A Crafty Nature

My parents have done something in there living room that i saw done on that HBO series true blood. That have one of those old fashioned big wooden box tv’s in there living room that has quit on them and they went out and got a nice flat screened lcd tv. They have left the old wooden box tx in the living room and are using it as a tv stand. Sookie’s brother on True Blood did the same thing. I think its meant to be a kind of hillbilly thing but I suspect there are lots of old tv’s like that all over being used as TV stands now.

You know I haven’t gone shopping for auto insurance quotes since I was working as a mystery shopper. It strikes me as funny that the best quote I got is from the insurance company I am currently using for 350 dollars. All of the other I got were for 500 or more. They were really really outrageous. Now I just have to make sure that my step son keeps his car insurance. I have had to go without it for long period and being a teenager he doesn’t need to get into that habit.

I was so glad not to be working at Wal-Mart when Black Friday came along. When I took the job at Wal-Mart and it took me longer to get a better job that I expected that was one of my big fears. That was the last place I wanted to be on Black Friday.  Hearing stories of people getting trampled and eve killed on Black Friday make me that much happier thatIi was not there.  Now I here stories from my old co workers about hours being cut and that kind of thing and I am that much happier that I got out of there when I did,

When I look at the car sitting in my driveway that used to be so cute and is now covered with fading paint, stained worn out interior, and scratches I think I probably should have bought a car cover any years ago. I’m not sure if it would have done any good. The car is going to be in the sun when on the road anyway but I’m sure sitting out in the weather all day and all night didn’t help the paint that much either. I really would like to have a new car someday.

I found myself at work the other day thinking about the good ole days when blogging was so good that we used to get in trouble for work holding. That was when we would put a link on a blog before writing the actually post and go ahead and submit it as finished. That way we could grab multiple ads off of a site very quickly. Even if there was a chance of that now there is no point because there aren’t enough ads to bother fighting over.   Its all googles fault.  I do miss those days a lot. But there over with now and I just have to accept that they are.

I really like replica watches. I like fake things that would be expensive. The reason is because I like to wear things that look expensive but I do not like paying a lot of money for these things. I have “cheap” tattooed right above my third eye. I love name brand clothing but I will not buy them new. They have to be used and purchased at a second hand store or a garage sale. They were much easier to find when I was thinner though. Maybe all of this running I have been doing will help me get thinner and make it easier for me to find those clothes.

I’m stiff, sore, miserable, my head hurts, my eyes are burning, and I desperately wish I could call in sick this morning or even take some of that extra time off they offer at work every single day. I am definitely in no mood to jog, even if I had time, which I don’t.

Its mornings like these when I don’t feel like running that I wonder about the side effects of alli, a diet drug. I don’t rally like relying on diet drugs to loose weight. That’s why I have taken up running over the last few months but its mornings like these when I think a diet drug would be helpful as well. I do worry about the way it would effect my breathing and heart rate since those two are pretty important when I run. I don’t want to stop running.

Ive been doing really well with my running lately. Its effects are starting to show on my body as well. I still think that I might be better off taking a diet drug like Fenterdren to help me burn off the fat that much faster.  Or maybe even talking my doctor into giving me some ADHD medication would be.  I’m sure if I keep running I will burn it all off eventually.

I think we get calls about LCD TVs more than anything at work. The picture going out or the sound and strange black lines across the TV. It does concern me. My parents have plain old direct view tv’s in there homes that are almost as old as I am. There is one sitting in the floor of my parents bedroom that I can remember going with them to buy as a child. They were set on the floor in rows like furniture and indeed the thing is surrounded by ornate fake wooden trim. Just like a piece of furniture. ThV’s are practically collectible now because of there furniture like quality. People are taking the TV components out of them and putting things like fishtanks inside of them.

I haven’t had any problems with Plantar Fasciitis since I stopped working on my feet.  Not even running on the treadmill barefoot really bothers me either.  I can run easily without shoes.  I am currently running 16.30 minutes 5 days a week.  This takes me about 1.40 miles.  I think 30 minutes of running a day would be a good goal to work up to and then slowly work on increasing my speed.
