Gum and money

April 9, 2008 at 3:35 pm | In Uncategorized | 2 Comments

I knew that today was going to be a good day when I put my hands in my pockets and found two pieces of washed and dried orange Trident gum (and no, it hadn’t been chewed) and like $23! I never, ever have cash on me, so it was mega exciting to stumble across this “free” money. Do you know what this means? I won’t have to stop in at Walgreens for some random purchase and get cash back because I’m too lazy to go to the bank. I just have to keep from spending it on something small and random that I usually wouldn’t buy because the total is too little to put on a debit card. That shouldn’t be too hard because I would blow it on convenience store Diet Dr. Pepper’s and other crap that I absolutely don’t need. I mean I love my Diet Dr. Pepper, but I don’t need it. Imagine all the cash I would save if I saved that $1.19 when I got thirsty. I might give that a shot.

So we went running after the show again yesterday. Kellie couldn’t go, so it was just me and the guys. Sort of. I couldn’t keep up.  My legs kept cramping up and my right leg went back and forth between cramps and falling asleep. So I did more of a walk/run at my own pathetic pace. I played softball last night despite my stupid cramping calf. We won, but I’m pretty sure it wasn’t because of me. My batting was awful. But I did get a run, RBI and a walk. Not too too horrible, I guess,.

Is it the sign of a problem when I can’t sleep in my own bed? I don’t know what it is but I sleep better anywhere than in my bed. This upsets me because I doubt the bed is paid off at this point and I’d at least like to love it while I’m paying for it. Is that too much for me to ask myself? I guess on the up side I am also still paying off my couch and I am able to sleep on it. In fact there has yet to be a time that I haven’t laid down on my couch and fell asleep so mega hard that I couldn’t make myself get up. I think 3 of the past 5 Friday nights have been spent with me passed out on the couch. I will go down for a little nap and wake up 13 hours later. I sleep through the alarm and then when I do finally hear it I just reset it for a later time. It’s kind of sad. It is officially known that if I don’t text for four hours solid it’s because I’m out on the couch.

I’m kind of excited about summer coming so quickly because of the concerts coming through town. Not so much to go to the concerts, but because of the potential to get them in studio. So far I’m falling way short, but I’m working on it. If I could get Jordin Sparks to come in and sing No Air to me, I would be so happy. I gotta get back on that.
