Making it Better

I've been really worried about how I'm going to accomplish things this Christmas. We are so tight on money and I've been unstable on work lately. I'm sure things will work out fine, but I'm just not seeing it yet, so that worries me a lot.

It makes me think about all those that are worse off than I am and how they could be feeling right now. It's really sad knowing that so many still haven't come out of their hardships yet and there are so many being put in that same position everyday. I'm thinking this country needs to revise what holidays actually mean.

All Bets...

With things the way they are right now, making bets probably isn't quite ideal, but I enjoy taking a chance every now and then. I've thought about online sports betting occasionally, but I don't think I'm up enough on my teams to place a wager anyway.

I've never really been into sports, other than going to baseball games with my dad as a kid. He really liked football betting back then and sometimes I wish I knew how well he did. I'm sure he would have loved the convenience of how things work now, had he lived long enough to see the internet become what it is now.

A New Hobby

I've been thinking of a new craft to do, one that I haven't done before. I wish I was good at painting because it would be fun to have a customized Address Plaque for our house. I've tried my hand at painting but I'm one of those people that can't ever get what is in my head onto whatever I'm trying to create. I'll have to come up with something, I've been really bored lol.

Ouch!

I've been having really bad back pains lately, so bad that I'm constantly asking for help from my BF. I've been thinking about having laser treatment for back pain but right now I can't afford it. I'd LOVE to get something done but it probably won't happen in the near future. I'm not sure if it's my chair, the couch, or the bed but something we have isn't helping at all. It also could be stress induced because of the holidays and a host of other things. I'm hoping that this is only temporary or I'll have to be headed to the doctor soon.

Home Sweet Home

When we moved we received a couple of housewarming gifts that are now coming in handy. Normally I wouldn't have cared much for candles but with the weather cooling way down and the holidays coming up, the warmth and the smells are quite welcoming. We really didn't use candles when I lived in CA, but here I quickly realized that we needed a stash here because we have frequent power outages and things that happen. I wish we would have gotten a couple of other things, but it's the thought that counts.

Pan Am

I was quite skeptical when I heard they were coming out with a show about airline stewardesses, but I have to admit, I really like the show. There's just enough in the show to keep you watching and make each episode interesting. It makes you wonder if there were actually women who were spies on those planes back then. I'd imagine that there were people working for the government in any and all occupations, I never would have expected that. Hopefully this show stays on the air, it seems there aren't very many shows worth watching anymore but this season is full of them.

Playtime

When I was little my dad used to take me to work with him and it was so much fun. Every time we would go, the first place I would go to was this equipment testing room where they had all sorts of machines. Most of them were for grocery stores and they had the best barcode scanners. I would sit there and pretend that I was doing grocery checkout, it was a little girl's dream! Who knew that I'd go up to work in retail and actually use them as part of my job LOL. That was fun too! It's the little things that make us happy sometimes.
