It's Monday, a dreaded day by everyone who starts a new work week. For once today was actually a decent day :-) It was very quiet at work today and although I was quite busy I got a ton of stuff accomplished which makes me feel good! The phones were pretty quiet mostly because some of our customers were closed due to the weather.
Speaking of weather, we have been awaiting another winter storm of snow and ice. We didn't get much snow, mostly sleet and it is going to continue through the night...yuck! I don't know what the roads will be like tomorrow, but I do know that ice is never a good thing. You can't drive on ice so I don't know what the work situation will be for tomorrow, but hopefully we will be able to make it in...I am not ready to start giving up vacation for an ice day.
Speaking of Monday...it's Bacholeor night! I love this show :) I was so glad that Brad ditched those two girls who were constanly bickering with each other. The fang girl has got to go next, she is quiet strange and kinda scares me. Are her teeth naturally like that or did she have that done to them? What a werido!!!! I think this season is going to be very entertaining and I am super excited about it... I am so glad the holidays are over and all the shows are starting over, I was really getting tired of the re-runs and tv is my favorite way to unwind at the end of the day.
I have also had some random thoughts of things I need to do or start to do again....for giggles I will tell everyoen about them :)
**After a long break from daily meter checking I got a reality check today. Yes, my light bill which was $355.00 this is $100.00 more than usual. I know these cold days have helped to make our bill jump, but this is ridiculous and I am going to have to start checking that meter again and keeping up with our power consumption yet again...and the insanity starts again!!!!
**Due to some rising cost of my prescriptions (stupid insurance) I am also going to have to start my money monitering again. This is a very time consuming process where I write down every penny I spend in a note book and color code it into groups. The point of this is to see where most of my money goes durring the month and then work to lower certian groups of spending or at least be more cautious of my spending.
**Find us a new credit card. Over the holidays Mark's credit card was used frauduenlty online to purchase something for $200.00, after talking to the company it was charged to they agreed to credit the charge. After they credited the charge the stupid credit card company (Capital One) put the charge back on our account. We have been going back and fourth with them for 2 months on this now and it is so flustrating. Thier mistake and they act like it's no big deal. FYI ---> NEVER get a credit card through Capital One, their customer service SUCKS big time and they are complete idiots. I have never seen a company that is so slack on taking care of their own mistake.
**Work on the coupon stuff. I have been slack with my coupons lately. I feel like I could be doing better with that and I will start spending more time trying to save money with my coupons :)
**EXERCISE....Blah Blah Blah! I really got out of my routine over the holidays. Who knew taking 3 weeks off would make it so hard to get back in the swing of things? Well, I have got to get on the ball. I did ride my exercise bike yesterday, but today I did nothing. Before my 3 week exercise vacation I worked out 6 days a week, and now I have been lazy. Time to get that back under control before I add too many pounds and have to start all over again =:0
**Last but not least conquer my sewing machine!!! I was so excited to get a sewing machine for my birthday this year. I can do anything, and I thought this would be another thing I would just jump into and it would be easy. Yeah, that didn't happen....AT ALL!!!!!!!! I have spent hours yelling and screaming and being frustrated at this machine. It's not easy, and it drives me absolutely crazy. So hopefully before the end of the year I can actually make something that doesn't look terrible and I can become a good sewer. Unfortunately I thought I would be a master by now and making curtains and who knows what else... At this point, I just hope I can make the stitches work without being too much extra thread and just totally messed up. If I can make a pillow I will be happy. I attempted an apron and that was a total mess...maybe before the end of the year I will be able to do that. Wishful thinking :)
Well that's about all I have on my mind today. I think I am going to go clean my kitchen and get ready for bed. I might have to work tomorrow...LOL
