I am officially out of money. This really sucks. I have to wait almost 2 weeks till next payday and during that time cannot spend a dime. Not a dime! My son is going to freak. He needs a burger every once in a while, heeheehee. But since we just replaced his Cell Phone that was smashed, he really cannot complain.
I mean really, its not like we have not been here before, but I sure as heck dont like it one little bit. Since I have no commercial real estate to fall back on for incoming rents, I guess we are just going to have to plow thru it all.
Lets just hope I have enough Gas in the Jeepster . . .

Since summer is pretty much upon us, I am thinking about getting Cable TV. I have looked into Satelite, even called them up, but I dont like their customer service reps, so I refuse to deal with them (I was cold transfered 6 times!). So the next step would be cable tv. I know some people that have cable and they are very happy w/their customer service. and, I think I will forgo using the phone and do it all on line. I dont have a social security disability, and I dont ask for much help. But when I am on the phone, I just want someone in the United States that understands English and that can help me and answer my questions! Since I happen to be a CSR, I expect the good customer service. sheesh.

Today feels like a repeat of yesterday; another Monday. Even tho it was a Holiday yesterday, I did work a full day which means I really did not get a holiday. However, I am taking next Wednesday off work. This will be the last ‘time alone’ I will have ’till school starts up again in Fall. At least I dont have to worry about birth announcements ever again, so I better stop complaining. Next Wednesday will be my Holiday.

But today – I am tired. My back still hurts and I have decided that this week will be my last week of exercising in the fitness center here at work. I know, lazy me. But since I started exercising, by back has been hurting. Its okay during the day, but I wake up and I can bearly make it out of bed! I might need a new bed. But I am not sure. So I will quit exercising and see what happens.

BTW – HAPPY BIRTHDAY SIS ! ! !

Today the kiddo and I went to see Night at the Museum II. It was pretty good, not as good as the first one, but good and I liked it a lot. I love movies that have good endings, in fact I only like to watch movies with good endings and this one had a great ending.
Thats why we did not see Terminator instead. I have heard and read, bad reviews, and mostly have heard that the ending is terrible. Plus, Terminator looks so dark; I bet some of the actors got a blackhead or two, as everyone in the trailer is made up to look so dirty and ragged. Even tho I am a big big fan of the past Terminaters (minus #3, cuz the ending sucked) I still want to see it. So . . . I just might wait till it comes to the Red Box, and then rent if for a Dollar.

Well after many hours searching On Line, I finally found a hotel that I like. When we go to NYC in July, we will be staying at the Warwick.

Yeah, its rather expensive, but it is a Totaly Smoke Free establishment and I am very picky in that regard. I hate the smell of smoke, its totally digusting. yuck. Dont even get me started.
Anyways, I still have a lot to do before we go. Mostly I need to visit a flash memory store. I need a new Card for my Camera, a nice big card that will hold lots and lots of pictures. I still have not decided if I am going to take the Laptop with or not. The hotel does have a safe in the room, but I dont know what size. So the laptop might stay w/my friend in DC. Well I am rambling again, so I better get back to work. sheeseh. Now I want to do more trip planning!

Well I need to really get back into the swing of things. Summertime just gets so hectic, my son said just the other day he wished it was winter again so that we could relax and not be so dang hot ! I do love the heat tho, and I love summer, so I am very happy being busy and warm. One on the many things we have done is get the Cat shaved. I love it! She did not need any kind of life insurance medical exam before hand either, they just shaved her bare. Really! Take a look:

Chloe is SO soft now! like velvet. She used to be this big shedding machine, but we took care of that we did! I believe she is much happier too.

Okay, its not really that Wonderful today-it is actualy a very cold Wednesday. We woke up to 37 degrees. Good thing I have not done a thing in the yard as of yet!
Nothing much new these-a-days. Today I was once again, on the Stepper. My back is better, but still sore, so I only did 1.5 miles in 20 minutes. I will see how I feel tomorrow.
Boring Boring Boring. Better get back to work.

Good Gosh do the weekends fly by. This time, it was not so good of a weekend. It was tired, grumpy and just wanted to lay on the couch all the time. However, I did not get to do that at all. We did a bunch of stuff that right now, I cannot seem to remember! Man I am getting old and this sucks.
But I am glad it is Monday. I got back on the Stepper, did my 1.5 miles. Its rather a drag, but since I somehow gained 5 pounds over the weekend, I need to trudge on. I think thats why I am grumpy today; gaining weight always makes me miserable even tho I know it will be gone in a couple days.
ah well, better get back to work and stop complaining so much!
