No not a good groove either. I’m talking about the groove of getting up and going to work every day. I was on vacation last week and I didn’t have to get up until I was ready to get up. I did wake up almost every morning at my normal time but I had the pleasure of laying back down and sleeping in.
Today is my first day back and I’m already tired. Hopefully this week will fly by and I’ll get to enjoy our upcoming 3 day weekend.
But I am so not ready to really sign up yet. I have had to make a account to poke around the site but I’m not ready to add friends or create a full profile just yet. I did notice that quite a few of my family members are on there. My cousin who has one of those great healthcare it jobs is on there. He gets to update his page from work since he’s in IT. I mean who better to get around a firewall than the IT guy?
Anyway, I’ll probably spend a little time on the site this weekend seeing who’s who and what’s what. Who knows, maybe I’ll actually start posting myself.
In a very small alley two trucks driving in opposite directions meet.
As the drivers are equally stubborn, neither of them wants to reverse.
They angrily look one at the other.
Finally, one of them picks up a newspaper and starts reading.
The other one politely asks, “When you’ve finished the paper, will you please bring it over, and let me read it?”
My birthday is coming up next week and I want to buy myself something but I have no idea what. I went to ebillme to look for coupons to some of the sites that I shop at. I did see both Kmart and Sears among the stores that I’ve heard of. There was also Wireless Emporium and My Jewelry Box (which sounds like it could be my new favorite store).
The cool thing with ebillme is that a bunch of websites now use this service. I don’t have to use any credit cards or debit cards. I buy what I want and check out using ebillme. Then I get a bill by email which I pay from my online bank account and that’s it! Easy as can be. And if that’s not enough, they also have a rewards program where you can save 1% on future purchases. That money can really add up too.
Last year I used ebillme to buy a mp3 player from TigerDirect. I used the bill pay option at my bank to pay ebillme for the item. That’s it…not hard at all. The best part is I don’t have to use a credit card or give out my banking information. You simply set up ebillme as a payee at your bank and it’s done and over.
Now I have to get back to shopping because I think that jewelry store is calling my name.
Priestly Persuasion…
A distinguished young woman on a flight from Switzerland asked the priest beside her, “Father, may I ask a favor?” “Of course. What may I do for you?”
“Well, I bought an expensive! electronic hair dryer that is well over the Customs limits and I’m afraid they’ll confiscate it. Is there any way you could carry it through Customs for me? Under your robes perhaps?”
“I would love to help you, dear, but I must warn you: I will not lie.” “With your honest face, Father, no one will question you.”
When they got to Customs, she let the priest go ahead of her. The official asked, “Father, do you have anything to declare?” “From the top of my head down to my waist, I have nothing to declare. ” The official thought this answer strange, so asked, “And what do you have to declare from your waist to the floor?”
“I have a marvelous little instrument designed to be used on a woman, but which is, to date, unused.” Roaring with laughter, the official said, “Go ahead, Father - - Next!”
And I am totally out of money! I can’t believe I waited until the last minute to decide that I wanted to go somewhere for vacation. I have no idea what I’m going to do for an entire week. Had I planned ahead, I could have gone on a nice vacation. Renting one of the Outer Banks homes on the beach sounds like a really good idea right now. I may even be able to still get a reservation but I don’t have anyone to go with since it’s so last minute.
I’ll figure out something to do close to home so I won’t just sit around the house. And I may just be able to squeeze a few days at the beach in there after all.
Especially on Wednesday. I mean it was horrible. I was sitting at my desk and all of a sudden I got extremely hot. Then I felt light-headed and dizzy all at the same time. I thought that maybe my blood sugar had gotten low so I ate some candy and drank a bunch of water and tea. I don’t think the tea was good for me but it was better than soda.
Once I got home I drank almost an entire bottle of PowerAde and laid on the couch. I don’t know what was wrong but I felt like crap. Even though yesterday was a blah-type of day too, I hope this week will be better.
A man was driving home late one afternoon, and he was driving above the speed limit. He notices a police car with its red lights on in his rear view mirror. He thinks “I can outrun this guy,” so he floors it and the race is on. The cars are racing down the highway — 60, 70, 80, 90 miles an hour.Finally, as his speedometer passes 100, the guy figures “What the heck,” and gives up. He pulls over to the curb.
The police officer gets out of his cruiser and approaches the car. He leans down and says “Listen mister, I’ve had a really lousy day, and I just want to go home. Give me a good excuse and I’ll let you go.”
The man thought for a moment and said… “Three weeks ago, my wife ran off with a police officer. When I saw your cruiser in my rear view mirror, I thought that you were the officer and that you were trying to give her back to me!”
But I have absolutely no idea what it was. I mean I totally forgot what I was looking for in a mere matter of minutes. I had closed my internet browser and was about to power down my computer when I remembered that I wanted to look for something. So I clicked to reopen my browser and waited forever for the internet to reload. The page finally loaded and I went to my handy search engine…..and drew a blank. I could have wanted to look at the barcode scanner for the new air conditioner I want to buy. Or I could have just wanted to check my bank balance. One thing is for sure, I have no idea what exactly it was that I wanted to do.
I feel kinda crazy because it was 3 days ago and I still haven’t the foggiest what it was I wanted to look for. I guess it will come to me eventually.
We meaning the bus that I was riding on. Luckily nobody was hurt and there were only minor scratches to the car but it was still crazy. We were near the preschool furniture store bus stop when a suv pulled out of a convenience store parking lot and the bus side-swiped him. Actually the bus barely grazed the truck. The mirror on the bus did scratch the paint of the suv. We had to sit there for almost 10 minutes while they exchanged information.
The worse part of the situation is that the bus driver will get a mark on his service record even though it was totally the other guys’ fault.
