Insane Random Ramblings

I’m not worried about the holidays, I’m worried about paying for school. I owe almost $3500 for this semester and I don’t have that much cash. I have to take a loan and pay for the rest in cash. I also need money for books. I’m looking at retail jobs since they’re some of the only people that are hiring this year. With the economy the way it is right now, I’m surprised that they’re hiring at all.

Now all I have to do is figure out how I’m going to work 2 jobs and go to school at the same time.

I don’t have a topic today so I’ll talk about my top five things to do this weekend:

1. Read my book for class. I haven’t read it at all so instead of 5 chapters, it’s 10 chapters. I’ll break it down 5 on Saturday and 5 on Sunday.
2. Go shopping tomorrow for breakfast food. I don’t a lot either. Just oatmeal, fruit and milk. It should be a short trip.
3. Get my car inspected. My inspection expired and I haven’t gone yet to get it done. I don’t feel like sitting in the shop but I need to get it done.
4. Surf the internet all weekend. I’ll be on and off of the computer all weekend looking up everything from Hydroxycut reviews to celebrity gossip and everything in between.
5. Search for a flight during the holidays. I haven’t decided if I’m going home for either one but I need to know how much a flight will set me back. Hopefully it won’t be much.

Have a great weekend!

And that’s when the fight started

When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take hersomeplace expensive. So, I took her to a gas station.

You know how there are caps on the lids of Pepsi for that Pepsi Stuff contest? They want you to download songs or save up for sweepstakes? Well I never downloaded the music, I always entered the sweepstakes and last week I won a mp3 player. It’s pretty nice too. The crazy thing is now I have a 2 mp3 players and I don’t have any music downloaded onto my hard drive for them.

My ipod has been acting up so it’s nice to know that I have a backup. Not that I have any music to put on it though. I need to gather up my cd’s to see which tracks I want to rip onto my hard drive. I do need to make sure I back them up though. I already had my hard drive crash once. I don’t want to take the time to save all of my favorite music and then lose it. Been there done that.

I haven’t been able to write at all. First I had a mid-term that was on the 3rd. I figured I would catch up during the rest of the week. Then I found out my Mom was sick and I couldn’t concentrate to write at all. Today is the 11th and I haven’t written a thing.

I could wait until next year and try again but I think I have a solution for me. November is 30 days long. I’ll wait until the 15th and start writing for the last 15 days of the month. Instead of the 50,000 word goal, I’ll strive for 25,000 words. I like to talk and I’m long-winded so the word count shouldn’t be a problem. But I often write 2 or more stories at one time so focusing on just one story might be a little hard for me.

I plan on trying it and seeing where I end up.

You know that Brach’s candy that you get from the grocery store? The kind that you thought was “complimentary” when you were a kid. I ate a whole bag of it. It was at least a half pound of candy. I had mostly pepper mints and those blue mints, some Jolly Ranchers and a few other pieces of hard candy. I bought the candy on Saturday and I only have 5 pieces left.

No wonder my tummy hurts.

I haven’t really been blogging lately. I skipped my joke and the Friday Five this week. I’ll pick them back up next week hopefully with more posts.

I just found out that my mom has been sick so I really haven’t had much to say. She’s really doing a lot better so that won’t be on my mind and I can get back to normal. Believe me when I say that every aspect of my life has been put on the back-burner.

I wasn’t planning on going home for the holidays but I’m definitely looking into it now.

I listen to the radio but right now they’re playing garbage. It’s supposed to be a top ten countdown but I don’t like most of the songs. I figure if I bring my own music to listen to I’ll be much better off. Then I can just listen to music. I won’t have to listen to commercials encouraging me to find the best mover NYC has to offer when that’s not something that I’m interested in.

Now I just have to find some good cds to bring with me.

I’ve been super busy for the past couple of weeks at work. I’ve spent most of the time working on one account. Today one of my coworkers helped me to finally get it in balance. Wanna guess how much it was out? One penny!!!! I spent the last 4 days working on one lousy penny.

I’ll be so glad to get this account off of my desk. I’ve been stressed out and I’ve gone home with a headache for the past few days. It was like there was a pain pump just throbbing in my head or something. I took tylenol but it wasn’t helping as the pain seemed to be behind my eyes. Those are the worse headaches for me.

Now I just have to figure out which papers are important and which one can get thrown out. It looks like there was a paper explosion on my desk!

I went to a baby shower on Saturday and then I went shopping. I didn’t do anything once I got home. I had planned on spending Sunday reading and preparing for my mid-term. Except I didn’t sleep too well at night and then I slept all day long on Sunday. And I do mean all day.

Once I finally got out of bed and got something to eat, I couldn’t concentrate to study or read. I was groggy and totally out of it. Between work and school I have 1 1/2 hours. I guess I’ll be reading and studying on the bus and in-between class. Unfortunately the in-class assignment is a group presentation. I don’t even have my ideas on paper. Hopefully within that 90 minutes I can get that done as well.

I have to do all of that on the limited amount of sleep that I got last night. I only slept 3 hours last night total and I won’t get home until almost 9:30 pm. Today is not going to be a good day.
