Did anyone watch the lunar eclipse yesterday? I glanced out the window a few times to see it and I must admit, it was really cool. It would of been nice if I had some sort of telescope with special magnifiers so I can see it better. I guess I’ll have to invest into getting one for myself sometime.

I saw some really great photos that people took of this spectacular event. If you search on Flickr, you’ll see many. Of course I was too busy to be bothered with pulling out my camera and going outside to take a photograph. Now I’m smacking myself for not doing so. Oh well…I guess I’ll just have to wait until 2010. I think that’s when the next one is going to occur.

I am not even joking. I’ve got a running nose that sometimes feels stuck even though I blow it all the time. I’ve also got a bad cough, sore throat, watery eyes, sneeze marathons, and have taken more Advil for headaches in the past few days than I have in all my life!!! And no, I’m NOT exaggerating!!

I even called in sick on Wednesday from my job because I felt like complete crap in the morning. That day I slept well into the afternoon. Even now, a few days later, I still have the stupid cold but have been going to work regardless. After all, I can’t be missing a shit load of days from my new job. No thanks…I don’t want to put that into jeopardy.

I work again tomorrow but hopefully I’ll get a chance to swing by Wal-Mart in the morning so I can check out the cold medications they have. I usually get Sudafed which has ALWAYS worked in getting my colds to go away. Julie also suggested Nyquil which I can honestly say, I’ve never tried.

I’m not a huge pill popper or medication taker. In fact, I prefer to have my body heal itself from any sickness the natural way. So when I said I’ve taken more Advil in the past few days…it really was the honest truth. I’ve probably going taken Advil once or twice in all my 22 years of living. I know…unbelievable. LOL!! Sudafed I have taken once or twice every year when I get really bad colds such as this. That’s the one thing I know that will always work to get rid of it that fast way. Plus, I’ve never had any side affects from it either. So that’s a plus!! LOL!

Anyways, I’m heading to bed so I can finish reading this amazing book called Yakuza Moon by Shoko Tendo which I think is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!! I can’t put this book down at all because it’s really interesting. Then again, I absolutely love the Japanese culture, so I’d read anything related to it. I’ve read some great books in my lifetime, and this is definitely one of them. I’ll probably have a review of it once I’m done on my other site Fading Away In Life.

Toodles for now and btw, Happy Valentine’s Day even though I’m a day late.

I can’t believe how many people I have banned from my sites. It’s not a million, but it’s seems like it’s becoming more and more frequent.

Why do I ban?

• First of all, I don’t care if you state your opinion on topics. That’s fine, as long as you’re civil about. When you go about bashing other commentors, well…that will get you a ban.
• If you come around just to spam my site with stupid comments that have nothing to do with the topic and/or have many links leading to crap spam-like sites, well…that will get you a ban.
• If your only intention is to come here and bash me or any of my sites, H-E-L-L-O, well…that will get you a ban.
• If you are a stalker or just a weird ass person who I DON’T want visiting my site, well…that will get you a ban.

Yes…my bans are permanent and when I ban…I ban you from all my sites at once.

DON’T BE ONE OF THESE STUPID PEOPLE!

ps:
Oh ya…All comments are moderated.
Any dumb comments never make the light of day. *rolls eyes*

I am sooo ready for the summer time. Really…all this snow and super cold weather is driving me insane!! And it doesn’t help when the wind is strong and crazy too as it just makes the temperature even colder!!

Arrggh….I really want to go camping this summer as a family. Of course we’ll need travel gear and other camp stuff as we have never gone camping before. Well, everyone hasn’t except my older sister and her fiance. They went last year I think…

I can’t wait until it’s time to wear flip flops and shorts. I’m really longing for those days bad…*sigh*

The other day I saw a post by Jenn over here where she’s making such a gorgeous blanket. I got really inspired and ended up pulling out my crochet hooks and buying new yarn. I am totally making a blanket too.

I don’t know how to do the ripple effect, so I have decided to make a striped blanket. The colours are going to be white, blue, and pink and it will continue until I think the blanket is long enough.

Here’s a glimpse of what I have done so far and also my little crafts basket.

The place I work at has been really good so far. The thing I love the best is that all I’m doing is taking orders over the phone and using a computer, plus I’m getting paid mucho dinero!! $$$$$

Once my probation period (aka “newbie” status) is up, I’m hoping to advance within the company. There’s a few different sections I could really see myself working at. One of them being marketing. I absolutely love doing market research and know what people want for the service this company provides. Heck, I know exactly what I would want!!

The one thing I’ll NEVER and I mean NEVER want to get a job with is the customer service department. HELL NO!!

I can’t believer the rudeness I get from people over the phone while I take their order for certain things. Plus, they get pissed at me if I can’t hear them if their phone keeps cutting in and out. So there’s no way I can deal with angry people day in and day out in customer service.

Kudos to anyone who works in customer service. I wouldn’t be able to do it because of the stupidity of the people you have to deal with. Anyone who deals with the general public knows EXACTLY what I’m talking about.

Yup…in my previous post I was saying that I was looking forward to three days off and would finally get a chance to catch up on blogging. That totally didn’t happen at ALL!!

I’ve been preoccupied with other things and I hate to admit it, but the last thing on my mind was blogging. I have many other things that I have to catch up on such as my reading and others. Plus the weather hasn’t been to great also, so it’s kind of like a sour atmosphere around here.

When are the brighter days going to come around?? *sigh*
