I hate living in this old house of mine. There really isn’t one thing about my home that I like. Not one. I hate the location, I dislike the neighbors, I hate the fact that we don’t have central air conditioning! It’s 2008!! You know how bad it is to live in a house without central air conditioning? It’s horrible. Especially with the weather the way it is now. We’ve been having so many high humidity hundred degree days this summer. July is half way over but we still have all of August to contend with. I’m really hoping to be in a new house by 2009. I can’t imagine spending one more year in this home. After nearly ten years of living here I’m definitely ready to call some mortgage lenders and see how we can get a new home for the new year. One that has central air!

I’m really thinking about blocking all of the advertisements that come to my email inbox from beauty companies. Lately I’ve been on this kick where I feel compelled to buy tons of different beauty products. I’ve recently been spending a lot of money on products that smell good or are fun to wear. Those things are usually body lotions and butters, splash, lip gloss, and other things of that nature. What can I say, I love my beauty products. I don’t feel too bad when I buy things because I always try to look for different deals and sales before I buy. That’s why I need to block those companies from contacting me. Most of the time I don’t even know about a sale until I get an email telling me how much I can save. I don’t care what anyone says, those things make you want to shop! Until I can resist the sale advertisements I think I should just block them!

A few months ago I found this really cool website online that makes custom merchandise for businesses and people looking to promote themselves. When I first saw some of the cool stuff that the company has to offer I knew that I definitely wanted to do business with them. At the time I had no idea what I could possibly use the merchandise for, but I knew it would be a great idea to keep the site in mind. Fast forward to now and I think I finally now. I would love to have some custom merchandise printed up to promote my design company. I haven’t done any market research but I know that people love to get free pens and things of that nature, so why not use pens to get my name out there. Sounds like a great plan to me!

Do you guys like to drink? I have to admit that I’m not too good with alcohol. I’ve never really cared for the taste so I only have a little to drink every now and then. I’ve been to the homes of a few of my friends and family and I’ve noticed that they all have wine lying around for special occasions. If ever I want wine I usually have to go out and buy it that day. I even know a few people who have wine refrigerators in their homes. I definitely think those come in handy if you do a lot of entertaining and want to have wine nearby when you need it. I guess my idea of a wine refrigerator is a bottle of wine stored in the back of my refrigerator!

I need a job. Well, not right now but I definitely need to find one soon. I’ve been talking to my cousin about moving out of town by the end of this year and I’m curious as to what I can expect from the job market. The bad thing about me is that I’m not passionate about anything. The things that I am passionate about I can no longer do for a living. Graphic design is my first love but it has become too difficult to do that so there is no way I can make a living from it. I need to take some time and think about what really makes me happy. I’d settle for having a job like a futures broker or something similar but a job in design is what I would really love. Hopefully things might still work out in my favor!
