Meet My New Baby Posted May 10, 2008 @ 6:29 pm 24 Comments Uh-oh, I gots me another toy - a Sidekick 2. Although others want to joke my "ancient" SK2, I still think it is better than the SK3, so I'm happy with it Don't act like you're not jealous. Uhhh new layout (I was getting bored pretty fast). Also, I'm taking another different route with my blog. I'm tired of everyone and their grandma doing the beauty/fashion blogs. I mean, it was great in the beginning, but that is ALL I see and the same shit gets old. When you start seeing OMGEEE lyyke try this new pink lipgloss that you already read from 4270382834234 other beauty blogs, it gets irritating. I still love visiting some of the originals, but I refuse to stumble upon the newer ones. UGHH! Todd and I went to a marine science museum with a friend, which was a complete waste of time. I spent $24 to get in, so we got our money back. I normally never complain nor ask for my money back, but this place was ridiculous. There was a bunch of construction going on, almost everything was "down" or broken, and we came all the way there to see an Albino Alligator, only to walk 5-6 miles in the heat to find it closed down. Seriously, people need to be warned or the place needs to be on a temporary hiatus. I couldn't believe how disrespectful they were toward us, but I'm assuming it is because a lot of people asked for their money back, judging from the customer service line. Shopping isn't a hobby, it's a sport! Posted May 3, 2008 @ 7:04 pm 42 Comments It has been great to have a little extra money, especially before I start saving hardcore for the next 4 months. Aside from getting my hair touched up, I forced Todd to go shopping with me in exchange to see Iron Man (which was really good). It felt nice to actually buy myself something, instead of living paycheck to paycheck. The best part is the fact that I love where I work and it almost feels like I get paid too much for what I love doing. They have noticed I've taken the initiative to learn and how well I've been doing, which means I might have a bright future in this company. I feel I need to warn everyone about freecreditreport.com (I refuse to link those bastards) and their horrible ways. DO NOT SIGN UP WITH THEM! They will SCAM YOU. I merely signed up just for ONE report and I found out, without my consist nor knowledge, that they had taken money from my account. I immediately called their "customer service" line and let them have it BIG time. I told them to cancel my account and I then phoned my bank to notify me of any other suspicious transactions from their shitty company. It isn't right for them to charge with such a misleading name and go against our right as Americans to view our credit report free of charge once a year. I googled their site and came up with pages and pages of scam warnings from other victims. I've also been told that they are under investigation by many organizations, including the FBI.

Our First Apartment Posted April 26, 2008 @ 12:24 pm 50 Comments I can't believe it! This morning, Todd and I signed our first apartment lease I'm still in shock; it hasn't really set in yet. Of course, we didn't jump right into it (we're not like most couples) and we made a list of our finances and what x amount of money we need in order to stay afloat. It'll, no doubt, be a rough journey, but I know we can make it. Everyone starts somewhere, so we can't expect to be living the high life right away. Once school starts, things will officially be on track. If necessary, I will pick up waitressing until school starts up. We're prepared to be eating rice and beans for the next few months The community is great and the best part is the 24 hour fitness center (it's free, obviously). Also, it is literally right next door to my job (can we say no more gas money down the drain on my end?) and the beach is 4 miles away! I can't wait to take pictures once we're settled in! I personally don't like the fact that we'll be living in sin, however, considering the circumstances, I really have no choice (MY PERSONAL OPINION about myself, not for others. In no way do I look down on anyone who is living in sin. I just personally don't believe in it for MYSELF). It isn't like we did this based on our own wants, plus we've already set our wedding date (this early Fall). I just can't believe this is all happening. It is exciting, yet I'm cautious. The move-in date is May 31st, so we better get on the packing and collecting furniture. Content Management Powered by CuteNews
