To a Lazy (NEEDED) Day!

My couch and I are starting to grow apart, so last night I went to the local video store and rented four movies. Today, it is all about me and my couch and our quality time together. When I make a promise to my couch, I keep it. Today, I watched "No Reservations", "How She Move", "Take the Lead", and "The Brave One." I enjoyed all of them in some sense. No Reservations was a good love story and of course I cried at the end. How She Move was an odd movie, but I did enjoy all of the dancing (step'n) in it. I enjoy dancing movies. Take the Lead was very cute and entertaining. A movie about teaching people in different ways always hits me in a special way....I wonder why? The Brave One was a good movie for Jodie Foster. A few parts of the movie were a little unbelievable, but I did enjoy the story.
I did go for a long bike ride. A friend called me today and asked if I wanted to get out for a while. We went for a very long ride and it was peaceful and I enjoyed his company; when we were able to ride next to each other. This city is improving the roads for bicyclists. I hope they continue doing that. I would like to see wider roads with bike lanes, or large sidewalks made for both walkers and bicycles.
I did also go to convenient care for a friend today. He has been very sore for a couple weeks, and I am surprised he lasted this long before going to get some meds. I sure hope he gets a chance to call a doctors office on Tuesday and make an appointment to get some tests done.
Okay, so I was not as lazy as I could have, but I did not have any stress today and that is a good thing. 8 more days to go....I can make it!

Shopping is an addiction

I needed something for the house on Sunday (nails to hang pictures) and I wanted to stop at Office Depot to look at printers for the house. I was just going to price them and see what options are new on them. Well, I looked at three printers and was going to head to another store and look at more. As I walked up front to the door, I looked at the Red Tag table and saw a box with a printer and digital camera together. Now, that was the end of it...next thing I know, I am at home, unpacking a new printer and playing with a digital camera.
This is why I got another job. I wanted to stay busy, and use the extra money to pay off bills. I should be outlawed in electronics stores, and game stores, and clothing stores, outlets malls, basically any store that takes plastic.

Relief from life

I need a vacation!!!

My job will be ending for the summer soon and I SHOULD be on vacation, but stupid me gets a second job and will be working during my vacation. I would like to have some time off from work to either get some work done around the house, or to get away by visiting some friends, family, or just to go see some sights.
Now, here comes my problem.....
For the past three years I have been spending money on the house and various things and putting it on credit. Now I want to be out of debt (except for the mortgage), and it will take a lot of extra money to accomplish this goal. So, I got a second job to work during my summer time break to pay off some of those old debts. Do I try and work as much as I can during my summer time off to accomplish my goal? Do I only work my normal 20 hours a week that I am already working?
I do have another goal that I would like to accomplish this summer, but it is the same goal every year....get back into a work out routine for the gym. I really would like to build up my cardio, loose about 20 pounds, and then tone.
Well, I have another four weeks to decide what to do about my summer.

First post

I am not much of a blogger. This is an attempt to see what this is about and find out if it would be useful for work use at some point. I do not read others' blog, so I do not know what to expect or what other's expect on here. I will just use this as a time to get things off my chest.
For someone that lives alone, I miss hearing other people talk about stuff. That is one of the many things that I miss about a roommate. It is also helpful to get things off my chest, but I am not the type of person to talk to my pillow. I enjoy pillow talk, but not with my pillow.
First thing I need to get off my chest.....
Why do some people need two jobs to make it in society these days, but at the same time, there are people that refuse to get at least a part time job (or can't find one) and live off the system. I am working two jobs to make ends meet, but at the same time, I am busting my butt to give more money to the government, which then goes to those people who live off the system that do not have a job.
I am sure that I am offending a lot of people by writing this, but like I said, whatever is on my mind will be posted on here. Deal with it!
