It's just not fair...

I'm a little fustrated by these three things today:



1. That I have to work today when most other people are not...

2. That big fat greasy juicy hamburgers are so yummy, but can contain up to 1200 calories if you pick the right one.

3. That Taye never got the opportunity to meet me before he settled with Idina. (This bothers me on a regular basis, not just today)

We'll call it a lack of sleep...

During my lunch break at work yesterday I was watching the movie trailers for some upcoming movies that would like to see. One of them being Angels and Demons...
I've read the book so I know it's of the murder mystery genre and so I'm a little surprised when I turn up the volume on my computer to hear the preview that the music for the preview is Celine Dions God Bless America... and not just at first. The entire preview was nothing but scenes from the movie with God Bless America in the background. Which is weird since the movie doesn't even take place in Amercia. It takes place in Vatican City.
Weird...very weird.
So I exit out of the internet window...only to still hear that annoying song...and I realize that it was my itunes playing God Bless America...not the preview.
Dumb.
You can watch the non Celine Dion version of this trailer here.

Please explain this to me...

Ok, there is a husband and a wife. The husband is at the mall and he walks by Zales and they have a diamond ring with diamond earings that were normally $2,000 marked down to $500. The husband decides he HAS to get this for his wifes birthday that is this next week...so he runs to the bank and withdrawls the $500 dollars cash from their checking account. He goes straight back to the mall and the necklace and earrings are gone. So sad. So, he goes right back over to the back and deposits the money right back into the account. This all took place within a matter of hours.

So, a few days goes by and the wife gets online to check her account and she notices that they have about 7 0r 8 overdraft fees. She asks her husband about it and he confesses to the ruined present...but...he assured her he re-deposited the money the second he realized he wasn't going to be able to get the earrings. They look at their account more closely and notice they they didn't credit the account with the deposit until 3 or 4 days AFTER he deposited the money...so meanwhile, the checks and other things were going through and all getting overdraft fees...$38 dollars per overdraft...

I think this is completely unfair and that if the back can instantly take funds out of your checking, they should be able to instantly put it back in. Does anyone out there have a good reason as to why that can't happen?

This same thing happened to my roomate...sort of. She had been planning on buying a mac laptop and her dad sent her a check to put into her account to help her get it...she deposited the check into the account...and asked the bank employees if that money was available right now. They said it was. She even asked if it was available to use in one large sum...or if it had to be in smaller incriments. They said it was all available right now. So, we drove on over to the apple store...and...as you can guess...her card was denied due to insufficient funds.

Lame if you ask me.

The "New Years" blog...

As I've been looking through friends blogs (should I have put an apostrophe after the s on friends?) I see that many have done a 'recap' blog...

2008 wasn't a bad year...but it was a little uneventful...minus the fact that I moved across the country...

I will share with you some of my goals for the new year though...

I want to get a nice picture frame for a picture that Ashlie got me for Christmas that I LOVE!

I was going to attempt to give up soda or at least go to diet...but that is just unrealistic because I absolutly love soda. Love it. A lot.

I want to be debt free by the end of the year...with the exception of my car since I will be the big 3-0 before I get that paid off.

Going on a real date would be nice...but I'm not holding my breath...

I am going to leave a $100 bill and not ask for change sometime at a restaraunt.

If you know me you know that I love to make lists...If you know me well...you know I love to put things on my lists that I have already done so that I feel productive. So here we go...

I would like to pay off my Chase card... (check!)

Excuse me...

I was on my way to work today when an advertisment came on the radio that went something like this:

Man: I never thought my marriage could get so cold so fast.
Woman: I love my husband, but he has become more of a best friend than a lover.
Different Woman: Things we good between me and my husband at first, but now there is just nothing there physically.
Another Man: There's just no spark anymore.

Announcer (in a sultry voice): Do you find yourself thinking the same things as these husband and wives do? Don't worry, you aren't the only one. Now...you can find exaclty who you have been looking for at blahblahblahblahblah.com

(note: that is not the real website, I just can't remember what the real one is)

blahblahblahblahblah.com...where thousands of husband or wives have found who has been missing in thier lives...blahblahblahblahblah.com...come find that person who puts the spark back in your life.

Am I missing something...or was that blatantly advertising adultery?
At first I thought that maybe it was going to offer some sort of counseling for couples who have 'lost the love'...but you could tell by the way the announcer was going on that it was no therapist...
Yikes...
