I am very happy, my company is taking us to lunch for our Christmas Party.  First of all we are having our lunch during a work day and not on the weekend. Second we are taking a little longer lunch so that is a lot better than spending a whole evening.  Third we are going back to work this one I did not like but I can live with it.  We are having our luncheon at a very nice place in the downtown area of where I live.  The restaurant is very nice but its not crazy expensive like other places.  The food is delicious, so I am so happy that my boss decided on it.  I almost forgot the best part, we do not get to take our husbands and that is the best part.  My husband does not really care about meeting with my co-workers specially some of them in particular.  An on the other hand I do not get to see people whom I really dislike.   I am just very happy to celebrate Christmas with my coworkers in such a different way.

Today I receive my cell phone bill and boy I was going crazy.  I really don’t use it unless is an emergency or if I have important business to attend so when I saw the bill I almost collapse.  I called my husband and he told me to stay calm and not to freak out because it had to be a mistake.  Later he call me to tell me that he has spoken with the phone company and we were liable for the payment.  I just couldn’t't understand how it happen.  I had not made calls out of the ordinary so why was the bill so high.  At about 10:50 at night I was going over the bill on the Internet and guess what I found the mistake.  I contacted the phone company and told them about the mistake, minutes later the problem was resolve.  I just could not believe how expensive it was, so it paid to take time to investigate the problem.

Don’t you hate when people ask you for your stuff again and again and again? Really it bugs me big time don’t they see that may be is a better idea to buy the stuff rather than boring it time and time again.  Well my friend has been borrowing my stuff and is just getting on my last nerve.  When she calls me to ask me for the item I give them a thousand excuses but she still does not get my point.  I take care of my stuff and I pay a high price to get the best quality and then having to lend it to someone over and over again makes me turn colors.  I have not yet said something to her I just wished she understand how much that bugs me.  On one occasion I tried to say something and she got very defensive so I just do not know what to do.   I thought she would get the my grip and never ask for things again but guess what I was wrong once again.

Well today I took the day off work just so that I could get all my stuff together for the long weekend. We are going up North to see my sister-in-law and I am really not looking forward to visiting her. Is nothing personal but I feel that she feels annoyed with our visit. I guess is no brainer when so many brother and sister show up and her house goes crazy. I would seriously like to stay home and cook and then rest. I have said something to my husband about my plan but he kind of gets upset. He feels that I just do not like his family but it is not true. With my school and my sick mother and my daughter I really do not take time for me. My all time wishes would be to stay home and rest. I would not mind cooking because I love to cook. On the other hand my husband likes to take advantage of this time to go visit his family. I just have to deal with it I have no choice.

Since I started going to school, I have met some of the most amazing people. They are also studying Court Reporting and I feel so happy to have become friends with them. There are not that many students at my school so being a little group brings all us together. Yes, there are some exeptions some girls walk around like they are angry with the world, but besides them all the other students are very helpful. In particular I have met two older woman who I consider them my mentors. They have helped me out get through a lot, not only school wise but also personal. They have been there showing their support and encurage me to go on with my dream. I am just very exeptianally gratified that I met such wonderful people. I for one consider myself a good person, who can help anyone if they are in need of help, so I guess in a way I am meeting with people just like me. Meeting people like these women really makes a difference between winning and loosing.

Yes, after being on a so call diet I have since gain about five pounds.  I am so upset at myself.  Honestly I do not know what to do I feel as if I have tried everything.  I felt that I was eating better making better food choices ,but I guess I was wrong.  May be I have to gain weight in order to loose weight?? yeah, right well that gives me a better feeling.  I know I am the one who decides on what happens with my life, but right know I do not seem to have any control over my life.  I am just very tired and frustrated specially when I look back a just a year ago.  Back then I use go for walks at night and run in the morning and do some strength training.  Of course my life has changed I can do half the things I use to do.  For one thing or another I just seem to run all over town and very little gets done.

Today, I visited the 99 cent store and boy I found so many bargains.  I just could not believe all the things they had for so little money.  For starters I love hot teas and usually I will look for coupons for them or sales.  The other thing I do is go to Big Lots and buy them there.  But today when I walked into the 99 cent store I notice they had my favorite teas for guess what 99 cents.  I went crazy I think a bought the whole section of teas.  The other items I found were also very cheap and are of good quality.  I bought some socks and drink flavoring powder, salad dressing, and many other things.  The other thing I notice was that the items were not expired believe or not I have seen cheap stuff  with an expired date.  Well I had fun shopping because I knew I was getting the best buy for a very low price.

With the fires and the bad  air quality my sister got really sick.  She started with a little cough and now  it is a full blown bronchitis or something like that.  She has gone to see the doctor but does not seem to get better.  I have also given her some herbs but the cough is so persistent.  After a week of her suffering we headed to our last resort.  In the city I live there are many little medical offices who treat illnesses with injections.  The injections make an illness go away faster because they are so strong.  I wonder why hospitals do not follow the same procedure could it be that people would heal faster…Since yesterday after she got the injections my sister has felt a little bit better.  The cough has subsided and I can tell she is definitely back from her misery.

This weekend I spend it at my new home.  Although I like the new house it just does not feel like my home.  I feel kind of strange going over there and spending a couple of days and then coming back to my first house.  I guess is just a matter of getting use to the whole moving around.  My husband has been staying over at the new house for a while now and he absolutely loves it.  I can see why,for one there are no next door neighbors.  There are not a thousand cars going and coming blasting loud music.  These two days I also liked it,  I do feel relax but I kind of feel weird.  Overall my old house feels home to me at least even if I have listen to so many cars.  I guess I am just use to it all.

So the houses are not worth a lot of money but my property tax went up.  Can someone please tell me why this is happening, I just do not understand the concept behind it.  I mean if the house market is low and my house is gone down in value should not my propety taxes also go down.  I am upset because there are things that just don’t make much sence to me at least.  The other thing that also make me unhappy is that of grocery prices.  As I had hear that food prices had gone up because of gasoline, but the gas prices have gone down but not the food prices.  My husband and I bust our butts just as many of you do out there.  We are barely at home so that we can make ends meet,but  do not seem to keep up with the fees going up and down.  I do not know but I am just fustrated righ now as things do not seem to get better.  On the other hand, it could be worse I could be out of a job so I guess I just have to take it easy.
