Its only SEPT!
Its not even the middle of September yet and we had to turn the heat on in the house! Well actually we started a wood fire. Just to get the dampness out of the house. I didnt do much last night, worked a little bit on my hardwood. What a stupid project I got myself into.  Anyway, then I made Waffles for the bf, he didnt want the whole grain ones. Then I made the whole grain ones for myself… I didn’t have much luck with my waffle iron… they were sticking like crazy, oh well I still was able to get 2 good ones out of it so thats what i had for breakfast this mornin!
I cut my fingers on a knife in the dish pan! It was not supposed to be in there!
I have an interview friday morning for an office job. I know nothing about the company. Its about 25 mins away from my house… which is like 20 mins longer than I drive now. lol The starting pay is only 10 cents more than I make now. But I dont get paid holidays or overtime where I am at now. I want to quit my current job, but sometimes I think I shouldnt cuz I can do what I want here…. but I cant handle it anymore.. the bosses are moron’s they dont understand what me & my co worker think would be better for the company…. I want a raise for all the work I have done to the new web site. www.abelmanclothing.com BUT NO! I cant even get a god damn quarter out of them! So here is the info on the place I have an interview:
OFFICE HELP WANTED! Main Street Presque Isle location. 8:00 - 4:30 Monday-Friday. Excellent phone & computer skills required. Must be an effective communicator. Every day is casual Friday, fun place to work. Resumes via mail, fax, or email to: Millennium Transportation. Box 244, Presque Isle, WI 54557. 715-686-2474 Fax.

Weekends suck
This was my weekend off and it was pretty much uneventful. The weather sucked so I didnt do much.
 Friday- worked until 5, went home change my clothes meet up with a friend at subway. I had a veggie salad. Then we walked 4 miles. Picked up Little Ceasers for the bf, went home watched a movie went to bed.
Sat- woke up at 6, didnt do much. at 10 i decided to take a ride 2 hrs to go shopping. I had a subway salad before I left my house ( i got one to go on friday night) then while shopping, I had subway again! lol I spent $500 bucks on nothing. I got a new purse, 4 new bras that i feel in love with from JCP. Then at Walmart - $200 bucks on grocery items & 100 bucks on non grocery items. Got home around 5, sat at home. didnt do much at all. I picked up pizza from Domino’s for the bf… AND ME! I can totally relate to Roni’s Pizza Addiction Post.
Sunday- woke up at the crack of dawn again. Make brocolli califlower salad, pizza pasta casserole, peperoni salad…. then Cleaned and rearranged the kitchen, went to dunhams and kmart with the bf, got home around 2. Was gonna walk with Lisa but it started to rain. so  we didnt get to walk until 6, in the meantime I made a cake for the bf. got back from walkin 3 miles, took a shower and then watched a movie. Then it was bed time! Weekend over… ![]()
Monday
Too much going on… so much running through my head. I dont think I am gonna get any excersize in today or tomorrow since I have to close the bar tonight, and open up at 8 tomorrow morning.  So I will make sure I eat good.
My parents left for vegas this morning… and all that means for me is more work. They own a bar and when they go out of town I get the pleasure of getting the closing shift & opening shift!
 My car is in the shop, wheel baring is shot only have 25,000 miles. Its a 2005 Ford Escape and I get a piece of shit 98 sable for a loaner… They just better get it fixed and there better be no charge.
 I finally got a hold of the lady that refinishes hardwood floors in my area. She charges around 2.50 a square foot.. which would make my living room cost $600 bucks! Which I can not afford. So I have no idea what I am going to do. I already ripped up the old carpet. Maybe I’ll start up a collection basket.Â

HELP
Ok, so i started to rip out the carpet from my living room. THERE IS BEAUTIFUL HARDWOOND UNDERNEATH. … its gonna be lots of work but I am ready to it…. I bought mineral spirits to help remove the glue… hopefully that will work.
any suggestions?
I am also going to be ripping down the paneling and drywalling the living room this winter. I live on a very tight budget and can only afford to do one room at a time. So I am going to start with the living room. I want to do the kitchen but that is gonna be so costly by the time the cupboards and such.
Here is my question. I got cranberry curtains for xmas last year that were not cheap so I am going to have to still use them. What color area rug should IÂ get for the floor and what color should I paint the walls? (when they are ready for paint)
