Two For Tuesday

For each of the following 10 categories, tell us which brand/product you use and why.

1. Cell Phone
Sprint HTC Hero all they way baby... regular readers know I've had many cell phone problems lately...my fault. But here's a note: ALL WAYS PURCHASE CELL PHONE INSURANCE.


2. Email
I used to be a e-mail addict, what can I say I was bored and had nothing to do so I created like 5 different email accounts, from Yahoo.com to Gigway.com. I finally found Gmail and haven't left since...though I still have two Yahoo accounts, and a second gmail account. But then again I have a love affair with all things Google now. 


3. Toothpaste
I never pay attention to toothpaste brands. I think the Dollar Tree only sales Colgate, so that's what I buy.


4. Car 
Right now I'm driving my DAD's Toyota Corrolla. Dying for a newer, bigger vehicle. I'd really like on of the new Chevrolet Suburbans..but that's waaay out of my price range. 


5. Writing Utensil
I actually only like mechanical pencils, I don't like my writing using pens. 


6. Lotion
Udderly Smooth. St. Ives, Johnson's Baby Lotion. <3 <3 <3 There are so many lotions that actually dry out my skin, and these have been the only ones that last any amount of time. Thus I keep them in business. 


7. Interior Paint - 
WHA?!?! 


8. Soda/Drink 
Soda!  Dr.Pepper is my current addiction, with Mountain Dew coming in at a close second.  I got into the caffeine habit during my freshman year of college, my dad is convinced all my "memory problems" are the cause of it..and I can't say that I don't believe him.


9. Laundry Detergent
I buy what's on sale. 


10. Medicine
Don't get sick much, but during  Aunt Flo's visit I'll sometimes take Bayer's Crystals. 

A New Phone

I don't know exactly how to put into words my feelings. 

I have been informed, that I must cut off my right hand.

Yep.

My Phone is officially dead. 
Ok so that was a bit melodramatic 

Nothing Sprint or HTC will do.

"Buy a new phone." 

Was the words the "kind" Sprint Rep told me.

And then she had the NERVE to ask me, did she help solve my problem.

I'll admit to being very sarcastic when I say..."yesss".

She got it, but there wasn't anything she could do about it.

But seriously. 

You would think I'd learn that I NEED to get insurance on my phones already.

This is what...the fourth time this has happened too me?

Do I EVER learn?

Don't answer that. 

Ebay...Craigslist? 

Here I come.

Wordy Wednesday

{Zipper snoozing on top of my mouse pad, on my desk}

I am not a morning person, I do not like mornings, early or late, in fact if we could just skip mornings permanently I would probably be a very pleasant person, right out of bed. 

This is not to say that I'm not a pleasant person in the morning, but that's because I'm not talking to you and you're not talking to me. Believe me, dear roommate is cheerfully wishing me good morning, while I steadfastly ignore her very existence. 

How ever my family does not help contribute to the well being of my  morning state, by banging on the door at 8AM,demanding I get my camera, to take the photo of a DEAD RABBIT THE KILLED. I opened my curtains to see what he was yelling about, and immediately got back in bed. Seriously? How rude is it too wake up and see a dead rabbit hanging outside your window?


I got another hour or two of sleep in before, Zipper's high pitched squeals made that impossible. Speaking of Zipper, I have since come to the realization, the I cannot handle high energy dogs. And I actually think its more of, I can't handle them if they come too me like that..if I get them as puppies i Have more time to get used to the quirks of their nature, where starting out like that is very stressful. 


So having this dog back in my house again, has caused some tensions between me and...her... Its very easy to get frustrated with her..which makes training her all the harder. Especially since she's not a dog to look before she'll leap. Her favorite thing, is for me too put her on leash, walk outside and watch her run FULL TILT to the end of the leash, and get flipped on her back. 


I've given up being worried about her physical state as she'll get up, shake herself off. And DO IT AGAIN.  I hope her future family can get their money together quickly and complete this adoption already!


In other news, I am once again wondering if I am the only person in the world, that can get themselves into debt without spending any money. Now that my school has been paid for, the IRS pops up with a letter saying I owe them money....and then my secondary bank messages me, that I have overdrawn the account and being charged .. oh $40 on top of the money I over drafted. Which is about $100 total.  Total Debt Amount = $300. I know, I know, I KNOW.
Its not that much, but have ya SEEN my bank account lately?!? 


Thank goodness I started budgeting to have extra money! 


I think I can officially say also, that my lovely HTC Hero with Google, is officially back to working order.....15 minutes later...*snap* I just jinxed myself of course, and my phone is back too its new platonic, unresponsive state... Heres to hoping Sprint will be kind too me...or that I still have some sort of warranty on my phone. Life without a cell phone is stressful. 


.....And I'm Out
