Tired and Thinking

Posted by Holly on Dec 1, 2008 under Uncategorized

Today I have decided not to go to class as it’s just to horrible out and when the wind picks up it will be worse. It’s also a good thing as after I am done writing this I am takeing a nap. My movie audit this weekend was just a lot and I’m really tired. I probably would have been fine if it hadn’t taken me an hour and a half to get home last night, the drive is only 40 minutes on a good day.

I do have to say I’m happy to do this though, I need the money and the big chunk I will get next month from it will help me pay some things I need to pay. Some will be going to my health insurance that I have to start paying for next month. I am hoping it will still only be about $100 I just can’t afford more then that a month.

I guess it’s nap time. I’ve spent too long looking at great shopping deals that I can’t get. Thats what happens when you only have $40 in your bank account and that is for gas and food.

Be Charitable This Holiday, Invest In The USA

Posted by Holly on Nov 30, 2008 under Christmas shopping, charity

I have heard from many people this year that they have decided that instead of handing out gifts to the adult relatives they have, they will donate what they would have spent on them to a charity. There are many charities to choose from, but have you thought about a charity that would also be an investment and help the US economy. There is a program that does just that and you can help by donateing money that will go toward the Rebuilding of America.

This program will provide jobs to the hurting construction industry by getting projects going that have been stopped due to the economy. The best part is it’s only $20 to participate and it is for a really good cause. Helping the people of our country get back on their feet so that eventually we can help others in need to.

If your still not sure about this I suggest you check out the letter from the CEO of Rebuilding of America. It explains everything in great detail and really gets you an inside look at what this man is trying to accomplish. The letter also explains how they take steps to protect your money so that you will not lose any of it. The best part is profits are divided annually and after 5 years you can get your original investment back and leave the project, if you don’t want to then you can invest for another 5 years. Not a bad deal and it will bring us the change and prosperity this country needs.

Winter Wonderland, Or Not

Posted by Holly on Nov 30, 2008 under Uncategorized

I am so tired right now and really hoping the coffee kicks in soon. I have to drive home tonight in a pretty bad storm and I don’t want to, but I can’t very well stay at the movie theater I am auditing so I will be attempting in about 3 hours to head home. I know the roads will be horrible and it probably will take me at least an hour and a half to get home. As long as I make it home I’ll be happy. You just never know driving at night around here. My next post could be from a hospital bed.

Just coming down the road to get food I almost was hit twice. Oh well I guess this is winter for you. I really need to move to a warmer state!

A Perfectly Timed Song

Posted by Holly on Nov 30, 2008 under personal


Have you ever heard a song that just seems like it is played at the right time in your life or USBTurntableday? I had that happen to me today and I have to say it put me in a great mood. After spending some time at the movie theater today doing an audit I started to feel down because everyone was having so much fun out with friends, their boyfriends and so on. Yet I’m sitting there trying to figure out when the last time was I went out with friends and actually had fun. Usually I’m babysitting their kids while they do stuff. I love kids, but not the fun time I need.

Anyway this song came on and just made me so happy and I thought that maybe my life was not so bad, the school thing will be over soon and maybe then I’ll have time to make some friends that are not married and don’t have kids, who can go out and do things with me. I guess my life right now is just lonely, I do have my family, but we don’t really do much together anymore. I guess I just have to wait and see.

Investing In My Town

Posted by Holly on Nov 30, 2008 under business

My sisters boss has been trying really hard to invest in our small town. He owns a few Tacobells and now is looking into adding a Sonic Link To Copy: franchise to the area. I think it would be great not just for the town, but because I love sonic.

I love watching this small town grow. There is so much they could do here, but still keep that small town feel. I would love to see a chain steakhouse out here along with a small but more then one screen theater. If they could do that I think people would stay in town to do more shopping and so on. This would bring more jobs to the area and make people want to stay here. Right now unless your a farmer or work at wal-mart there really is not much. The factories are closing and a lot of places are going out of business. It’s sad to see, hopefully things will start to change soon.

I Learned Something This Weekend

Posted by Holly on Nov 30, 2008 under personal, work from home

When you are diabetic you need to plan things in advance. This weekend I am doing a movie audit and it was very last minute. I am so worn out today that I know tonight when I get home I will be going right to bed. I’m just hoping that the drive home is not too bad, we are suppose to get a good size storm tonight.

I think that I may have to get some coffee and hope for the best a few times today. It wouldn’t be so bad but when you do a movie audit you have to count the people going into the theater. it’s not a very hard job, but when your tired you start to mess up. Some companies it’s okay with others you have to write a huge explanation as to why you messed up and sometimes you just don’t know why. My company is one of those so I try as hard as I can to be right on. This has been my worst weekend yet. Some of it I think is because people come and go out of the theater a lot for this movie. I have some advice, if you see someone standing at the door of the theater and they look like they are doing something try to not go in until you have everything you need!

This movie has a few sell out’s so I think that is why it was so bad, I understand that people send others in to find seats. My family does. It just stinks for me.

Looking For A Gift For Your Hunter

Posted by Holly on Nov 30, 2008 under Christmas shopping

If you know someone who hunts and they need some new stuff, I have something cool for you, the Nikon Ultimate Hunter’s Package Promo where you can get a ton of cool stuff for your hunter needs. The package contains:

-ProStaff 3-9×40 Riflescope with BDC Reticle
