I’m so dizzy! I mean, like actually and not just the normal dizziness of my personality. ugh. It started last night and I’m still spinning around this morning which isn’t good at all. The kids don’t understand when I’m not feeling right so I don’t get any time off for sickness. They care but at the same time they don’t.
Hopefully it will subside by the end of the day. I know it’s just my ridiculous anemia and nothing more, fortunately. No matter how much iron I take it doesn’t seem to really help. One of these days I’ll convince a doctor to just hook me up to an iron drip once a month and be done with it. I would seriously rather have a needle in my arm instead of all of the pills. Yuck. 
Have you heard about the new upcoming show at the Luxor in Las Vegas, CRISS ANGEL Believe? It is basically illusion and magic with Criss Angel all mixed into a performance by Cirque Du Soleil. What a combination! I was reading about it just now and it sounds amazing! Criss Angel is so HOT, and mysterious .. and yeah, a little creepy also if you ask me. His magic and illusions go beyond anything that anyone has ever done before and Cirque Du Soleil .. again, amazing! I would kill to go to one of their performances, especially this one! I’ll likely never get to Vegas or this show but it’s nice to dream, right?
If you would like to see this show or just learn more about it you can visit the special website filled with information, photo galleries and more. The site itself is gorgeous! You can also try and win yourself tickets through a special text messaging contest. All you have to do is text ‘Believe’ to 22122 and if you are lucky you will come away with 2 tickets. You never know .. you may be a winner!
I have SO much that I wanted to do today (and still want do) yet I haven’t even managed to get out of my pj’s. Showered, yes. But I put the jammies back on. heh 
I’m watching ‘Rob & Big’ re-runs and relaxing instead of doing anything that I need to do. It’s just so HOT, humid and of course smokey outside. Still. ugh. That nasty smell never leaves.
Everyone else is napping so that isn’t helping me either. I just want to curl up with them and nod off. Maybe I will?!
Lazy, LAZY Saturday.
and of course this would be THE night when new neighbors stopped by to give us freshly baked cookies. Oy.
I was gabbing on the phone with Grandma in my bedroom and heard someone asking the kids if their mommy or daddy was home. Of course I freaked because .. WTF? Who’s in my home?! Religious solicitors?! I went to the door all pissed off, expecting to shoo people away when I was greeted by the most adorable preppy little couple wearing matching outfits. Seriously, I don’t know if they planned it but they were very coordinated. I didn’t hear anyone knock but the kids must have heard them and then opened the door (yes, bad, going to scold them for that). I was totally caught off guard because no one has ever done that ANYWHERE we’ve lived.
They just moved in and just wanted to introduce themselves. I don’t remember their names (shoot!) and I am sure they didn’t even catch my name with the horror of seeing me with my crazy hair and puppy pj pants on. I noticed the woman sort of looking down at my pants. LOL At least I had makeup on, even if it was smudged. I threw the basics on my face earlier in the afternoon but I was distracted by this whole parenting gig before I could bust out the straightener and fix my hair.
What a redneck way to welcome them to the neighborhood, eh? Oh and now I’m left with etiquette questions. Do you give a thank you note? Bake them cookies also? Hmmm..
At least in my case with Paypal I am. WOOHOO! I just received an email letting me know that they have reviewed the information presented to them and closed the claim in my favor. Thank goodness! I feel like a giant weight has been lifted. I can breathe!
Now my money is all mine and the crazy lady can go scam someone else (after she leaves me negative feedback, I’m sure – oh well!). I transferred it out of there ASAP so it can be in my bank account. I don’t even think I’ll bother with ebay anymore. It’s a nice way to get quick cash for stuff you don’t need but I think I’ll forever be paranoid now. Too many fickle people with self entitlement issues.
I did it again. I managed to create the exact hair color I was looking for and it only cost me $16 and a few hours of my time. It’s a cool champagne blonde with very, VERY blonde highlights (think white). I let the boy child pick the box of hair color out and he actually did a great job. I love my little metro-sexual. LOL
I’m having a great hair week. I may not be a genius (no mba programs in my future) but I’m DAMN good with my hair. I just wish everything else would fall into place.
