Ins & Outs

I've had this blog since early 2008 but haven't used it at all since then (& cleaned the old posts out to start over). Usually I just use the one on MySpace. But I decided this kind is a lot better & easier to work with. So now I am going to use this instead, lol. Starting out with a list of Ins/Outs...

Out
1) Unemployment. It is awful. I hate having so much time, feeling unproductive & even more, I hate being broke.
2) Debt. Enough said.
3) Insomnia. I love sleep because it eludes me. Insomnia is an annoying non-friend that just won’t go away.
4) No regular internet at home. It’s more difficult to surf or look up random stuff on my little phone.
5) Daylight Savings. The extra hour was nice but now it is dark so early. It is nearly dark most days by the time I get back from picking Richie up.
6) Refrigerator quitting. Usually the fridge problem is that the vent thingies from the freezer are dripping because the freezer doesn’t defrost properly. This time, the vent thingies were blocked up with ice all the way into where the fridge is. Unfortunately I found this out by notcing the couple day old new gallon of milk was spoiled. Luckily that was all that went bad & the freezer still work. Maintenance came & defrosted it (again) & is supposed to have ordered the part to fix it. Defrosting usually lasts at least a few weeks, & I will def be keeping an eye on it until the part is replaced.

Both Out & In
1) Summer end/Autumn begin
- I hate the cold, icky weather that can come with autumn.
+ But I like the pretty leaves, the autumn smells, & such.

In
1) The awesome wind & waves @ the pier at the end of September.
*See the photo album &/or video posted on Facebook.
2) Hershey’s Cookies n Crème giant bar. The nuggets were still the best, but the giant size bar comes close to being the same. And more places are carrying it!
3) Victoria Secret’s Berry Kiss lotion. So loving it still. Would use it a ton more if I wasn’t worried about running out & not being able to replace it.
4) Little Debbie’s Cherry & Cheese Danish. So so so good. Yummy stuff. There are also blueberry ones, but I haven't tried them yet.
5) Eggnog. It’s that time of year! I know it’s high in calories, but Holly Nog isn’t as bad (it’s actually eggnog flavored lowfat milk & it so similar).
6) Fall tv: House, HIMYM, South Park, Grey’s, Office.
7) Hair. Usually hair makes the both section, but this round it is feeling a bit more in than out, maybe because it might keep me warmer & I’ve been trying to do a little more with it.
8) Phone internet keeping me connected. I can check in on stuff & do some random looking up. Thank goodness for unlimited data usage.
9) Free cable. Still not disconnected, or added any new charges to my past due bill since July.
10) Conferences @ Richie’s center. I had one in early September & again on Richie’s birthday. He’s doing super well & is really smart. But the whole concept of talking about him going to Kindergarten, very possibly next fall, is a little scary-ish (because he is growing up so fast!).
11) Chelsea Lately. Love the show. Chelsea Handler is awesomely funny, love the roundtable discussions, & most of the guests she has on.
