My sister and I are scavenging through our cabinets today, searching for food to eat. If you’ve got problems like we do, you might consider Same Day Payday Loan: Our paychecks are late, (So tired of it, btw, but what can you do?) and we’re racking our brains on how we’re gonna take care this. With al the rainstorms, bugs have been filing into our house, and we’ve finally seen fleas again, thanks to trying to move piles of dead branches from winter.

Between the bug infestations and the empty fridge, we’re up against a wall, here. I mean, we’re good at this stuff, but there’s a limit to how much you can stretch a buck during a recession. When your all hungry or when the bugs come after you, (and they will) you can get an advance on your paycheck fast and without a headache. You apply online, your credit history is a non-issue, and they only ask a few personal information questions.

So ever since we ran out of food, I’ve been craving it far too much. I know it’s like a caveman -turned fat chick thing, but if there’s no food in the house, I crave it, but if the fridge is fully stocked, I’ll only eat if I’m really bored. I hate to sleep or eat until I can’t, how screwy is that? Plus I’m still worried as all get-out about the bug problem, and not because I’m worried about bugs or problems. I just suck as waiting for anything un-fun, I get anxiety attacks. Plus, the last time we bombed for bugs, (summer of ‘06) Faith and I went through a year’s worth of constant nightmares, to the point where I’m so traumatized that I think history will repeat itself, even though that almost impossible. I’m so depressed, I hope I can get it together soon.

I blogged about The Alzheimer’s Association when my step-father’s health started to decline, and I’ve always believed very strongly that Alzheimer’s was a treatable disease if we could just find the cure. The Alzheimer’s Memory Walk is our country’s largest event to raise awareness and funds for the care, support and research of Alzheimer’s, calling on volunteers of all ages to help in the fight.

The Alzheimer’s Association has walks staged in more than 600 communities, and a Memory Walk is usually a 2-3 mile walk, held during a weekend morning in the fall, giving people the chance to walk with purpose– to move the nation and walk towards an Alzheimer’s-free world. That’s why it’s so important to get people involved now in the battle for a cure — thanks to The Alzheimer’s Association Memory Walk, Alzheimer’s could be a thing of the past. The next person you save could be someone you love, so sign up to be a team captain today.

This sucks so much. Faith and I have been plagued by bugs, and soon, maybe tomorrow, we’re gonna have to bug-bomb, then spend our time and money trying to clean it up. I hate this so much, especially since the last time we had to bug-bomb, we lost everything. It shouldn’t really be a big deal, but I’ve been having panic attacks remembering what it felt like, and a general depression settled over me. Well, at least we got a book today. It looked like it was gonna be some fruity wiccan BS, but I really do like it, so yay? …Ah, pooh, I;m so depressed ad tired, I just want it all over with so we can go on living already.

So my town’s local K-12 is as cheap as everything else in town. People in the mid-west, almost more than even in the south, really don’t put enough money and effort into education, so I was kinda glad to hear about Trillion, the largest national service provider in the country for fixed wireless and fiber wide area networks for K-12 school districts. They don’t start billing the school until the WAN and/or VoIP service is installed, and because they offer their networks as a kind of public service, the school districts just pay a monthly fee and Trillion takes care of the rest. That’s really decent, yes?

So I’m considering buying the DVD box set of Keen Eddie when I get my paycheck. I’ll have more than enough and I’ve wanted it for nearly five years. But, I know I should I get something paractical, like groceries or something. What to do? I guess I’ll cross that bridge when I come to it, and other cliches.

So I read an old At World’s End article yesterday, and it had the cutest quote from Gore Verbinski discribing Captain Jack better than any I’ve heard before: “He’s a fly you can’t swat. The booger that’s stuck to your finger, and you flick it and it’s on your other finger. And you try to flick it again, and he keeps coming back. He’s pesky in that way. In that final battle with Davy Jones, he just keeps showing up.”

So neat! Park West is holding cruise ship art auctions for Park West Art Gallery, a fantastic gallery that holds fine art auctions all over the United States and Canada. According to their blog, they’re featuring Itzchak Tarkay’s serigraphs right now. They’re so beautiful, and in this mesmerizing, almost spooky kind of way. I think my favorite is “On the Scene,” but it’s hard to choose.

Park West Art Gallery also features the work of Thomas Kinkade, one of my favorite mainstream artists. There’s something about the richness and warmth of color in his painting that makes me want to live in those places. “Everett’s Cottage” is my hand’s down favorite of his, and has been ever since I saw it nearly ten years ago on a home shopping channel. It’s really the berry tones that do it for me.

So Faith got a case of Maxxed Energy Pops in the mail today, which are very cute! They taste a bit like Gatorade, they’re green and have black sticks, (that’s the surge color scheme, if you remember correctly) but they come in narrow pop-top cardboard cans to make them look like energy drinks, which seems like a waste of packaging to me.

On another note, Faith and I will be ordering our Schwann’s today, which I’m thrilled about, because we’ve been hungry for so long it almost hurts. In fact, it does hurt if you count our stomach troubles and dizzy spells. Here’s hopin’ things get better!

So, remember I was talking about ZenniOptical.com? They sell these really cute prescription glasses online, some as low as eight bucks a pair. Well, now you might’ve seen Zenni on Fox News. Good for them! Zenni has a huge selection, anything you could find at a regular shop and more, and the frames are really beautiful.

Plus the fact that they sell online is great for me in particular. So, wasting away in the boonies, not a lot in the way of nutrition, my vision gets worse everyday and I’m always bumping into things. I don’t know if it’s my eyes, my circulation or what, but there’s no eye doctor out here and even if I got myself some prescription glasses on a rare trip out of town, there would be no local place to fill the prescription if my glasses broke (something that happens to me all the time with sunglasses).

So we got to see two movies this weekend: The Greatest Game Ever Played and Letter From an Unknown Woman, both beautiful films. I was amazed that the former got such terrible reviews and that I’d never heard of it before. Disney must’ve ate it or something — anyway, it was lovely, and the fact that the events in it were true was even more amazing. I highly recommend it to anyone, and Letter From an Unknown Woman. So sad and romantic, you know from the beginning what to think of it.
