you've got mail

The highlights of my days sometimes are having the mail handed to me by the husband. Yeah, my life is so busy, lol. He hands me anything that comes with my name in it and those that are in his name that he knows are bills. I do keep the accounts in this household because the husband refuses to do it anymore. He claims the deed stresses him out so I took over. Anyway, for some reason, I get a lot of stuff in the mail. Credit card and payday advance offers are always present. I don't even earn that much on whatever I am doing to earn money and that has baffled some people. I was told by the husband that my credit score must be good for the companies to send me offers. I don't know if it is but I know it has not been long since I establish credit history. Which means that my credit record should not be that good when it comes to longevity. I don't really know. It is kinda nice to get offers in the mail though regardless of whether or not I avail of them. At least I get something :)

song download

A few days ago, I had the notion to buy mp3 songs online. I thought to buy my favorite songs and since they are from various artists, the best move to do is download the songs and put them in a CD. Which is what I did. I downloaded 13 songs in all, put them in a cd for at home use and another cd for the car. Both CDs work in the computers and the DVD player but when popped in the car cd player neither worked. I have searched and read about what could have been the problem and I came up with all kinds of reasons and solutions but none worked so far. Nada! I was so disappointed because I really would like to have a copy of the songs in the car for when I want to hear sappy love songs while driving down the road. The husband was no help, he laughed at me. He probably was happy that the CDs did not work because he commented about how sad the songs were. He could not understand why I like sad songs but it is hard to explain so I don't even try, lol. I still have to figure out a way to make the cd work in the car but I do have to buy more cd-r because I have used everything we have here at home. The odd thing is, a cd plays in the car player if there is only one song in it. Put two songs, and nothing. I converted the songs to wav files from mp3, hoping that it will work, after reading that mp3's are compressed files. Maybe if the files are not compressed the cd will play. I will know soon.

an early start

We are up early today because the little girl woke up at five. I know it is too early for anybody to be up especially since I don't work but I have to stay with her in the living room. I just don't feel it is right to let her stay alone when I could be up with her even if it is two hours earlier than our wake up time. She has been waking up earlier than usual for some reason. I am hoping this is just a phase she will grow out of soon. I let her watch cartoons while I am online updating my blogs. I have plenty of time to do that I might just be able to read about the best apidexin reviews if I want to. And while I am doing this post, the little man woke up and is already asking if he can get in the computer. I am afraid this is going to be a long day. I might as well get ready for it. Sigh!

problem loading page

Something is going on with Yahoo mail. That or there is something wrong with my computer. My problem is my emails. They work good when I open them and navigate through them but when I sign out, it displays an error page. Since I have tried not to clear cookies and history every time I close a window, when I get back on Yahoo I am still logged in. I don't like that. I am paranoid so I want my accounts closed and signed out even if I am the only person who use my computer. But I cannot do that without my pressure going up anymore. I hope that it will get fixed soon if it is something that needs to be fixed. I do hope my computer is not the problem. What I do when I get tired of waiting for the page to load and sign me out of my account is that I check on the ads so I will not get annoyed waiting. I like the ads where it shows a woman slim down from being obese. Like it is that easy to do. If that was true then a lot of people will be happy, including me. Imagine if we all slim down in a snap, there will be nobody interested on those links that says click here for appetite suppressants, because nobody will need it. But it is not that easy. We live in a real world with very real food and very real appetites. So work we must if we want to slim down. And I am getting too far off from my main purpose for this post, lol. Anyway, like I said, I hope the problems I encounter from Yahoo will disappear soon so I can open and sign out from my emails without any incident.

easier life

After finishing Graduate school I assumed my life would become easier. However, I failed to consider all the things I did not know about entering society. Things like finding a job, paying taxes, deciding on a place to live, and filing through a stack of bills each month. My student loan payments are becoming due and I am conditioned to just wait for my parents to ask if I need any money but I do not see that happening anytime soon. Especially since the last conversation I had with my dad ended with him frankly stating that I needed to figure life out for myself and that this period of my life was what becoming a man was all about. One bright spot during the last couple months came when my uncle sent me this link www.TexasElectricityProviders.com and told me about the benefits of fixed energy costs. This was a concept I had never considered and it has made my life a lot easier. Now, I must figure out what to do with this stack of bills.

