I finally found something to watch on tv

I never thought I would but I have and it's not what you would expect. It's a program that shows you have to invest by starting with the opportunity to buy gold bullion. I can get gold ingots or in coin form. Coins would work for me because I can store them at home in my lockbox. Bullion presents a great way to preserve your wealth and and preserve your purchasing power.

The United States Gold Bureau lets you purchase gold or coins for personal delivery or you can have them hold the items at a independent bank or depository. This is a great time to invest since production is slowing down. The items will soon be hard to get which will make their value skyrocket.

I have a few extra dollars laying around that I plan on investing very soon.

The tv schedule really stinks

Geez I was just complaining about the lack of baseball. Now I see that there is nothing on television at all. Everything is repeats for the majority of the summer season. The only bright spot for me is sports which I lamented about in my last post. The new season of several shows does start in mid-June.

I for one can not wait!

I'm getting antsy for baseball games

There haven't been any games on tv that I've wanted to see. There have been games but I wasn't interested in any of them. Basketball on the other hand is in full force. There are games on almost everyday. The fact that it's the playoffs has something to do with it but it's still annoying. Let's go with some more games!

My hair turned out great

I got my hair cut this past weekend and it looks really nice. I don't have any split ends or frizzy/fly away hair. My hair dresser went to a great school but she could have gone to a Cosmetology school in Colorado where she would have learned the same things. Regency students work on real clients under the supervision of their faculty members. After they graduate the school has an excellent placement program that can put you anywhere from cruise ships to runway fashion shows.

I know my hairdresser got a top notch education because her work is awesome. I saw 2 people that she worked on before my appointment time and they both looked great. I will definitely go back to her and her number is on my speed dial.

I hate spam

I have a ton of spam comments on this blog and on my other blog. I don't mind so much on this blog since I don't have any page rank. I don't know if my blog is banned by Google or not, but it has no rank what-so-ever. Not even a zero. It shows up as unranked. However my other blog is now ranked at a pr3 which is cool considering my previous high was a 2 then a rank spank for several years with a big goose egg to match. You can best believe I watch the comments on that blog very carefully.

Now I just need to sit down and weed through the comments on this blog.

I need new clothes

I don't have anything to wear. I've finally gotten my weight to stabilize but I still weigh more than I really want to. I need to lose at least 1 size and until I do I refuse to buy a lot of clothes. Unfortunately that means that I have to make due with what I have which isn't a lot. It just seems like if I keep buying clothes at the bigger size that I'm agreeing with it or something and I most certainly don't like being this size.

I may have to take drastic action to get some of this weight off and I don't cherish the thought of going through this again. But I definitely need to get some of this weight off.

Our economy is in shambles

And that ain't no random rambling either. We are not doing good right now at all. Wages are not even remotely keeping up with inflation. And that's if you're even lucky enough to have a job. Interest rates stink right now. The United States dollar index fell as much as 0.5 percent. The dollar fell amid speculation of the euro’s recent losses, Greece’s financial tumult and improving corporate earnings all of which reduced the demand for the safest assets.

Right now is the best time to diversify your portfolio. It's time to invest in all asset classes, not just cash and stocks. This may be the perfect time to buy gold bullion. Think about it, gold is just rising in price while everything else is stagnant. With the dollar devaluing, gold is a good hedge against inflation.

Now may be the time for you to look into buying gold too.

I do not like meetings

They are so boring. We do have a small meeting every Friday but it only lasts for 10 minutes. I've had a training meeting twice in the past 2 weeks that have lasted over an hour. They're on the phone and computer but all we do is listen and watch. It's so unbelievably boring that it's ridiculous.

The last time me and my coworker ended up texting back and forth with each other for the whole hour. I can see that happening again today.

I totally missed my brothers birthday

I didn't forget it but I never sent his card. I never heard from him to thank me but that's not unusual because I don't always get to talk to him. So when I cleaned my computer desk off and found the card I was pretty surprised. The card was signed and I even wrote out his personal greeting. I had never even sealed the envelope though, the money was still inside and everything.

I'll mail the card either today or tomorrow. I guess better late than never right?

They're finally getting married

I can't believe it. My two friends who have been dating forever have finally decided to get married. And they're doing it in style I might add. They were going to go to Vegas but vetoed the idea. They decided to do one of those destination weddings to the Mayan Riviera. Ohh la la. Sounds like fun to me.

