A year ago you could have seen the TV show “Reba” staring Reba McEntire at least 5 times each night on various cable channels. No I can’t find it anywhere. There is something about that fiery red head that really entertained me year after year. This hit sitcom lasted several years and the reruns were just as funny. I miss it.
Tired
I’m getting so burnt out taking care of the farm and the old homestead that I not going to picky about anything the family wants to do about vacations and what not. I’ll just be grateful to get out of here and all the responsibilities that have been dished out for me this past year. I never thought that I’d find myself in this type of situation, but I’m giving it my best shot and trying to make the best of it. But all work and no play makes for a very tired old man!
All Work and No Play
My older sister is making plans to take the whole family to Florida this summer. She received a handsome refund check from the I.R.S. this year due to the tax credits and the stimulus package from President Obama and wants to take everyone away from all the hustle and bustle that live dishes out to each and every one of us. I’m up for that!
She has been researching Disney Tickets on the Internet, getting a head start on it all and taking her time in an effort to find the best deals. The Internet has brought making such a task a much easier one to tackle, but it still takes take to gather the information and digest it all. She is utilizing Orlandofuntickets.com right now and is sending out massive emails to the whole family, asking questions, picking every one’s brains on what they would like to do and what they would like to see while down there. Her kids have never been to a Walt Disney Theme Park and are anxious to meet Mickey Mouse and all their favorite Disney characters and want to spend a few days visiting there. While the older family members would like to visit the Animal Kingdom and the Epcot Center while we are down there.
Movies
Have a chance to go to the movies. Not sure which one I want to pay to see on the big screen. I really want to watch Avatar, but should I see the 3 d version or the regular version? Should I pay extra to watch it on the IMAX screen or just the regular version? I can’t decide. If I just watch the regular version and save my money, I can probably save enough from this one to pay for a second regular movie next weekend.
Approaching Holidays
With the holidays fast approaching us, it makes me wonder what all I am in store for. This will be such a bittersweet time for the family with out our folks being around to celebrate them all with us. Last year was the first year without them and it was a rough time all the way around. I can only hope that this year people will be able to lighten up a bit, all things considered.
Expense Issues
This year has been so very difficult for so many people and it’s a shame that things aren’t picking up fast enough for most. I’m afraid that this year’s holiday season will fall short, big time, of so many people’s expectations. Retail is going to be crazy with sales and promotions trying to squeeze any dollars that they possibly can out of “Joe Public” and people are going to be looking for bargains more than ever. I’m glad that I don’t have a large amount of people on my list that I need to buy for this Christmas and I plan on doing as much purchasing online as I can.
There are so many times that we need some additional cash in between paychecks. And the need generally arises quickly so it’s good to know that there are places like second wallet cash advance that you can turn to and receive a cash loan within an hour’s time. At eSecond Wallet, they offer a no faxing and no credit check cash advance to provide financial aid to folks that are in need of some fast cash. I’m sure that Christmas will be one of those times of need for plenty of the general public.
Michael Jackson
I had a few moments last night that I was able to watch the news. Too bad it was still full of stories concerning the recent death of Michael Jackson, the king of pop! It seems that they are deeming his death a homicide and it looks like we will be hearing still more about this issue for a very long time.
Summer Reruns
Not that I get much opportunity to watch much television these days, but when I do get a chance I really hate it when I tune into a summer rerun. This year there promises to be several new series that I’ve been seeing and hearing about. It will be refreshing.
ATMs and Their Fees
I was in hopes that the commercial that my bank has been showing concerning their new “no ATM fees” would apply to my account. Wrong. You have to have a $5000 balance in order to receive this new perk. Like it is going to happen any time soon here!
Summer Time Blues
The days are all ready getting shorter, summer is on it’s way out. Way too much to do with so little time. I miss my life!
