Week #10

Forgot to do this again last Friday so here I am today.
Last week, ’round about Saturday evening, I discovered that I was grateful for unlimited texting!

Todd & I decided that it was high time he get a decent cell phone. So we canceled his old contract and put him on my family plan. And the AT&T sales guy gave us a smoking deal on his new phone. It should have cost us about $140, but we decided to get unlimited texting on our plan and with that and the fact that the funny sales guy hadn’t given someone a screaming deal in a few days, we ended up paying $60 for everything with a $50 mail-in rebate (that we still need to do). Even with the new plan and the unlimited texting, we’re still paying about $40 less/month than we were before. So that’s pretty rad!

So now I text during class at will without worrying about going over my limit. And I actually prefer texting to talking on the phone….it cuts out the “hello” and “goodbye” niceties if all you really have to know is if I’m meeting you somewhere at x-time. It’s just easier to text.

I LOVE TEXTING!

"She’s started composing…" "MUSIC?!?!"

i’m stressing out right now about my stupid mother-loving health insurance.

i hate that i went to get a stupid CT scan now that nothing is wrong with my head and the problem was with my back…and problem my new chiropractor is fixing with much haste.

that stupid useless doctor’s visit (where he did nothing but ask me a bunch of questions and proceed to tell me that i had to get scanned for tumors) is costing me/us about $2000. granted the claim isn’t finished being processed so it could cost less, but i’m not planning on it.

i know i should be grateful that i have health insurance at all, but c’mon. this is a bit nuts.

Week #9

This week, much to my own chagrin, I’m thankful for PBR.
The beer, not the bull-riding association (although that is something to be quite thankful for as well)

In my difficult struggle to lose all the weight I gained on the cruise, I have found that I still enjoy drinking a beer or two on date night or when we hang out with our buds at Sloans and/or Big Hoss. I’ve recently been drinking “chandy’s” which is cheap lite beer and Sprite mixed. Much to my dismay, Sprite is chock-full of all kinds of calories and sugar that I don’t need. So the other night, I braved the wild’s of crappy beer and ordered a PBR. And wouldn’t you know it, I actually enjoyed it! It’s only like 52calories for 12oz. and typically costs about $2.50…totally not a bum deal. I still really like my chandy’s, but until I lose the “cruise weight” I’m happy to indulge in cheap American beer…
