Insane Random Ramblings

Ugh my car needs so much work right now. One of the known “faults” or defects with my car is squeaky brakes. I try to let my car heat up for at least 3 minutes before I drive anywhere so I don’t have to deal with the sound. Well I haven’t driven anywhere in over 2 weeks so I let the car heat up for almost 7 minutes instead. The poor brakes still sounded horrible.

I’ll have to take my car and let a mechanic check it out because those things sound bad. I’ll probably do some shopping while I’m waiting. I might check out hgh supplements, vitamins and zinc tablets to keep a cold at bay. I’ll probably be in there a while since I expect to need a lot of work.

It’s almost time for my annual inspection so I may as well get that done too. No sense going back more times than necessary. I just hope it doesn’t cost too much.

I went shopping for food and bought a bunch of other stuff instead. I did buy food but I got much more. I bought a lot of junk food. I got pork rinds, candy, and cookies. I also bought juice and 2 bottles of sports drinks. I did buy bacon and bread but I forgot the eggs again. I didn’t buy any equestrian apparel while I was there but that was probably the only thing I didn’t buy. I had only planned on spending a few dollars but I spent $30 more than I wanted to.

At least I have everything I need for the next couple of weeks. If it snows like crazy again, I’m prepared.

We’ve had so much snow for the past 10 days that I haven’t been out of the house except to go to work. I just about cleaned out my pantry and I have nothing in the house to drink. I try to at least keep a sports drink in the house because I tend to get dehydrated. I don’t need to buy any fat burner for men products but I do need some quick and easy to cook foods. Right now I don’t have anything that I can cook that will take less than an hour. That’s way too long for me. I don’t wanna spend 30 minutes cooking let alone double that amount of time.

I hope the weather cooperates long enough for me to get to the store and back.

At least not for me. I really didn’t want the Saints to win. I was cheering as hard as I could for the Colts but it just wasn’t meant to be this year. I didn’t even like the commercials this year. I’m pretty ambivelant on the new E-Trade baby. He’s ok but I was used to the old baby. I couldn’t really get too excited about the commercial.

I did not like the Doritos commercial with the little boy, the mother and her date. I was really beside myself when I saw him slap the guy. I would have been heading for the nearest exit signs and not looking back. There’s something about this commercial that really gets under my skin but I can’t put my finger on it. I did however love the Snickers commercial with Betty White and Abe Vigoda. I know it’s bad to laugh at old people getting jacked up but the commercial was funny.

Here’s hoping that the Steelers are in the Super Bowl next year. Or at least there are better commercials.

We were expecting something like 8-10″ of snow. Instead we got over 21″. Yeah almost 2 feet of snow. Ughhh the city has pretty much been shut down since Friday. Most of the roads weren’t even plowed until late Sunday night. They only concentrated on the main roads. You could hardly get from the side streets to the main roads. And that’s not the worst of it either. We’re supposed to get another storm tomorrow into Wednesday which will give us another 6-8″.

This is one long Winter we’re having. Is it Spring yet?

It seems like it’s been snowing every day since Winter started. Actually since before Winter started because we got our first snow in early December. Now we’re in for a really big storm this weekend. Not as big as the storm the DC/VA and NJ/DE areas are going to get. They’re getting blizzard-like conditions this weekend. We’re only getting 6-8″ of snow. That’s a very sarcastic “only” I should not.

I really hate snow and Winter. I was supposed to move this year but my money is not where I need it to be. I could book one of those Branson vacation packages or a trip to somewhere warm until the snow stops. The way this weather has been going that could turn into a very long trip.

I can’t wait for Spring to finally get here.

Not a lot though. Probably 1 or 2 thousand or so. I have to fly or earn miles every 18 months to keep my miles active. I haven’t flown in that long and I won’t be flying before the end of summer. I have almost 60,000 miles in that account and I don’t want them to expire. I plan on using them for a really nice vacation within the next 2 years.

I could buy something through the airlines shopping service. I mean I don’t really need an excuse to buy a new 55″ Samsung HDTV but I’m trying to hold off on that until my one of my tv’s dies. They’re both going strong so I won’t be buying a new tv for a while. There are also certain things I don’t like to buy online. I don’t like having heavy things shipped because of the cost so I buy them in store.

The miles could take up to 6 weeks to post after my purchase so I’ll be better off just buying a small amount of miles. I need to make sure the miles post before the end of the month because I don’t want to lose any of the ones that I have. Looking on the bright side of things those miles will bring me closer to my dream vacation in a year or two.
