Wrong Place, All the Time

You know, I think I just live in the wrong state. I keep hearing from my friends how easy or how much cheaper things are in other places in the country and how they can all afford to at least go see a doctor. Here I sit with no insurance, not even the crummy state/government plan because we got kicked off over a small misunderstanding, when we could be going with no problems some where else. It almost makes me want to move out of here. I know then we'd probably be able to afford some kind of something since even health insurance in NC is cheaper than it is here. Figures I would be in the wrong place for what we need.

Open Wide

I haven't been to a dentist in YEARS and it kinda makes me wonder what's going on in there. Of course this is because I haven't had insurance in forever for dental so don't start telling me I need to go. (LOL) One of my friends has a brother in TX and boy is he going through it. he needs to get all kinds of things done since he hadn't been able to go in forever either. Since he doesn't have insurance it makes me wonder how much dental implants Plano cost, maybe I'll be heading out there to get some eventually too. LOL!

Food...the Foe

I've been up and down with my weight so badly since I had dd it's not even funny. I'm so tired of eating and spending the little bit of money that we have on food that it drives me crazy. The worst part is that I just bought a new soap and every time I use it I want a cherry icee because that's what it smells like! I love fruit smelling soaps but this one is just a little too good. LOL I think I'm going to end up not eating for a while...it's most likely the fattening from the holidays talking but really, I can't even think about food anymore without getting ill. Maybe this is a good thing...?

I'm Old...

My son is going to be 14 in a week! I cannot believe how fast time has flown....I feel ancient. Okay, I know I'm not but that doesn't stop me from feeling like it. LOL I couldn't afford anything I really wanted to get him for Christmas so I'm hauling it to try and get something that I consider decent for his birthday. I'm not sure what I want to shoot for since I know he'll be happy with anything even remotely bigger than what he got for Christmas. I'd LOVE to get him a netbook or samsung led hdtv because the hand-me-down tv he's using now really stinks and is gigantically huge for his little room. Hopefully I can get him at least one of those but I'm really running out of time.

New Career?

A few years back I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do with myself and came up pretty much with nothing. Honestly there aren't many careers out there that interest me where I wouldn't have to spend another 10 years in school. However, I did lean more towards something in the medical field since that's an area that won't ever really run out of positions. I contemplated taking medical coding training courses or something so that eventually I could work from home but never really got into it. There aren't any schools nearby that have that and I was lazy about looking into online courses. It's still always an option though and I know I would be okay doing it. As for now I'm happy with what I'm doing even if it's not the "cash cow" everyone's always looking for.

Here's to a New Year!

I cannot wait for next week to come so I can kiss 2009's horrible mess goodbye! I know it's going to be a better year for sure and I'm going to do everything I can to make sure it stays that way.

The holiday was nice here as busy as it was leading up to it. We had about 40 people here on Christmas Eve and got to sit and do nothing on Christmas Day. It was great and what would be even better is if I could take another week off so I could just stay in bed and recoup. LOL Oh well, we can't have it all...

Too Sanitary?

DH keeps bugging me and I totally wish he would knock it off. He's been looking at air filters for his car and then he starts talking about getting a thing for the house to keep the dust and other icky things in the air down. I don't mind at all but sometimes i wonder that if you over purify everything that you may become vulnerable to a lot more than before because of the lack of exposure. The dust and stuff is bad though and with hardwood floors it just lfies around all over the place.

Regrets?

While cleaning I came across my so called friend's wedding invitation. I feel bad for not going but I think we can pretty much kiss that freindship goodbye. Looking at it again made me wonder where they got those wedding invitations...I would have never thought there would be a large selection of Halloween invitations but then again, I guess so. They were really nice at least but the printing could have been done a lot better. I'm guessing that he did a lot of that stuff. LOL

Personal Touch

My parents are thinking about re-tiling the bathroom...I don't blame them, it's an ugly salmon pink and lots of them are already cracked. Not to mention the grout is pretty much gone which makes cleaning a total pain. My mom is all happy knowing something is going to happen soon as she shops for tiles and picks all kinds of pictures out of magazines. I would be too, this is the first kind of personalization they've done besides painting the whole house WHITE. :o?

COLD!

OMG is it FREEZING here! Okay yeah, I'm where it's supposed to be moderate and it isn't snowing but it's cold enough okay? LOL! I haven't been feeling well lately and it just makes the pain a whole lot worse. I hope I don't have anything major, it would totally suck if I had some crazy mutation of the swine flu!
