misc ramblings

Post by: Chris on November 30th, 2007 | File Under Every Day Things

Oh Gosh I am so bored ! I finished my month end reports and now I have absolutely nothing to do here (at work).

So. I started reading others blogs, commenting, roving around and around. And I seem to notice that not every blogger comments on thier comments. Does this make sense ? Well, I think that when someone takes the time to comment on a post, the blog owner should comment back when applicable. I guess its just a peave of mine, and I must admit, I have spaced out a few comments myself, but not like all the time! I wonder if the readers come back to the blogs they commented on when the owner doesnt reply back…. I know I dont !

Plus, I am having a hard time commenting on blogs when they require a google id/password. I will have to learn more about this one. Google is not my fav these days, so why should I sign up w/them?!

Well thats all I have for now. I dont seem to have much in my head right now, being Friday Afternoon ‘n all.

Toys

Post by: Chris on November 30th, 2007 | File Under Every Day Things

As you know, I really love my job. I will be here 20 years next October. *heavy sigh*. Anyways, the person that sits next to me celebrated his 20 years this month. We get to choose a gift. They have jewelry, clocks, binoculars, flashlights, watches, sunglasses, and other misc way cool stuff. He chose a Telescope. It is so cool! They delivered to work and we all got to see it. Once it is set up, alleigned, or whatever you call it, its real easy to find stars and planets. He told me all he had to do was type in what he wants to find, and it automaticly finds the star, planet or constellation in the sky for you ! Is that easy or what!

I wonder what my choices will be next year, heeheehee.

C.O.H. 2

Post by: Chris on November 29th, 2007 | File Under Scouts

Well. As I was saying, yesterdays Court of Honor was interesting. Here is a pic of our leaders….. leaders-2007.JPG….its not that great of a pic, buts its the best I can do here at work !

My son worked SO fetchin’ hard this year to get where he is; Star Rank. Plus, he went camping 10 out of 12 months this year w/the troop. One was a snow campout too, in like 10 feet of snow! in a tent ! Only 3 other boys did that in the entire Troop. BUT! ! ! get this, they awarded that honor to 5 boys. I am soooo pissed. They counted a extra leadership training in November as a ‘make-up’ camp. Which ticks me off! The honor is for going 10 MONTHS! ! ! and and not 10 TIMES ! ! ! Sure, its easy to camp 10 times a year, but 10 MONTHS ! ! ! errrrr.

I think this is buggin me more than my son. I almost had it out with the ScoutMaster last night, about this and a couple other issues. I am still fummin’ mad, but have calmed down a lot.

2008 will be different. Right now I just dont care anymore. The slackers can be slackers and pay for it later. NOT a good thing to teach ones child, how to get away w/getting an award that you did not deserve. I have such a great kiddo, he understands, but still ! ! ! errrrrrr. the-troop-2007.JPG

C.O.H 1

Post by: Chris on November 29th, 2007 | File Under Every Day Things, Weight Watching

Well we had our Court Of Honor last night w/the Scouts.

Interesting to say the least.

We have One ScoutMaster and Four Assistant ScoutLeaders. Let me tell you, these guys look like they are 10 months pregnant, with Twins ! I have no idea how they tie their shoes. What amazes me so much, is that these Men have to be roll models for the kids. How can a person who is at least 100 pounds overweight, be a healthy roll model !?!?!

Since I am such a crazy nutcase when it comes to this issue I often wonder how I can suggest a visit to lap band surgeon. One of the Assistant Leaders is just the most wonderful person in the world, so dear to my heart. I often worry about him. I am so angry and then on the other hand, so sad too.

Work

Post by: Chris on November 28th, 2007 | File Under Weight Watching

Oh. My. Gosh.

I actually have to work to day here at work ! No fun. I have so much stuff to do as its the end of the Month and I have to have my reports done. ugh. But I do really love my job and am very happy here.

As I have mentioned before, they have a fitness center here at work. TreadMills, Stationary Bikes, Weights, a personal trainer and the works! Do I ever use those things? HA! No. I do go there cuz they have a nice scale tho. and I do participate in the many fitness incentives and programs they have. Anyways, to make a long story short… I need to loose 4 lbs in order to get my incentive of $100. If I maintain my weight from way back in January, and lower my BF by like 1%, then I will get a Gift Card. I have until Tuesday Dec 11th. I have been doing real good the past 3 days and have lost almost 3 lbs aready, but these last 4 lbs are the worst. No more chocolate for me. boo hoo. and I just bought some Herseys Kisses to. I can eat 9 of them and thats 5 WW points (250 calories) So if I do good and have extra points at the end of the day, I get to treat myself w/the Kisses. Yum.
But I have been cutting out my Milk and eating Kisses instead! I have to stop doing that. Milk is better than Chocolate. and it makes me more full too.

I need to focus focus focus. We have our Scouts Court of Honor tonight as well. They are serving Juice. And Cookies. I Love Cookies ! ! !

Focus Focus Focus

Snow !

Post by: Chris on November 27th, 2007 | File Under Every Day Things

It is finally snowing out side and I am so excited ! I love the snow; snow means Christmas is just around the corner. And it means that I only have 1 paycheck left until then. I have only purchased 2 presents so far. Ugh. I need to get on the ball. I have been looking around for some type of short term loan and have found that they have on line pay day loans. Its really great because I don’t have to go anywhere and talk to anyone. I do everything on line; I even hate the telephones, so this loan just might work out for me! Its short term, I pick the amount, and they will do a direct deposit into my bank account. Wow. Easy. Christmas just might work out better than I thought this year, less stress, more relaxation and more happiness. Cool.

PayPerPost

Post by: Chris on November 26th, 2007 | File Under Every Day Things

Today is becoming a wonderful Monday. Usually I dread Mondays, but today I got to work, signed in, and of course I check my personal emails before I even start work, and to my delight, there was an approval from payperpost to start posting with them. I am so excited! I have heard so many good words about them since I started this Blog. I first heard about them from my sisters Blog, and she says they are the best. What I like is the option to sign into ones account and choose which opportunities best fit me, choose when I want to write, and choose how many I want to do. I signed up for payperpost, well of course for the money opportunities, but also to learn about new products and companies as I am more an On Line consumer that anything else. I really hate shopping in person, out it the cold or hot weather. I do all my stuff On Line now. It’s the only way to go.

Hmmm, now that I am ‘offical’ sorta speak, what to do w/the money ? heeheehee. I have some ideas….but I don’t want to count my chickens before they hatch either. It IS Christmas time and I will be getting presents for the family and friends in my life. I sure better get my sister a good one! I have also become friends with Bloggers all over the world. It’s so great! In fact one just tagged me for a meme. I better get to it; I can go on forever sometimes and I have learned that that is not always a good thing in the Blogging community. Wee Hee !