whatever helps

It is bad enough when a person gets sick, what is worse is when he gets diagnosed with two different medical conditions. Awful, isn't it? Doctors and hospitals have evolved through the years though and a lot of medical conditions can be treated if found in early stages. There are such things as dual diagnosis treatment that help a patient get a better chance at fighting whatever are ailing him. Of course it is a person's hope that he does not get sick but we are humans, we do get sick at some point in our lives. To know that there are solutions and cure for certain medical conditions give a person hope to keep on fighting and living. A positive outlook in life helps too.

a present

A couple weeks ago, I bought a new Coach bag. I don't know what got into me but I was on the Coach website browsing at handbags (not the first time anyway) when I just had the compulsion to buy one for myself. I told the husband I want a Coach bag and to my surprise he said yes. I did not buy the bag that night, I did the next day. I had to make sure I buy what I like and like what I buy. It had to be that way because it was my first time buying an expensive handbag (I always buy bags on clearance) and even though I can return it I want to avoid it as much as possible. So I bought a satchel and I love it. It was actually one of the cheapest bags available on their site that I like so much. The size is just right and the color is lovely. I would have loved to buy a pink bag but the husband said it does not look like a mommy bag, whatever that look is. So I went for gold and brown that I also like. We both like the bag and when I told him I want another bigger Coach bag he said to go ahead and order it. Couldn't I get any luckier than that? Lol. I told him though that I will have to buy the next bag on an outlet store so I can look and touch and choose really well. As fun as it is shopping online, nothing beats shopping on real time. I already have the address to the store I want to go, waiting for me to pay them a visit. That is if I don't change my mind and buy an LV bag (which the husband already approved).

a new handbag

One of my friends bought a very expensive handbag from Louis Vuitton. I told the husband about it and he said I can have one if I want it. That really surprised me since he knows how expensive one bag costs, and that is excluding taxes. He said I did not get a Christmas and birthday present last year so I can have a bag of my choice and charge it to him. I know I should but I am having second thoughts. I have not bought it and here I am thinking what if somebody steals the bag? It is not like I can get it back or anything. I can probably get insurance on it but who knows how it works? I know I am being paranoid but I am talking about a lot of money on a single purchase here. And we are not swimming on money, he just wants me to get something I really want to make me happy. It had been days since he told me I can buy an original LV bag but I am still not doing it. I am still waiting for another sign then if it happens I will just have to close my eyes and buy the bag hoping I will be able to keep it safe. For now, I am happy with a purse I bought from the mall on clearance. It is not expensive but I love it!

operation clean up

Days after my previous post, I finally got better. My throat is better and I am not coughing anymore. I still have a bit of a congestion but it is not so bad as last time. I am actually back to being myself and I am so happy with that. Anyway, I have been cleaning the house for days now. I am doing it a room at a time. Since there are several rooms in this house it is taking me longer but I am making sure every corner is clean from dust and dirt. I already did the bedroom and the dining room. Next will be the living room, the bathroom, the upstairs room, the bathroom, the laundry room, and the closets. I clean the kitchen every other day so it is pretty decent. The closets will need to be cleaned and organized because no matter how I try to keep it organized, the husband loses his things in there all the time. I don't know why his silver cufflinks were not where they were supposed to be and why his extra belt is not hanged when I am pretty sure it was. I know at the rate I am going with this cleaning that the rooms I have cleaned first will be dirty by the time I finished with the whole house. But I am taking my time, there is no rush. We do not get visitors and I do have kids to take care of (one of which always have to make a mess or his day will not be complete) so cleaning takes a back seat all the time. I don't let it get so bad here though or else I am sure I will hear from the boss :) Besides, I like it clean in the house so the kids will not get sick.
