Nothing relieves stress more than cleaning

Tuesday, February 16, 2010

I so hate paperwork but obviously it has to be done to accomplish things.

So most of the paperwork is now done on our home refinacing. YEAH.

Today my plan is to use physical power and clean the kitchen... just to release some stress.

Tonight I will continue on the baby afghan and get two packages ready to mail tomorrow.

I would kill for one day to just be completely brain dead and not have any issues in my mind. LOL

I used to clean when I was angry and clean when I was worried and clean when I was happy and now I'm happy to have someone clean for me. Erin Report Inappropriate Comment

So far this might be a good week

Monday, February 15, 2010

Today the sun is out and it is a bit windy but at least the sun is out. The morning forecase said it would not stop raining until early afternoon, they were happily wrong.

So I went out and went to return something at Staples, headed down the road figuring I would have to get a zipper for my husbands work jacket but the seamstreess was able to pull it out.

Drove into Greenville to go to Whole Foods, AC Moore and Barnes and Noble. Part of my mind kept wanting a hamburger from Fuddruckers and a frapparchino from Starbucks. I steared my car the opposite direction of Fuddruckers and passed 4 Starbucks, including the one in Barnes and Noble.

Got my next two projects yarn from AC Moore and then headed to one last grocery store for milk and veggies.

So now I am home and the paperwork I have been looking for to take my contractor to court is now found (Home Depot mislabeled it but that was fine). The important thing is that I have it now.

SO this week, i am going to start finding out which court house I have to go to to start my suit against him (SC makes it so that you have to sue the contractor where there business is located, not where the work was done)

I than get to finally input the last numbers I need to file our taxes and can get that over this week.

I hopefully will accomplish a lot. Just hope the inspector who is apparising our house comes out soon so I can get that behind me.

And yes, there is still stress going on within me and I am trying to handle it but placing it on something that is fun and relaxes me.

Brunch disaster

Sunday, February 14, 2010

We went out to try a new resturant for brunch and honestly the food was bad.

Perhaps it was because it was Valentines Day and they were mass producing some of the items at the buffet. It was Mexican food and where was a chef there making the egg dishes but the other foods, like the fajittas, soups, beans, rice along with several other dishes were in chaffing dishes with no heat under them to keep them warm.

So as crowded as this place always is during the week, I will not be going back. It is a good thing I had an alternate plan for dinner tonight... just in case we did not leave the house.

After another night of tossing and turning, I got up to the gray skies knowing snow was coming today.

We were not in for a lot perhaps an inch or two where we are, but you never know with the weather lines.. could get more, could get less.

So went to my pain doctor for my trigger point injections. She was hoping that would give me some relief to sleep for a few nights... we will see..

The did some grocery stopping and then came home and got the mail. One letter had a Canadian postmark and I thought it was from a friend there. When I opened it there was a check for over 2990.00 for payment for being a mystery shopping. Now get this... after I deposited the check, I would be told to go to Walmart where they would give me my 30 minute lesson on being a mystery shopper, then I would purchase something for 50.00 and keep it after sending in the receipt, then go to Sears, purchase something and send in the receipt, again keeping the merchandise. Then I could have a free lunch at McDonalds all from this money and I could also keep 300.00 for my salary.

Now here comes the catch, I would then take 2 1300 amounts and wire it one from Western Untion and the othe through money gram back to the company who sent me the money. And should they need me again to "assist" them, then they will contact me.

So I went to the website for the company who wrote the check and it was for Chiropractor equipment. They I went to the site for the mystery shopping part and there was a big red flag up their about this company who has stolen their name and having consumers cashing checks for them and then taking the money back in pay pal accounts.

So I called our local television station and reported this, Now I have to send a copy to the postmaster since this is considered a form of money laundering and also to the BBB here so they can investiage.

Glad you didn't do it. It was nice of you to report it. The more people reporting the better chance we all have of stopping it. Why do people have to be sooooo evil? Report Inappropriate Comment

So glad you were smarter than the swindlers!! I keep getting text messages on my cell phone about a limit on my credit card (I have no credit cards) and one time I called the number just out of curiosity and it wasn't a live person but just a voice asking me questions and one of the questions was to punch in my pin number. I hate to say how many of those I have gotten. I need to go to someone about it as I am sure there are others getting the same and losing money. Report Inappropriate Comment