Thanks to loud music guy downstairs I was up at 5 am again. Oh joy! I just love DAWN.
GRRRR.
Who jams at 5am?! And in an apartment? You have to know that it would be a little irritating to your neighbors. Unless he’s just oblivious to the fact that he can be heard? I don’t know. I did bang the hell out of the floor this morning to send him a little clue about it. The music stopped shortly after that so I am hoping that clue was received and will be stored for later use.
It wouldn’t be so bad if I were one of those people who can go back to sleep within minutes but I’m not. Even when I am absolutely exhausted it takes me at least an hour. So being up in the middle of the night is no fun. Blah. I just want SLEEP, preferably for more than 3 hrs in a row.
Still sort of PO’ed about the ebay thing but .. eh. Not much I can do about that until they decide who is in the wrong. I did open a new Paypal account though and then updated the information with companies who pay me and it’s working perfectly .. so THAT is out of my hair. At least I won’t lose any more money over the next month. Sheesh!
I know I bitch and complain a lot but hey, it’s me. I’m not all sunshine and puppies in person either, believe me. I’m not unpleasant but I do get panties twisted quite easily. I hate disappointment. I know .. we all do, right? Like I’m any different. I tend to flip out and whine a lot. I need to work on that, I know.
Anyway .. no more.. back to positive stuff and since I’m speaking of money here, I saved $20 at Target today (err..yesterday since it’s nearly 1am here). Woohoo!! I’m getting good at going through my coupons before a trip and planning it out accordingly. Totally senior citizen of me but oh well. I had so many Buy One, Get One coupons and I didn’t buy anything that I didn’t need (which is impossible for me when it comes to Target).
Between my shopping cheese and the fresh batch of homemade rice pudding I whipped up earlier (YUM) – I’m a happy camper tonight.
I officially hate people. Well, most anyway. Not you, or you .. or you over there. You guys are cool but everyone else sucks!!
That crazy ebay biatch? She filed a dispute today through PayPal claiming that she didn’t receive her item at all, that she refused it and the reason that she didn’t ask for a refund sooner was because her mail was in somebody else’s box for like a week. No, it didn’t make ANY sense to me either.
Umm..
Yeah. And she wants her money back. Like right now.
I’m refusing and I escalated it to a claim. I’ll let PayPal decide because she is obviously not listening to any reason or rules. I have tracking numbers proving the item was delivered, not only once but TWICE. If that isn’t enough proof then .. whatever. I’ll likely get screwed as I always do on ebay. I don’t know why I try. I have a black cloud following me around, attracting all of the crazies who buy things and then change their mind. Wal*Mart puts up with that behavior but I don’t and can’t. Especially when I sold the stuff to have extra money to you know .. pay bills. I keep all of my own bills separate because I don’t think my husband should pay for stuff that is my name and my name alone. I’m trying to pay those bills off even if it means sacrificing my own belongings to do so now that I make next to no income of my own. But then this stuff happens and … GRRR. I can’t even type the dirty words that are running through my mind right now.
And even better?! My account is froze until they decide one way or the other. So even though in the worst case possible I would owe this chick $105, I have NOTHING. None of the money that I have coming in daily that I absolutely COUNT on can be withdrawn even though it has nothing to do with this dispute. Fan-freaking-tastic. In fact they even reversed a withdrawal that I made awhile ago. REVERSED! How the hell that is even fair is beyond me. Hold the $105 but everything else? That is just screwed up.
To top all of that my kids are being heathens .. total heathens and I ruined dinner because I was too distracted with this stuff. The hubby ended up eating some of it but I could tell even he was about to choke – and he’ll eat ANYTHING so you know it had to be pretty gross.
Tomorrow will be better, right??
or so I hope!
The hubby informed me that starting at the end of next month he’ll be moving to a second shift type schedule. At first I thought that it may be sort of annoying to have him around during the day but maybe it will work out ok. I will actually have the car during the day and that may turn into being able to take the kids out to do things .. or even just escape all by myself!!
SCORE!
