Chicken Alfredo, Not Just Mac n' Cheese

I wish I didn't like food so much. Some people can just eat whatever just to fill themselves up. But, no I have to want a gourmet meal every night. Today I'm going to get alfredo sauce to eat with already made chicken. Plus I already have the noodles and parmasean cheese. This grocery shopping all at one time is really working out.

Whyyyyyyyyyyyy?!!!

Have you ever missed out on a financial opportunity that was so good and easy to do but because you missed a phone call or email it went to someone else? That happened to me and I'm so annoyed at myself about it. I guess it wasn't meant to be.

Hollywood Bus Stops

I got off work and was waiting at the bus stop at 11:30 at night and a guy asks if the bus will take him to the greyhound which I don't know so I look up on my phone where the greyhound is. So as I'm doing this he's telling me how he had just gotten out of jail today after 4 years for threatening terrorism andthen something about domestic abuse. But, he did add that it didn't make him a bad person. Positive thinking, everyone can benefit from it!

My work changed my schedule last minute by leaving me a message. I didn't get the message because they call from an unknow number which is extremely annoying since telemarketers call from an unknown number. Then they call when I'm supposed to be in and when I say I never got the message about this SECOND schedule change they ask if I'm sure. Why would I intentionally miss 2 hours of work?

Teeth

My tooth didn't hurt before I got a cavity filled in it, but, now I'm constantly in pain. They better fix it for free or else I'm gonna freak out. Plus I'm sick of it hurting constantly.

Holiday Shoplifting!

A woman that was shopping at my store got arrested today. She had her baby with her too. The way she acted about it was so strange too, not ashamed, lying, talking like she was just going to appologize. The loss prevention officer approached her outside and she acually introduced herself to him and shook his hand! I guess she was trying to be charming to get out of it but, it was just very strange! She also looked like a girl next door. So it added to the wierdness of it!

It's Not My Problem

The only types of companies that don't adopt the "its not my problem philosophy" are retail stores. You can bring a smashed, used completly, 2 year old product and get a refund from a retail store, or buy and return weekly and clearly abuse the system and be completely fine. But, any other company would be like your cars not fixed? Well it must be a different problem. You are a day late because you had an emergency, its not my problem is the answer they would give without words by giving you a $30 late fee.

X-Press Bus

it stinks when you wait and wait for the bus and then the one that ends up coming is the non express bus. Then you have a difficult decision to make. Do you risk waiting for the express bus that's usually just a little behind the regular one or do you go with the one that's there? The non express is horrible because it stops at every single street possible. But, its worse when you're at an unfamiliar bus stop and you don't know if any buses are coming!

Overdue Dilema

I was renting magazines from the library and ended up owing $45. I don't understand how 6 overdue magazines that cost less than $4.00 can end up costing $45. I would have been better off just buying them.

We Stole A Shopping Cart.

My boyfriend and I have never been a totally normal couple. We just did our first joint shopping excersion tonight in over five years. We are excited to save money, so we are going to do it every week. But, right now the car is broken so we just wheeled the cart all the way hme and into our kitchen. We think outside the box.

It Be Chilly

It's annoying because my house is really cold but, I don't have a way of heating it. How do you not have a heat option in your apartment building?

Holiday Shopping

Certain people are much harder to shop for than others. My parents are the most difficult because they never want anything except for gift cards. Then there's my boyfriend who only ever wants expensive electronic type things. I am also difficult to shop fo because I'm very picky so when people try and pick out something, a lot of times it's something I would never like or be interested in. If someone tells you they want a gift card, it may mean that you're a shitty gift giver and you might be better off just doing what they ask!!!

What is it about pudgy, white 40 something balding men that makes them most likely to be child molesters, stalkers or serial killers?

How Is It That I Am So Unlucky?

A couple of things, so my car is broken and I haven't fixed it yet because first off, it's a lot of money. Second off, I was already horribly stressed about paying for my registration and also get something fixed so I can pass my smog check. So not exactly sure how to handle that. Also, my computer broke. I don't quite understand how it is possible that every month there is a new paralyzing expense that I couldn't have even imagined. Plus my car breaks every 6 months so I may not even fix it this time.

People Sellin' their eggs for money!

This girl at work sold her eggs for $10,000 for each donation!!! If I knew for a fact that the people wouldn't get pregnant I would totally do it!! Shit, this girl did it 3 times! Thirty grand could buy me a lot of stuff but, I would not be OK knowing I had a kid out there somewhere in any way!!! But, damn that would be awesome!

War

War is something nobody should have to see or go through. If you have to go to war you will die either physically or mentally. I feel so sad that people actually have to go through that.

Can The Buses Run More Often Mr. Mayor?

I had to wait for almost an hour just to get on a bus. The bus system in LA is rediculous. Every large city in the uS has great transportation except for this lame city. Every time I have to take the bus for some reason I get so annoyed. I have to get $700 together in order to get my car to drive and to be legal doing it. If the transportation system was better I would just say forget it. But its not so I have to fix it.

Taking The Bus Sucks!

It takes so much longer to get everywhere when you're taking the bus!!! Plus you have to get off one bus to get on another bus so it costs double! It cost me 5 dollars just to get to work and back! Plus you have all the weird drama that's going on all around you. Oh well. It'll do for now.

Black Friday

I'm not going to gripe about anything too serious because I'm supposed to give thanks for Thanksgiving, but, are you kidding me? People started lining up at noon today for Black Friday. You have to be out of your mind! For the sale things, you have to be one of the first 20 people otherwise they would all sell out so you're going through the madness for things that are the exact same sale for weeks! So you gave up dinner with your family to go and wait in line overnight. Interesting choice people!

Grocery Budet!

My car is broken again so since I don't have money to fix it, it has forced my boyfriend and I to start budgeting groceries. Something apparently we should have started doing years ago considering we figured out that we could save up to $80 a week EACH! We never go in on groceries together so we spend more money on single person items and go to the store every day! We are very excited about being able to pay our bills.
