorrow but hopefully I’ll get a chance to swing by Wal-Mart in the morning so I can check out the cold medications they have. I usually get Sudafed which has ALWAYS worked in getting my colds to go away. Julie also suggested Nyquil which I can honestly say, I’ve never tried.

I’m not a huge pill popper or medication taker. In fact, I prefer to have my body heal itself from any sickness the natural way. So when I said I’ve taken more Advil in the past few days…it really was the honest truth. I’ve probably going taken Advil once or twice in all my 22 years of living. I know…unbelievable. LOL!! Sudafed I have taken once or twice every year when I get really bad colds such as this. That’s the one thing I know that will always work to get rid of it that fast way. Plus, I’ve never had any side affects from it either. So that’s a plus!! LOL!

Anyways, I’m heading to bed so I can finish reading this amazing book called Yakuza Moon by Shoko Tendo which I think is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I can’t put this book down at all because it’s really interesting. Then again, I absolutely love the Japanese culture, so I’d read anything related to it. I’ve read some great books in my lifetime, and this is definitely one of them. I’ll probably have a review of it once I’m done on my other site Fading Away In Life.

Toodles for now and btw, Happy Valentine’s Day even though I’m a day late.

My nephew is such a little cutie!! I was able to snap some photos of him playing in this saucer like object for babies. He was bobbing around in it and everything. It was hilarious!! Here are some photos below.

I am sooo ready for the summer time. Really…all this snow and super cold weather is driving me insane!! And it doesn’t help when the wind is strong and crazy too as it just makes the temperature even colder!!

Arrggh….I really want to go camping this summer as a family. Of course we’ll need travel gear and other camp stuff as we have never gone camping before. Well, everyone hasn’t except my older sister and her fiance. They went last year I think…

I can’t wait until it’s time to wear flip flops and shorts. I’m really longing for those days bad…*sigh*

My mp3 player sucks ass. I bought it for $179 a few years back, which in turn was just a waste. The battery is all messed up and doesn’t charge properly. Plus the headphones are shit. I think I need quality ones like the Bose headphones.

The money I spent on this mp3 player could of been spent on an iPod. I’m sure those last longer and are way better than what I have.

Humm…maybe I’ll buy an iPod Nano next month. I’ve been meaning to buy one of those for awhile now.

My sister’s birthday is coming up really really soon. I can’t say exactly what I bought her online because she does check my blogs, but I can give a hint. It sort of deals with a mobile router…well more like a wireless router.

Can you guess what it is??

All I know is that she’ll be super excited once she opens it up because it will be the most expensive gift she has gotten for her birthday in her life. I hope she likes it…in fact, I know she’ll LOVE IT!!

The place I work at has been really good so far. The thing I love the best is that all I’m doing is taking orders over the phone and using a computer, plus I’m getting paid mucho dinero!! $$$$$

Once my probation period (aka “newbie” status) is up, I’m hoping to advance within the company. There’s a few different sections I could really see myself working at. One of them being marketing. I absolutely love doing market research and know what people want for the service this company provides. Heck, I know exactly what I would want!!

The one thing I’ll NEVER and I mean NEVER want to get a job with is the customer service department. HELL NO!!

I can’t believer the rudeness I get from people over the phone while I take their order for certain things. Plus, they get pissed at me if I can’t hear them if their phone keeps cutting in and out. So there’s no way I can deal with angry people day in and day out in customer service.

Kudos to anyone who works in customer service. I wouldn’t be able to do it because of the stupidity of the people you have to deal with. Anyone who deals with the general public knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Yup…in my previous post I was saying that I was looking forward to three days off and would finally get a chance to catch up on blogging. That totally didn’t happen at ALL!!

I’ve been preoccupied with other things and I hate to admit it, but the last thing on my mind was blogging. I have many other things that I have to catch up on such as my reading and others. Plus the weather hasn’t been to great also, so it’s kind of like a sour atmosphere around here.

When are the brighter days going to come around?? *sigh*

That’s what my life feels like. Now I remember why I took over a year off from work and lived off the money I had saved. Man…I’m sooo longing for that again.

I have no time for anything!! By the time I get up, I have to shower, eat something, and then it’s off to work only to repeat the same thing the next day. Seriously, where is my free time to relax!!?? These past few days have been killing me. I have to work once again to the wee hours of the morning. By the time I get home, I’ll pass out and sleep right away. That’s what I feel like doing right now.

Thank goodness next week is not as crazy!! I’m actually looking forward to seeing Monday roll around because I’m off three days then. *whew* …… then I can finally catch up on a lot of things I’m missing out on that is going on in the web world.

Anyways, I gotta cut this short because you know why. I have to get ready for friggin’ WORK!!! Arrggghhh…

On my other blogs I have mentioned that I was trying to make a decision between getting my own place or buying my own car (would be a Mazda Tribute). After much consideration and the benefits of both, I decided that getting a car would be more beneficial and overall cheaper than renting my own place.

Well, that’s not going to stop me from checking out things that I would love to own for my own place. I still check out the platform beds, decor, dining furniture, and other things on almost every furniture store I go to. I even check online too!!

I even bookmarked some things I want to purchase so I can always come back and buy them once I do get my own place.

Planning can be fun but the treaty part is saving the money. *sigh*
