That is life....

...and this is Walgreens. Yes, every single time somebody says "That's life", I remember the silly Walgreens commercial. Sad thing? I don't watch TV hardly EVER! Is that commercial also on the radio? *shrugs* I don't recall.

So why am I saying "that's life"? Few reasons. I take this blog to vent, sorry if it gets old =P Mmmm..and btw, I'll probably still post here every once in a while, even if I do not have to post for English class anymore. I'll tell my friends about it so they can come read it. Or maybe not. Maybe this can almost be like a clean version of my diary. I can talk about them and they would never know!

Alright, that's a bit mean...so I'll try to refrain from that. I'm at my friend's house...and her keyboard sucks. I'm trying to fix typos as I go along, but hitting the 'backspace' key every few letters is quite annoying!

I have a tendency to get side-tracked. "That's life." I have been trying to save up for two big things for my house. #1-removing a dead tree in my side yard that is right next to my neighbor's fence. There was another one, a taller one, that was present when I bought my house, but it fell after a few months...onto their fence and part of their roof >.> Insurance covered it, so it was alright. There is another dead tree...well the tree was dead, but there was wisteria that had wound up and around the bark, so it was quite sturdy. Until my neighbor had her yard guys kill my wisteria. So now it's ALL dead. After we had the tons of rain, the bark is falling apart, and leaning against her fence. I broke off some of it today, but I need to get my stump removal guy over to get rid of the eyesore. Problem is...every time I get the money saved up, I have to spend the money elsewhere. This time it was my cats getting sick. One of the little suckers escaped outside, got sick, came back inside, and spread the kitty flu. Oh joy. Vet visits are GREAT!

#2 savings fund for my house: Save for heater to get fixed! When I first bought my house I did not get home...can't remember the name atm (home owner's?), but I didn't get the 'special' insurance that covers the a/c and heater. I didn't know to get it. When I told everyone that I knew that I was shopping for insurance for my house, nobody told me to make sure about this. I didn't think to research it online...but I guess I should have. Anywhos...that's a prob to save up for as well. -.- BUT...I think I'm to the point where I can get it done, and that makes me happy.

I don't mind the cold that much, and I have a little electric heater...but I feel kind of sorry for my kitties when it gets really cold. Yes, they have fur...but even their little ears get cold! They aren't allowed in my bedroom where the 'lectric heater is. My kitties like to get into stuff...which is not rare for a cat, right?

SO! That's my life right now. That and I have a crush on a guy and I'm totally clueless how to bring it up. It's not on a friend, but not on a complete stranger. He is a man I see every few days at my work. I'm so sad =P

Have a great weekend! And hope everyone had a fantabulous Friday the 13th!

Already November?

I am pretty sure I mentioned this somewhere in a blog before...but time REALLY does fly! The first week of November is passing already. Not that I mind too terribly much...but I'll be 24 in little less than a month. Yea yea, not old at all, i know! But...if months keep whizzing by this fast, I'll be 40 in no time. THAT...is intimidating. I don't think 40 is old, that's not even halfway through life yet! To just THINK of where I may be at 40? Gives me the heebeejeebies (I'm sure I spelled that wrong).

On a happier note! I got a bonus yesterday from my first job! Now I can get my heater fixed in me house and get some bills out of the way. Everyone in the company was happy, of course. I'm glad we got one. Not because it helped me out, but because it is helping others out. At least two people at my work, their spouses have lost their jobs and are having difficulty in getting another one that is steady. Two others have medical bills out the whazoo. I'm glad that now everybody will be able to catch up, even if it's just for now.

The holidays are coming up! And I'm off at my first job, but not my second one...so I'm pretty sure I'll end up working on Thanksgiving..and probably Christmas. *shrugs* My family won't mind. =P There IS always next year!
