Good thing that I got a good TV and internet bundle before the new Jason Wu collection comes out at Target this week. Last time I was really excited about things at Target ( MIssoni Collection) we had older and more expensive internet connection. It was so annoying because I kept getting kicked off the server. What made me the most mad is that people were not buying the things for themselves. They were obviously buying them to resale at a higher price. It was so annoying. I looked on eBay and the Missoni infinity scarf that I really wanted was selling for two hundred dollars. It was a joke! I think that if people are going to resell things on the internet that they should put a limit on the number of things that people can buy. I got really annoyed when I went to the store and couldn’t find anything but a hat and some socks. Now I am going to be prepared to get on the internet. I know that I will definitely have better luck this time. I have also gotten my mother in law to get ready and do some on-line shopping for me too!
I remember I had a friend that had very bad credit and that made it very hard for her to be approved for a credit card and bank account. This is why I love that you can also get your check direc deposit and more. It your card and your money. There’s no credit check, no debt, no interest and no overdraft fees. With FREE Direct Deposit, your pay or benefits checks arrive faster each payday. Use it everywhere Visa debit cards are accepted - grocery stores, restaurants, retail stores, gas stations, shop online, pay bills and more. You add money to iw ehen you want, when you can and voila!

Whoever said that working from home was easy was certainly right! My company is based out of Beverly Hills, and the traffic around here is horrible. California has such a problem with commuting because of all of the people who live here. Because of this, a lot of state legislation is asking companies to let their employees work from home. At first, this was met with a lot of grumbling, but only by the bosses! Most of us were sitting around hoping that this would work out for us. My company ended up finding a great internet deal (check out clear wireless internet Beverly Hills), and then everyone was told that they were to come in three days a week and work from home the other two. This has actually increased productivity, and saved the company on bill payments! It looks like the government has done something right for once! I’m certainly enjoying not having to sit in traffic every single day- and I’m enjoying even more the days that I can sleep in and eat a good breakfast!

One of my absolute favorite parts about spring is the glimpse of summer vacation you get with spring break. It's always something that I anticipate really badly and try to do something special for it so it really does feel like a little break. http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifThishttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif year I'm getting a lot of my friends together from high school that I don't really get to see all that much together and go skiing. By some sort of miracle, all of our spring breaks are on the same time this year, which never really happens.
I put myself in charge of finding everything for the trip and did some major research online to find the best prices on it. While I was online I found some info for Texas electricity and read through it some. I showed it to my roommates and we decided to switch over our energy plan to one on there to get a better deal.
We're going to rent out a cabin for our spring break ski trip, which I think is going to make it that much more fun.
Ballerina horror movie Black Swan
Guest post from: Steve Delaney
I never thought that I would go and see a ballerina horror movie because I'm not big on dance movies. Most of the time I think that movies like Step Up and High School Music are nightmarish for other reasons. But I heard that critics were loving it and those commercials for Black Swan looked kind of crazy that I had to go and see it. I wasn't entirely sure how the movie was still going to be though.
I went online to check out some reviews and order the tickets about a week or so for Black Swan and when I was doing that I came across teh website WildBlueDeals.com and looked around on it some. After that I decided to change over my intrnet access at home to the provider.
I'm glad that I went and saw the Black Swan horror movie because it was more of a psychological thriller with all kinds of little things that you saw but are designed to make you doubt if you saw them.
I am going to try to say that I am not going with any resolution this year because lets just face it , who actually keeps them? I know that I do not so I am going with a new approach and just taking things as they come along and not make any promises. So my resolution is no resolution!
Well Xmas is basically here and I am still actually wrapping most of my gifts that i have to put under the tree or to drop off at some friends and family homes. Could you believe that iIloved shopping last minute at the stores, the malls were so packed so I am not the only one obviously. Just pure chaos and you know what? I love it. Have a Merry Xmas.
Yes I am so happy, I have officially done with all my Xmas shopping, this is the first time in year that I am done the week before Christmas!! Ha and I am so happy man. I must have spent hundreds of dollars among my husband and the kids alone, not to mention that I still had to get things for others, oh man, can you say debt?
It amazes me that the amount of crap that I learn by just being in front of the pc. Dh asked me for help with some html code and guess what? I was able to do it from the top of my head and go to his pc and type the code, omg!!! He was shocked because a couple of years ago, I would have been asking him, funny how life is right?
Or should I say making money, I need to haul my behind and start saving for christmas and stuff like that, so many things to do so little time and before you know it, it will be time to start buying gifts and putting up decor, I really love it!
I swear I am going to get rid of my tv just so I would not have to watch any of it. I think that is a good thing, I can get into sports more instead of being lazy. I love to play the piano, if only I COULD play it. I will take lessons, so much to do. I wonder whats on right now?
Why is it that men do things that they think is okay, I hate my husbands friends and they always do the craziest things and funny thing is he thinks its okay, just being one of the guys, I dont want to be that wife. But I guess boys will do what boys do.
I have been really into some italian dishes and have been slaving over a hot stove making some of them. Tonight we had some cavetelli which is now one of my fave pastas! Its so nice and we like it with a bite, had it with some nice garlic sauce and of course we had some sausage and peppers, yum!
You know something, whenever I feel down, just thinking about the holidays and what we hae planned and who we are going to see, just makes me feel so much better. I love that we can feel good around the holidays and its everybody. Everything that the season means puts a smile to my face.
I swear that almost every single day, my kids want freshly squeezed OJ. I mean its insane because you need like a million oranges to make a cup! Well I do honor their wishes and do it for the anyways, here is what I have to go through every single morning:
At least its the kind that I can plug in as opposed to doing it by hand, could you imagine that?!
I have been ordering everything under the sun and I love it. I love getting the latest gadgets and food and just whatever my little heart desire. DH thinks that I am crazy and going to put us in the poor house, lol. I use my own money so whats the problem? He thinks that I might have an addiction, whatever.
We are in hard times these days and I am truly trying to not let it get to us. I have been doing my online stuff which really does supplement my income. Between surveys and working here and there online, it is making up for it big time. As far as gas prices go, since no traveling much, we dont really feel it but I know when and if we do go out, it is killer. Do what I do, take online surveys and focus groups and make extra cash, it wont hurt.
Now when you are thinking about where should you have a place to really inwind, somewhere with minimal distraction, I would want a room where I could just sit and have a good read. I remember growing up and my grandma would do the same only she had a room just for that. In most cases, I would find a room in the corner of a room such as a dining area or living room such as the pic.
Why and how can people fall for scams is beyond me, although I would not blame them because when one is desperate to make money, I am not even going to lie, I did fall for one of those envelop stuffing things, I sent money, I thought it was legit, I know know and have learnt my lesson. beware of scammers and anything asking you for money.
I have been helping out alot along with my family and taking care of our grandparents which especially my grandfather, is just not doing too well. The alzhiemer is getting worse and its just so sad to see my grandmother in tears because her husband is just not "there" anymore. We really do try and cope with her and let her know that its not her fault and there is nothing that she can really do.
