Deer season starts tomorrow

In Pittsburgh deer hunting is really big. I mean real big. I know several people from my last job that go deer hunting. They put on their camo clothes and go live in the woods for days at a time trying to get a deer. Yeah I said days. I couldn't believe it when they first started describing it. I didn't know it was that serious.

So what do you get the deer hunter in your life for Christmas? How about a Nikon BDC Slam Hunter's Package? The package includes:

-ProStaff 3-9x40 Riflescope with BDC Reticle
-ProStaff Laser Rangefinder
-Silent Technology Rangefinder Case
-Mastering a Long-range shot with BDC DVD
-$50 NikonProGear Gift Card

and it's over $140 off buying the items separately. If that's not in your plans, they have other great Nikon products that you can get. If the person in your life is a serious as the people here in Pittsburgh are, they will absolutely love this gift.

Blog stalkers

What's with people man? They are some seriously disturbed people out there. They have nothing better to do than follow people around on their blog and harrass them. It's not happening to me but it's happening to several people that I know.

And then people wonder why all of the good bloggers stop blogging.

I wonder what my inspection holds

I have to take my car in to be inspected soon. The inspection is already almost a month overdue and I can't push it back any longer. I'm almost afraid of what they're going to tell me that I need. I'm taking the car to a large auto parts place. That way no matter what I need, they should have it in stock. Even if it's yamaha motorcycle parts, headlights or brakes. I think I need front brakes on my car and I know that's going to set me back a pretty penny.

That's why I always shop at super centers. One stop shopping works for me.

It's already Thanksgiving

Can you believe it? It's only 2 days away. I don't have any plans. I don't have any more vacation days left so I can't go home and I don't have anything else to do. I probably won't go out so I have to make sure I have enough food in the house.

This will be one boring holiday for me.

I'm thinking of travelling for a football game

It's crazy that I waited until the middle of winter to decide that I want to visit other places. My team doesn't play some of the teams that I want to see but it doesn't make me want to visit any less.

I have several places that I want to see. San Diego, maybe Dallas and Denver. It's crazy to think about going to Denver in the middle of the winter. Besides checking out some of the great Denver Restaurants that are out there, I can check out their multiple sports teams. They have all 4 major sports even though this is the baseball off-season. I could kill two birds with one stone and check out both a football and basketball game.

That's a major factor in whatever city I choose to live in. Denver is also one of the most health conscious cities in the country. Their citizens are known for both their inner and outer beauty. And the best part is that they have a bunch of fashion houses and boutiques to shop to enhance that beauty. That is so up my alley.

I guess I need to start planning.

I need to do some blog maintenance

Not just on this blog but on all of my blogs. There are widgets and ads that I have up that are non-performing. I didn't want my sidebars to be bare but it's really ridiculous to have them there. There are also some posts that I need to clean up. Take some links out, add pictures, reduce the size of pictures and stuff like that.

It shouldn't take me too long to do. My blog is not in that bad of shape.

I haven't been writing lately

I haven't written at all lately. I was supposed to do NaNoWriMo but then I got a two big assignments from school which kept pushing my plans back. Now I have a very large paper due in 2 weeks. I decided not to do the writing plan this year.

I haven't written my short story either. I plan on starting it again within the next couple of weeks. I have a few ideas but I need to put them on paper. Hopefully soon I will start writing again.

My back is killing me

I have bad posture so my back is always hurting me. I try to stretch it out while I'm at work but that only provides temporary relief. One of my friends suggested that I check out allegromedical.com. She said that I could find a wedge pillow that would support my back for a really good price. They sell all kinds of things there too. Things like outdoor gear, maternity and/or baby stuff and that's in addition to their regular health care products.

I'm glad she recommended the site. I need to check it out and see what I can find. Especially since they're offering discounts or specials to anyone who signs up for their ecatalog. I am so there.

I still need to read for school

I have a book that I was supposed to start last week. I haven't even begun to read that book. This weekend I have to read 10 chapters instead of 5. It's not a problem as long as it's a good book. If it's boring I'll have a hard time getting through it.

Just another reason for me to stop procrastinating.

Looking ahead to a graduate degree

I haven't even finished my undergraduate degree and I'm seriously considering a graduate degree now. I work in accounting but we work very closely with our legal department. That was what I originally wanted to major in when I first started school. My manager and several people in the legal department have urged me to look into this path.

I need a break though so I've been considering a non-traditional path for my graduate studies. I'm looking at university online like Capella. They offer 109 graduate degrees including business and public safety. I could easily use either degree for our legal and/or trust department.

I never thought I would be this happy to stay in school.

I have to find a new job

And soon. We have 3 teams in my department. I'm being cross-trained on all 3 teams which isn't so bad. However, they've decided to not give me anything to do from my own team and to focus on the one team that I dislike working on the most.

It's not even the work that I don't like, it's the people that I work with. They really talk down to people and try to make you feel stupid. I just hope they don't talk to me like that because with my attitude it won't be pretty.

I knew I should have applied for that other accounting position. I hope something opens up in another area soon.

It's already time to think about Black Friday sales

It's 60 degrees in Pittsburgh today. That's really warm for this time of year. It's hard to believe that it's already November when it's this warm. I could understand it more if I lived in California or Florida but it's very unusual for Pittsburgh. I have to put the weather out of my mind and start thinking about those cyber monday discounts. Cyber Monday starts the unofficial Christmas shopping season. You can find all of the Black Friday sales in advance and get even better discounts by going online.

I have already signed up for an email alert to find out when new deals are posted. I'm especially looking for Babies R Us. One of my coworkers is having her baby 2 weeks before Christmas. She also has a 17 year old son so I know she needs a lot of stuff. I already have a idea of what to get her. I want to get her some stuff for the next size up as she already has a bunch of 0-3 month clothes.

That's only one person. I also have to shop for my Mom, my brother and a few other relatives. I need all of the sales and discounts I can get.
