Insane Random Ramblings

I got my insurance information a few months ago. My car insurance increased but my homeowners insurance didn’t, it stayed exactly the same. Well I was fairly happy until yesterday when I got my mail. My insurance information changed and it increased, again. I am so not happy right now.

I’ll admit that my insurance is still cheaper than it was with my old company and that was over 2 years ago. But while this new company started out cheaper, they nickel and dime me every year. Within the next year I’ll be right back where I started.

I guess it’s time to start shopping for a new company again.

Wahoooo. That is so awesome. I was happy a couple of years ago when we finally got a IHOP here in Pittsburgh. I didn’t even know it had opened until we were riding by one day and saw a really small sign. When we drove back we made sure to drive by the area and saw that sure enough, there was a new restaurant on the side of the hill.

Today I was going to the Waterfront because I needed to make a deposit at my bank when I noticed that they are building a new IHOP right here in the city. I better get online and start reading reviews for top rated diet pills because I’m going to be spending a lot of time in the new IHOP come Spring of this year.

I don’t know if it’s such a good idea that this restaurant is going to be so close to me. I can already see me spending a lot of time there.

Ughhhh this weather is the worse. First it rained almost every day last week. Now it’s getting hot which isn’t really a problem for me. But it’s also getting humid which is a definite hair killer. My hair has frizzed something terrible. I’ve flat-ironed it 3 times this week already and it’s still not straight.

My budget doesn’t call for a trip to the hair dresser until the middle of June. This stinks! I’ve been trying to look more dressed up lately so I’ve been doing my hair. I figure if I’m going to take the best fat burners I could find to lose weight and look good I may as well go for the gusto and look good all over. But with all of this frizz, I just look a mess.  I guess I’ll just pull it back in my usual ponytail.

I hadn’t really planned on going to any games this year. One of my favorite teams isn’t coming to town and my other favorite team will be here the week I’m on vacation. I may or may not be out of town so I’m not planning on going to the games.

Anyway my company is having a day at the ballpark next month and all employees are invited to go. We get a ticket for ourselves and $10 for concessions loaded onto our tickets. Sometimes the team has giveaways on game days so I’ll have to check out the schedule to see if anything is going on that day. Who knows maybe they’ll give away t-shirts or I’ll see a rv for sale or something. I think it’s a great deal and I can’t wait until the game day gets here because it sounds like a lot of fun.

I may not like the department that I work in but my company is great.

Ughh today is not a good day. I was reaching for my morning cup of Joe when I knocked it over. There was coffee everywhere. It was all over my desk, under the keyboard and even in the boxes underneath my desk. Needless to say, it spilled all over my pants and on one of the brand new shirts that I had just gotten. It even soaked my fat burner pill that I was gonna take after break. I had to hurry up and take it because it started dissolving on my desk.

Now I’ll spend the next 5 hours reeking of coffee. I hope nothing else goes wrong today. I can’t wait to get home and change.

I specifically went to the store yesterday to buy healthy snacks. I got almonds, fruit and low calorie popcorn. There were no real perishables so I went out for a while before heading home. When I finally unpacked the bags (close to midnight) I realized that the almonds had fallen out of the bag and into the back seat of my car. I was not going back outside that late at night to get them either.

Now today I have no good snacks. If I had bought the weight loss supplement that I wanted to try I could have that. But I decided to wait until after the holiday weekend. I’m really rethinking that decision right now. Luckily I go to lunch soon because I am starving.

Remember last week when I talked about this guy? Well he’s back at my bus stop again. He’s been there for the past few days. He’s kinda creeping me out right now. He just stands there staring. He’s always sweaty and clammy-looking like he just got off of a treadmill or something. Then he kinda looks at me then looks away then sneaks a peak back over my way.

I usually put my headphones on once I get to the bus stop but I feel like I need to be extra observant around this dude. He seems pretty weird and he gives me a bad vibe.

We only have 1 real radio station in town and it’s just ok. They play Pop and Top 40 but it’s the same songs in rotation every hour which really stinks. They will ocassionally sneak in a Hip-Hop or R&B song on you but that’s about it. We do have 1 other station but their selection is even worse. Nothing but Top 40 with a hour long rotation.

At work we can’t stream music anymore so you’re pretty much at the mercy of the radio. I really need to add some music to my mp3 player because radio stinks.

I returned home from my ninth business trip of the year with a severe bout of jet lag–induced foot-in-mouth disease. As we prepared to go to sleep that night, I wrapped my arms around my better half, gave her a kiss, and announced, “It’s good to be in my own bed, with my own wife!”

Yuck. I was waiting for the bus this morning and this guy walks to our stop from up the street. I don’t know why he walked because he was actually at the stop before ours. Anyway he stands there and starts scratching himself. You know, in his “special” place. I swear he must have something down there because he would scratch, stop then start over again. Both me and the other person at the bus stop noticed and the other guy shot me a “is he for real?” look.

You better believe that as soon as the bus got to our stop I got on first. I didn’t want to potentially touch anything that he put his hands on. Ewwwww what a yucky way to start the day.