The picked the El Dorado Royale Resort and it sounds like heaven. They have air conditioning and ceiling fans which is perfect for me. They also have a artificial river that I can float on and when I'm ready to have a drink they have a swim up bar. Add to that the gourmet all-inclusive meals and beach side aerobics and what more can you ask for? I'm not even the one getting married and it sounds like a blast.

I better start planning now because I wouldn't miss this for the world.

I need new boots

I don't have any snow boots. I do have a pair of dress boots that have a block heel that keeps my feet off of the ground in the snow and I don't slide. I can't continue to wear them though because they're only man-made materials and of course they're starting to crack. As it stands I can't wear them as anything but snow boots but pretty soon I won't be able to wear them for that either.

I guess I need to start comparison shopping to see who will give me the best deal.

This weather stink

It is so cold outside right now. As if that's not bad enough, it's snowing like crazy. It's been snowing all week and it's not supposed to stop until at least Saturday. They're claiming we're only getting 3"-5" but it seems like so much more. I really hate Winter, Spring can't get here fast enough.

I can't believe it's almost Christmas

This year seems to have flown by. It's crazy because it seems like it was just yesterday that we were bringing in 2009. Now it's only 3 days till Christmas. I'm leaving to go home on Christmas Day. I have to work on the 24th until 2:30. It would be dark halfway on my journey and I don't want to try to drive that far once it's dark. Weird I know but that's how I drive.

I hope you and your family have a safe and joyous holiday!

I am so ready for a vacation

My job is so stressful right now. Between all of the problems that I'm having with my job search and wondering who is going to potentially get laid off, I'm not having a good time right now. I would love to take one of the cheap vacations that I've seen advertised lately.

There are some great deals going on right now. Especially if you're looking to go to the Riviera Maya. You can get a great all inclusive vacations at several distinct hotels. The best part is that each hotel offers something different. There are adult only resorts, family friendly resorts and if you're particularly adventurous there's a naturalist resort.

I don't know what I'm looking for right now. I wouldn't be opposed to staying at a family friendly resort or a adults only retreat. I'm not so sure about the naturalist resort though. I think that would stress me out even more. And right now, the only thing I want to do is relax.

I think I know what's wrong with my computer

I've been having trouble with my home computer for a while now. I couldn't figure out what it was but now I think I know. I have spy ware on my computer. At first I thought it was a virus but my anti-virus doesn't turn up anything. Then I realized that I downloaded this program. I've heard that the program contained spy ware but it never caused me any problems. Now that I'm having problems I've figured out what it is.

Hopefully once I delete that program my computer will cooperate for a few more months. Or at least until I get enough money to buy a new one.

Fall is officially over

For me anyway. I know that Winter is still almost a month away but for me it's as good as here. Baseball season ended last week with a Yankees World Series win, YAY!. But booooo it means that Fall is over. Done. Kaput. All I have to look forward to now is the days off between now and the end of the year.

It's gonna be a long time until spring training starts.

This is my least favorite time of the year

While I love the fact that football is in full swing, it's the end of the baseball playoffs. At most there will only be 4 more games and then it's done. Not only do I mourn the loss of my second favorite sport, I also know that Winter is rapidly approaching.

I'm ready to start counting down the days to spring training!

Insuring and protecting my assets

My bank has decided to go green. As such the new safe deposit boxes are not as secure as I would like them to be. They are also not fire-proof which doesn't bother me as much. I don't expect anything to happen to the bank any time soon.

I need to put a few things that I have in there. I have several insurance policies that I need to be able to put my hands on. I also have a few paper savings bonds and my personal papers. One thing that I don't have right now is my ingots. I'm looking at both silver and gold. Monex sells bullion or I can also buy American Eagle coins. I can put them in the box that I have or I can have Monex store them for me.

I like the idea of hedging my bets against a failing economy and I want to add metals to my portfolio. I might as well do it now while prices are low and make my profit with the rise in prices.

What a horrible start to the season

I can't believe we're 1-2. I know it's early and we can turn it around and all that jazz. It's pretty bad when you lose to the Bengals though. I know the old adage about "any given Sunday" and "any team can win" but seriously they stink. They have no team continuity or chemistry and they still won.

We need to get it together and quick or this will be a long season.

My vacation was so boring

It was last week but it was very boring. I didn't do anything for the 1st 5 days except rest and watch a lot of tv. Then I went to visit my Mom the last 5 days. I should have visited her the first part because that drive to and from her house really tired me out. But it was great to see her and I wouldn't trade that for anything.

Hopefully next year I'll get to go on a trip somewhere.
