Hump Day Is Over Rated

Well it is hump day, or almost the end of it actually and all I have to say is thank god it is almost done. Today was a day from hell with the web store. No orders to speak of as a matter a fact looks everyone is to afraid to buy anything anymore. Let me just tell you about my trip to the grocery store. I just went day before yesterday and I got everything I needed and checked out, I was in total SHOCK. My bill was 134.00 for 4 bags of stuff. And that was with no meat! I just knew they had to have made an error so I am in the car telling my son, get out your cell phone and ad that stuff up. Something is wrong there is just NO WAY that could be 134.00, I didn't even get a beer or a bottle of wine. He added it up and it was right. So after I told everyone I can't believe the cost of my grocery bill I was watching the news. And wouldn't you know it, "Grocery's are up by 25% over the last 2 months". Well what the heck is a person supposed to do? I am now not only gonna drink all day (will have to brew my own hooch) I guess I am gonna have to grow and raise my own food.

Shit I will turn in to Jacklyn a hillbilly. There has to be another way. Got any ideas? I am open to suggestions.

The rice patties are looking pretty good right about now.

Let's Get The day off right

So sitting here discussing with one of my best friends on just how messed up the economy is and how everyone is going out of business and food is high and gas is high and so on and so on. We were thinking of what ways we could make some real money. Real Estate is out, E-commerce is out, and hell no not going to be a grocery store so we think we have come up with a sure fire solution and way to make money. Rice - we are going to grow rice. I can see it now all we need to do is find a place to grow it, oh okay we found that, perfect, we are all ready on our way. Well we have a tractor so we got that covered, of course the cost of gas to get it from one state to the next is going to be what about 500.00 now a days. Okay we can scrap that together. So we got land, we have a tractor oh we need water. Well hell yeah the property has a well, perfect because who can afford the water bill. Now we just have to figure out how we are going to do. I can see it now her and i getting up early in the morning with our huge rice picking hats on, going out into this marshy mess to only say "hey you wanna have a cocktail this can wait". We should be able to harvest a bucket full each day, on a good day. Damn just found out it is to dry to grow rice on the land we were talking about.



Maybe we should really just become authorities on how to drink your way to a stress free environment! I wonder if there is a call for that? You roll out of bed, try not to hit your face on the end table, make your way to the bathroom. Oh my head hurts a bit from last night so make sure to grab the aspirin! Now do your business, I don't think you need to brush your teeth though all the booze is going to kill anything anyway! LOL!!! Now work your way into the kitchen, don't walk into anything, be in touch with your surroundings, don't touch your surroundings by walking into them! Now pull out your favorite spirit, just the sound of that makes it seem okay doesn't it? Pour a nice stiff cocktail. Now sit back and relax, you deserve it! Let all the stress roll off your shoulders! that's it now you can go about your day and continue with 1 cocktail per hour! This should do fine! LOL Now from all my friends here are their favorite Cocktail Recipes!


Laura

my favorite drink is Kettle, Soda, Lemon, however, if you do a couple of shots of Sambuca that always helps! and lately I have begun drinking Proseca (italian sparkling wine but not champagne) in the morning on Sunday's just to start the day off well... yikes!

Jacklyn

Tequila, lots and lots of shots of Tequila. According to Jacklyn if you take a few shots of Tequila and call her later EVERYTHING will be fine!

Mickey

Bud Light, you can never have to many only to few. Husband pisses you off have a beer, kids piss you off have a beer, relatives piss you off have a beer, utility companies piss you off have a beer! Basically just have a beer!

Cindy

Diet Coke and Rum, yes diet coke gotta watch the calories! Have about 6 of those and you wont give a cap about anything! You can even mix it up a bit, have a cold add some vitamin C drink rum and fruit juice!

Okay back to reality for a little while, have to work on my website and figure out why in the hell no one on this planet is ordering!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tuesday and still feeling sick

Another day of this horrible cold thing that is going around and I am getting a bit pissy about it! I am feeling like someone should just come and shoot me! I have gotten some great advice from great friends. Tequila, Vodka, any booze should do the trick and kill anything living inside me! Maybe I should try that, only problem is I am to damn sick to get up!

Will write more tomorrow, I am going to come up with a master plan on how to get rich quick!

Monday the day from hell

So I got up as usual today only to find my throat was sore and my nose was stuffy and a felt like I had a fever. But hey that's okay especially when you have kids and work to do. As I stumbled into the kitchen to make my coffee, the first thing I do every morning, I stubbed my toe on a box of trash I have been asking my son to take out for over 2 weeks now. I felt like crap and I wanted to just crawl right back into bed. But no can do when you run a little Internet business on the side. So off to my always cluttered desk I went. Turn on the computer a wow what do you know everyone starts to Instant Message me, hey where are the orders, hey where is my order, hey we have a problem. Hey no duh we have a problem I just freaking got up, I feel like crap and I don't even want to be here doing this anymore. Yes we have a problem. So I started my day as like I always do, check the store, yes we have a few orders, nothing to write home about. In all reality I could have just gone back to bed. I mean after all over the weekend the site was down anyways and so was Google so not only could I get no orders, I had to advertise to get NO orders. But that's a whole different rant! Anyway back to my story. So the day went by pretty uneventful for a Monday really, so I suppose I should be thankful for that much. A few problems here and there, nothing out of the norm. As the day progressed I felt even worse then when I got up. And everything I seemed to do just turned to crap. You ever have one of those days? Well needless to say my business is slow, and i mean slow, what's the problem all day long I am stressing over it. Where are the order show am I going to pay my bills, where can i file a BK, who can take the dogs, where is the husband, why am I sick, what did I do to deserve all this? All these thoughts running through my pounding head. Then it hits me, I know I was a total Jack Ass in my last life, so in this life I am getting the royal screw. That must be it. I started to think, why am I wasting my time, life is so short. I needed to find something better to focus on so here it is a blog, where I can vent all my frustrations and then some. Maybe find some humors things to talk about.

So it's 4:30am on Tuesday morning and I can't sleep no matter what I try. Wonder if it has anything to do with the extra Strong Starbucks coffee I made myself at 10:00pm. Duh ya think? That and the fact that I am so stressed out I can't even see straight. I mean what does a person have to do to make a living these days? I see these people who do nothing and I mean nothing and get money falling out of the ski, what the heck?

So today I need to be up in 3 hours and you can bet I will be a real princess to deal with. LOL i feel bad for anyone who wants to talk to me. I don't even want to talk to me right now. I have just had one of those days, you ever have one where you just wish you could get rid of it completely?

Okay enough about that tomorrow I will let you know just how great my Tuesday is!

Talk soon.
