Most Depressing Day of the Year
Leave a Comment
I heard on the radio today that January 18th is the most depressing day of the year. Due to the extra christmas baggage, weight and debt finally catching up to peopel, I guess this day has been deemed the most depressing of the year.
When I had heard this I actually chuckled. I was having a great day and I still am! But for a moment I actually thought…”hmmmm, what can I be depressed about?”
And then as my mind kept moving I decided that that is exactly why we have ‘The Most Depressing Day of the Year’….because rather than thinking abotu what we can be thankful for and how we are blessed, we think of all the crap that has happened to us and then we dwell on that. Believe me, I could think of a thing or two to be depressed about; stretch marks, debt, losing a good friend, being serperated from great friends, etc…
But there are so so so many things to be thankful for and by choosing to focus on those, I am choosing to focus on the future. Sure life gets me down sometimes, but that just means that we change some things to fix our little messes. Im not sure when the happiest day of the year is, but Im going to do some research and if there isn’t one yet, I will start one. Look for it on your 2010 calendars everyone!

My secret obsession
Leave a Comment
I have an obsession with lists. It’s a deep rooted infactuation with getting things done. I have 3 different iPhone apps for lists and numerous note pads around the house.
Each day I make a list of things I need to get done an it is not often that I stop before each thing is checked off. On top of thAt each night I make a list of tasks to accomplish the next day.
Often the best part of my day revolves around checking something off of my list.

Interesting facts about McDonalds
Leave a Comment
Over the last week, I have had this constant love-hate relationship with Maccers. The smell is so tempting, but the after effects are so devistating. And like many others, I keep going back.
I decided to do a little bit of research into why the world is so infactuated with this fast food mothership. What keeps us saying ” Im lovin it” when deep down inside we know we will end up hating it within a few hours? Many of these things may or may not be true, but the WILL be interesting.
| McDonald’s sell more than 1/3 of all the French fries sold in restaurants in the U.S. each year. | |
| McDonald’s restaurants will buy 54,000,000 pounds of fresh apples this year. Two years ago, McDonald’s purchased 0 pounds of apples. This is attributed to the shift to more healthy menu options. | |
| Nearly one in eight workers in the US has at some time been employed by McDonald’s. | |

10 Things to avoid at a Job Interview
Leave a Comment
A really good friend of mine has a job interview this week. I wish I could be there to take her for a pre-game coffee and prep her with insane doses of laughter to ease the nerves, But alas I cannot. I scoured the internet for the worst possible things you could say/do at a job interview, but I just couldnt find that list that made me laugh so hard I thought I would go into premature labour. So I made my own…
1. “Excuse me sir, you have a large bug crawling up your neck”…(in reference to his mole)
2. Dont fart and then make a lame reference like “Whoa, got a serious case of the beer farts” or ” You smelt it you delt it” or my favorite this week “…Duck season…”
3. Do not fake an accent….although it would be hilarious if you were the interviewer.
4. Do not wear your tightest fitting jeans and go for pre-interview McDonalds…I fear this could result in a ” Ma’am, do you mind if I pop a button”?
5. Try not to make any reference to your birth control usage.
6. If you are going to do yoru research on teh company ahead of time….make sure it is the right company.
7. If you have a secret strategy…make it really good.
8. If you add fake references/lies into your resumee, make it believable….LMAO
9. Try not to use texting language in verbal responses. EX. “Well, judging by your experience I think you would excel in this position” ” OMG, I totally knew u wud say that, LMAO!”
10. Dont picture your boss naked. And try not to think of sexual connotations as they speak.
Do Top 40 artists write thier own Lyrics?
Leave a Comment
My guess would be yes…and I think I have some pretty good evidence of that. Judging by these hilarious, but ridiculous lyrics, I would guess they make this stuff up when they are on some potent drug of choice.
1. ” some body call 911, shorty’s got a fire burning on the dance floor..” – Sean kingston
2. “Lets have some fun, this beat is sick, I wanna take a ride on your disco stick” -Lady Gaga
3. “Been at it for hours…I know you thirsty . You kiss me so sweetly…taste just like Hershey’s” -Jeremiah
I think that prooves my point, but if I need a couple more I will list some others: Nickleback (Photograph), Black Eyed Peas (Boom Boom Pow), etc… Am I forgetting an others? Let me know.
What I learned about being a Garage Sale-er
Leave a Comment
At the end of May ( I know it seems so long ago) I decided to take my younger brothers on a roadtrip. On the advice of a friend we themed our trip around garage sales. We made it a point to stop in each town we had to drive through on our 4 hour trip, and hit at least one garage sale. We had some epic steals, like a dager ($1), N64 (14.45), gravy boat ($.10) and a sweet gym bag ($.50), but more than that we came out with some tricks of the trade. Here is what we learned on our maiden garage saling voyage.
1. Start early before the crowds come….and before they have a chance to actually price things. You just suggest a price and they go for it.
2. Change up your bills. When you walk in with a 2 there is no way they are going to lower thier price. BUT, when you change your twenty at the servo around the corner for all loonies or lower, you hit jackpot. People see you counting out your last few coins and they think..”man, this kid really wants it, I might as well give it to him”… and there you go.
3. Hit up the big ones first. Chances are the small G. Sales are just some bored old suburban couple wanting to get rid of a few pieces of Junk. The bigs ones are clean sweeps. You find everything from paper clips to basketball hoops. Also, they are more likely to be cheaper because they want to liquidate as much as possible.
4. This might seem obvious, but you gotta dig! How else would have we found the ancient chinese dagger? It was hidden under a couple of cowboy hats and a coloring book.
5. And last, but not least…Sometimes you are incline to by absolute crap, just because it is so cheap. It is important to take a friend along to talk you out of this. You dont want to be the poor sucker having a garage sale next year selling all the stuff you picked up this year.
So, there you have it. Tales of a Garage Saler.
