Personal loans

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

It’s no surprise that money stresses me out and in large part due to back debt from stupid choices I’ve made since I turned 18. I’ve learned a lot and at times I’ve really considered and researched into maybe getting one Personal Loan so that I can pay off this crap and then have one solid, on time, payment that I can deal with. The only issue I might see with that is getting approved for it since right now I have so much negative stuff on my report. If I can’t catch up myself and get the companies to work with me then I’ll search further into it. I just hope I can do this before the summer is over. It’d be such a relief.

Swimsuit searching

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I looked in walmart today for a swimsuit and I cannot, for the life of me, find ANYTHING that is remotely decent. I also don’t have $50-$75 to spend either. Mine ended up left in West Virginia when I came back to NY and my uncle claimed that I didn’t leave anything. I’ve been searching ebay (Obviously, NWT ONLY) and maybe finding one or two things but meh… any suggestions for plus size swimsuits that won’t cost me an arm and a leg? I have to get one by June 1st when we go to Splash Lagoon or I can’t go in the water. Hopefully I can find something before then.

Buying used cars

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I was thinking about my bills today and sorting all that crap out because I do everyday even when things have already been established. I’m just a worrier by nature. I also determined today that I want to fix my jimmy so I can have my own vehicle to drive wherever I please without coordinating with mom’s schedule or hear griping because I want to go over to visit a friend. It’s nice to have that freedom. I had it for about 2 years and then I took my truck off the road and now I feel restrained again. It needs 2 fenders, 2 doors, a hood and clip, and a sensor or something underneath the hood. It shouldn’t cost TOO much. I just have some weird emotional attachment to that thing. I’d rather fix it than get something else.

Most people actually recommend instead of buying a new car you ought to look into used cars because as soon as a car is driven off of the lot it loses value a great deal. You can also save a few thousands dollars by getting a car a few years old. You don’t always NEED that brand spanking new car. You could also get one through a private dealer and get an even better deal than the dealers will offer. You can also utilize the resources available on the internet to do a search for the year, make, and model of your phone that you’re looking into buying. Of course, when buying a used car, make sure you do research and investigate so that you know you’re not getting ripped off. You could find your next favorite car this way. I intend to once my jimmy finally decides that it doesn’t want to be nice to me anymore and dies for good.

Trying to fight the urge to sleep

Thursday, May 1st, 2008

I’m staying up way too late tonight and I don’t like it but I don’t think I have an option really. I have to work from 11pm-7am tomorrow *Friday night* so I figure stay up super late tonight, sleep in REALLY late tomorrow, so I can make it through work tomorrow. Seems easy enough, right? Not really. It’s midnight and I’m drowsy already. Usually I can withstand way longer but tonight I’m having massive issues. It could be because I’m extremely warm and I get sleepy like this OR it could be because I drank like 4 winecoolers and got a bit tipsy. Either/or I guess. It doesn’t take much to make me feel a bit loopy. Maybe I’ll try 3am before I knock myself out. If I can stay in bed until 1 or 2 I should be good until 7am tomorrow. Wish me luck!
