There is nothing on tv today

Maybe because it's Sunday, but there is nothing at all on tv. We've been watching reruns of Cops all day. It's funny watching some of the things that people get arrested for. On one of the shows that I watched today, one of the suspects had one of those Blackhawk holsters on his hip. When the police asked where the gun was, he tried to act dumb. Until the cops came back and showed him where he had dumped it. It turns out that he had a rap sheet and wasn't allowed to have a gun. Needless to say, he went to jail.

At least baseball season is starting so there will be games on soon.

I borrowed my boyfriends headphones

I had better not forget to take these things with me at the end of the day. He uses the headphones to play his PSP game. Sometimes he uses it for the other game. I think it's a Nintendo DS. Anyway that keeps the sound from annoying other people (namely me).

He just moved into a new apartment and it's mostly older people in that building. He will play his games late into the night so he doesn't want to disturb them. Can you imagine waking up at 10pm and hearing "blip blip blip bloop"?!?! I told him to send me a text message so I don't leave the headphones at work.

I'll have to remember to slip mine into my bag tonight.

What do you mean I have to write a paper to graduate?

I knew you had to write a paper in order to get your Master's Degree but this is for a bachelor's. Since I'm going to school under my old program, I don't have to take a lot of the requirements that new students have to meet. For instance, I don't need a research practicum class which is a big deal in my major. My advisor and the department chair have decided that once I meet all of my requirements, they want me to write a paper in order for my graduation application to be approved.

I guess it's a good thing that I don't have to take some of those classes. But writing a paper is a nightmare for me. I can blog all day long, but writing a school paper is another matter. One of my classmates recommended a site where I can get help with my paper. They have sample research papers, term papers and book reports. It's not even about copying a paper, it's just to show you what other students have written to give you ideas with your paper. The site even discourages you copying a paper.

I can go to this site, sign up and look around to get ideas for my paper. They even make it easy to cancel the service once I'm done with school. Since I still need 4 classes and can only take 1 at a time, I have a while to use the service. If you're still in school or going back to school, sign up and get help with your papers. With over 100,000 papers on every topic, you're sure to find what you need.

I feel bad for my old coworker

We work for the same company but he works in my old department. He had a ton of work to do since they're short-staffed. I did mention that my old department isn't replacing me yet right? No, well they're not. They're going to try to hold out until August or September.

Not only does he have a lot to do, but one project that he's working on is starting today. He had the work but he couldn't do anything with it. Now he's swamped. Maybe I'll send him a email to cheer him up.

I wonder if my insurance covers weight loss

I know my insurance does cover weight loss if it's medically necessary. But what if it's just cosmetic? I'm overweight but I'm not obese. I don't know if surgery would be something for me to consider or not. If my insurance covers it, I would be more likely to get it done. Especially since lap-band surgery is adjustable and reversible. Somewhere that puts my comfort first is the kind of place for me.

Jokes

I will resume with the joke of the week shortly. I don't know if it will be this week or next week but I will try to incorporate it back into my blog. I've been extremely busy with my new job and I haven't had as much free time as I'm used to. Hopefully within the next week or so I will be back on the ball.

This market is driving me crazy

It's really hard to invest right now. You don't know whether stocks are going up or down. While that's usually the case, the swings are much larger now. With investment money now may be a good time to look into rare gold coins for your portfolio.

Gold is at an all-time high. There was an article in our local paper where people are getting over $1k per ounce of gold. People are taking in every scrap of gold that they have to get money and they're walking out of the stores with big checks. Gold and silver have always been hedges against inflation but now may be a better time than ever to invest. Monaco Rare Coin will help you invest in scarce coins. While a company like Monex could have you invest in bullion, coins or ingots.

I just wish I had invested in gold a few years ago. I would be sitting pretty right about now.

This was the most boring weekend

I didn't do anything this past weekend. All I did was sit in the house. On Saturday I did a little shopping. John had a interview Saturday morning and started his new job on Sunday so there was nothing planned. We did go out and buy food for work but that's about it. I think our next few months will be pretty laid back and boring.

Shopping for new furniture

John is moving into a new apartment soon. When he moved in with his ex-girlfriend he gave up all of his furniture. Now he's moving on Monday and he needs furniture. He needs everything from bedroom furniture to living room furniture. He also needs a new computer desk and chair. We were looking for beds and we found this website OvernightMattress.com/Real-Reviews while we were comparing costs.

We found out that we can buy a foam memory mattress online 2-3 times less than buying it in the store. This manufacturer just started selling their mattresses direct with free overnight shipping. We're really looking at this company so we can save money. Buying enough furniture to furnish a whole apartment is pretty expensive. And we really can't afford that right now.

I'm super busy lately

I've been going crazy lately. My job has me training multiple people which is not usually that bad. Except I still have to get my regular work done so I'm not getting everything done. By the time I go home, I'm just tired.

Then John and I have been going to Ohio a lot lately. Mostly just to have something to do. It's less than an hour away depending on where you go. Steubenville is about 45 minutes and Cleveland is about 2 1/2 hours away. I don't think I'll be doing any more travelling anytime soon though. I have to put out a ton of money for my car.
