Insane Random Ramblings

I was supposed to go to the hair dresser last week to get my hair cut and styled. But I decided to cancel the appointment and save the money instead. Now I’m glad I did. It is so hot and humid again this week. It’s supposed to be hot tomorrow as well but really cool down by Friday. I would have been so mad had I gotten my hair done. It would have totally frizzed out the day after getting it done.

Since everyone will try to get their hair done for the holiday weekend, I may be able to squeeze in next week. But if it’s going to be in the 90 degree range for more than 2 days, I’m gonna hold off. Getting my hair done in the heat and humidity is like throwing money away.

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.

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.

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.

It’s not a bad or a horrible summer but it’s not great either. For starters, I’ve been looking for a new job for months and it’s starting to get frustrating. Second, I don’t have the money to go on vacation this year so I’ll be sticking close to home. This will make the second straight year without a vacation. I’m so not used to that as I used to go every year without fail and sometimes it would be twice a year.

I just hope my August is better than my June and July have been.

Literally. I only have about 2 1/2 weeks worth of clothes and guess when the last time I washed clothes was? If you guessed more than 3 weeks ago you would be correct. We had a holiday along with a few other days off so I didn’t need as many work clothes. I have a ton of t-shirts for the weekend so I wasn’t worried about that. It had been so hot that I didn’t want to trudge all the way down to the basement with a full basket of clothes so I’ve been putting it off.

Unfortunately I can’t wait any longer. So I’ll run to the store tonight and get some detergent and dryer sheets. I may look at some eczema relief cream and other health and beauty items. Then I’ll come home and get to work washing clothes.

Doing laundry is my least favorite chore in the house.

Now I know that might not seem like a big deal to most people but it’s pretty devastating for me. It sounds dramatic but it’s true. I wear my flip-flops year-round and yes that does mean in the dead of winter. I don’t wear them out of the house, but I will wear them to run outside and put out garbage. Pretty much as long as it’s above 60 degrees outside they’re fair game.

I have been looking for a new pair to replace them before they broke but I don’t like anything that I see. Most of the flip-flops that I find are either too flat or way too expensive. I don’t need designer shoes and I really don’t plan on paying over $50 for a pair of flip-flops.

Maybe when I run out this weekend to pick up some vitamins and other stuff from the store I’ll get lucky and find a inexpensive pair. I’m not even that picky, I just want a black pair with a small wedge to it. I will be so bummed if I have to go to the department store to find a good pair. I just do not want to spend a lot of money right now.

It’s my day off and I’ve been up since before 8:00am again. It’s annoying because I’m not going anywhere and I don’t have anything planned. I can’t even relax in the bed because I just feel like I should get up. I always end up on the internet looking up a online degree program or just surfing in general. Right now I’m watching a infomercial while playing on the internet.

A baseball game that I want to see comes on at 1:00pm. I just know that I’ll start getting tired around 2:00pm. That seems to be the way it goes.

I know that I’m allergic to chocolate. It does weird things to my immune system when I eat too much of it. I break out into a lot of bumps, not pimples but more hives. I also get cold sores because of the havoc that the excess caffeine causes. The same thing happens when I drink regular Pepsi or regular Coke. I generally drink diet soda because it doesn’t affect me the same way.

You would think I would lay off of this stuff knowing what it does to me. But I just can’t seem to leave it alone. I need to wean myself off of it slowly because stopping cold turkey just isn’t working for me.

Part of it is because I keep gaining weight but that’s not the only reason. Too much grease clogs my pores and reeks havoc on my face. I look like I need a adult acne treatment to control all of the zits that I have. Some days depending on what I eat I can take a napkin and dab off the excess grease that comes back out of my skin. It’s pretty gross actually.

I need to add more fruits and veggies and less snacks. It’s gonna be hard though because I love my junk food.
