Insane Random Ramblings

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.

I haven’t felt like exercising for the past few weeks. I’ve seriously slacked off of my exercise program recently. I used to exercise 5 or 6 days per week. Now I’m lucky if I get 3 days in. I also have a ton of junk food in the house that I need to eat or get rid of. I can’t even imagine throwing food away. I’ve been planning on going to weightlossstories.org to see what other people have been doing and what works for them. I do realize that not everything will work for everyone but I’m curious as to what’s out there.

I plan on losing some weight this year and I need all the help I can get.

I did want it to be a quiet week but I really wasn’t looking forward to being bored for the whole week. I went out the other day and I massively overspent my money. I bought a bunch of junk really. No not useless junk, I mean junk food. I bought hot dogs, chips, and soda. I did buy some fruit but not as much as I usually buy. It doesn’t even matter that I’m taking weight loss pills because with all of the snacks that I’ve been eating I won’t be losing any weight. Not any time soon anyway. I have to get back on the bandwagon with my exercise and eating program.

Since I don’t have any plans for this week, maybe I’ll plan a menu and actually cook on my days off. Who knows, stranger things have happened.

Man I thought today would never get here. It’s been a crazy couple of weeks at work and I really need the time off. I think it’s because of the fact that I only have 2 weeks worth of vacation now. That’s not really a lot of down time to relax.

Today was also the first day of my vacation. I don’t have anything to do because I don’t have a lot of money. I don’t mind having the extra days to just chill around the house though.

Hopefully my neighbors will cooperate and it will be a nice quiet week.

And I’m am so ready for it. I’m exhausted and I really need a rest. I haven’t really had any days off this year except for sick days and the few holidays that we’ve had. I haven’t had more than 3 days in a row off since last year. I don’t want to think about anything while I’m off either. I may do some shopping for Fall and Winter clothes, Halloween invitations if I decide to have a small get together and things like that. I will go visit some of my family but I don’t know for how long.

I want to rest on my vacation and I hate to say it but my family can sometimes stress me out more than my job.

I haven’t decided yet. My regular week of vacation is the week of my birthday and I’m planning on going home for a couple of days. I want to visit with my family that I don’t get to see that often. My moms birthday is a week and a half before my vacation so I may go home that weekend as well.

I’ll probably drive for the longer vacation since I’ll have a chance to relax after the trip. I’m not too sure about taking my phone though. I don’t think there are a lot of cell towers  for my provider on my route. I don’t want to get out in the middle of nowhere and not have a signal. I’ve had a accident in the past and I’m paranoid about that. I may borrow one of my friends’ phones.

I guess I had better make my decision pretty soon. I want to still be able to get a reasonable ticket for my short weekend. That’s if I have enough money to do both. I guess I should balance the old checkbook before I start making too many plans.

I’m just tired and burned out. I haven’t really had any days off since last year when I went on vacation. All of the days that I’ve taken off since then have been sick days or total exhaustion days. I don’t have anything special that I want to do either. I just want to stay home for a few days and relax. I don’t want to worry about getting up for work or even think about work.

I guess it’s just a dream right now.

I was really glad to talk to my car cousin the other night. She’s doing really well and I’m extremely happy for her. This is her final year of school so she’s busy with the prom and her senior trip among other things. She also told me that she wants to come and visit me before she leaves for college. I need to start looking for travel deals once she gives me the exact dates that she wants to come visit. I told her that I don’t want her thingo plan anything for at least a week before she leaves for college. I want to make sure she has enough time to get all of her last minute things for school.

I can’t wait until she visits though. It’s gonna be a blast.

I really wanted to go out of the country. Somewhere like Mexico or Costa Rica. My vacation is a present for myself for finally graduating school. That means the trip won’t happen until at least May of next year because I won’t graduate until the end of April.  I already know I won’t have any extra money until then.

I seriously doubt that I’ll be able to afford something expensive though. I really love cruises so that may be a option. The only bad thing is that I’m probably going to go by myself. I’m tired of not being able to go places because nobody wants to go or they back out at the last minute. So I’ll have to pay the single supplement which is usually double.

I’m pretty open to places to go though. But I know now is the time to start planning.

I don’t plan on doing much during my vacation. I probably won’t go anywhere and if I do it won’t be far. One of my local malls is adding all of these really expensive shops. Burberry, Louis Vuitton and Nordstrom’s are just a few of the stores that will be opening soon.

I hope they open soon. I can stroll around and window shop. I get tired of only looking at fitness equipment or kitchen appliances all the time. I won’t be able to buy anything at any of those stores but I can look.

Did I mention Tiffany’s is eventually opening in that mall? Now that’s a store I might actually buy something at. I’ve had my eye on a necklace from there for a couple of years. Who knows what I’ll do once the store actually opens up. I’m kinda excited for the opening day now.
