Day 052 / 365 - Guitar Hero & Newsboy Beanie

#052

I finally went and picked up my paycheck today.  After that, I cashed in on a deal I just couldn't resist.  I headed over to GameStop and bought Guitar Hero: Aerosmith + Wired Guitar Controller for $10.  Yep, that's it!  Game = $9.98, Guitar = $.01.  I mostly wanted it for the guitar, but the game makes the deal even more slick!  This is only good for XBOX 360.  Gotta love it!  Now Peter & I can battle it out on GH II, GH III, GH Aerosmith, & Rock Band!  Even the worker was surprised to see it so cheap, "Wow.. that's a really good deal!"

After that I went to Target and browsed around for a bit.  I needed to get out of the house.  I almost made it out of the store without buying anything, but then I saw this newsboy beanie as I was about to head out.  Typical.  So I wore it around a bit while I contemplated on buying it or not.  I ended up buying it of course 'cause I've been wanting one for so long!  Haha.  No more spending money for a while.  Seriously.

Day 046 / 365 - New Pair Of Jeans

#046

I did some website work today and watched the last episode of "Boys Over Flowers."  It's done, finished, fin.... SAD!  The last 2 episodes were pretty weak though compared to all the previous ones.  I find that a lot of Korean drama shows have lack-luster endings.  I still loved the series a lot though.  Hopefully Kim Hyun Joong will act in another series sometime soon :)

I got really bored as late afternoon approached.  I've been pretty productive lately and find that I've been getting bored quicker after I'm done with what I'm doing.  I need to start finding things to occupy myself.  A part-time job maybe?  Yes, I definitely need another one.  In the meantime, Peter & I went to the mall tonight in search for... who knows what since I told him I was really bored.  I ended up buying a new pair of jeans from PacSun for $9.99.  Gotta love them deals!  Peter bought some jeans & a hoodie for himself too.  The photo above was taken while I was sitting, waiting for Peter in Zumiez.  After that we had some Chinese food for dinner & got 1/2 off pizza.  The lady asked me if I was Chinese, lol.  The last time, the guy that works there asked me if I was, Thai.  Still waiting for that 'mainlander' to correctly guess my ethnicity.  Haha.

We then made our way to Wal*mart to get some things.  Peter bought me the Twilight DVD.  I thought it was funny since all the DVDs were behind a glass case & I had to get it behind the register and pay for it there too.  Peter finally got an iron and an ironing board.  He also bought some nice plates for Sushi 1 for really cheap!  Ok, time to play some Call of Duty 4.

Day 038-40 / 365 - A Productive Day

Day #040   Wednesday, March 25, 2009

Last night, I had to get up for a little bit because my coughing was a little out of control.  I was falling asleep while on the computer though and ended up falling asleep in the living room till 5:30AM.  YAY for 8 hours of sleep!!  

& So began my productive day.  When I woke up, I started folding ALLLLL the laundry that's been collecting for WEEKS now and put it all away.  The only thing left is socks, but that's a quick fix.  I swept the kitchen/bathroom up.  Put the rest of the dishes into the dishwasher and will wash them once it's full later today.  Then I vacuumed!  I had to empty the canister about 4 times 'cause there's so much dog hair.  There's just sooo much hair.... it drives me crazy!  I totally needed this.  It feels much much cleaner now.

After all of that, I sat down and had myself a cup of cocoa.  This was the most work I've done in weeks.  I'm FINALLY starting to really feel like I'm getting over this cough.  Hopefully that didn't jinx it!  Now I just have some website work to do and I'm thinking of baking cupcakes later.  

I just got this e-mail from my Direct Marketing professor.  I guess we're in the DMEF newsletter.  I'm like... the shortest one in the whole group!  At least I'm standing next to Jay Leno.  Too bad the pic wasn't bigger.  Oh, I also got a surprise win in the mail today.  It's my biggest win this month (it's been a super slow month sweepstakes wise!) so I'll take it!  Not really my kind of movie, so I'm giving it to Peter :)

Win(s):  Role Models DVD from DVDlounge.com

Day #039   Tuesday, March 24, 2009

Peter & I were supposed to go to Denver today and have dinner with his family.  I was getting ready and when Peter got here he said "they forgot."  Shoot, I was already 95% ready and now... nowhere to go.  I was pretty delirious at this point since I was running on 2 hours of sleep (not continuous either!).  Yes, damn the coughing!  Damn it to hell.

Anyway, instead of making the long drive down we headed out for a few before I fell asleep (it was bound to happen!) so the day wouldn't be a total waste.  We did some shopping and I bought the little pieces above.  A pair of sweatpants, a dress (bubble dress, i think?), & a nice top.  I needed something nice to wear on the days we go down to Denver and I'm quite satisfied with my purchases.  It's been a while since I've bought something for myself :)  Best part, everything was only $20.00!

After shopping we went to Buffalo Wild Wings for a late lunch/early dinner.  After we got in, sure enough the crowd followed us and BBW was packed within 15 minutes of being there.  It's always empty when we enter a restaurant, but once we're there a whole crowd of people come.  I made sure to get in my orders for .40 cent wings before everyone!

Shortly after we got home, I knocked the f&ck out!  Hallelujah!  ANNND I was actually able to sleep for 5/6 hours straight for the first time in a week.  

Day #038   Monday, March 23, 2009

At Patrick's Irish Pub/Bar.  The home of $3.00 Irish Car Bombs, all day, everyday.  No drinks for me though, I was stuck coughing myself silly.  No surprise there!  Monday was Owen's 6th year serving as a U.S. Marine and hence officially marking the end of his contract with the government.  This should be a cause for celebration no doubt!  He served his time on U.S. soil and in Iraq.  Owen-- a well deserved JOB WELL DONE!

Day 016 / 365 -Wal*Mart & The Dark Knight

#016

Attack of the coupons!  Yeah, so in a case of extreme laziness, I didn't post this yesterday!  My bad.  I did take the photo last night though before Peter & I's trip to Wal*mart.  We got a bunch of stuff, a lot of it candy & junk food ;)  Just look at the coupons!  Lol.

FREE:

• (2) 2 Liters of Dr. Pepper (Diet or Regular)
  
• (1) Nabisco Cracker Product up to $4.49
  
• (1) Kraft Cheese Product up to $3.99
  
• (1) Planters Snack Product up to $4.99
  
• (2) Pace Products up to $4.00
  
• (1) $1.00 off Campbell Product
  

Yeah, I love coupons!  Too bad the lady didn't know what the hell she was doing.  She totally entered the coupons wrong and entered their values BEFORE taxes and didn't use the full value of the coupon.  UGH.  Oh well... Peter was already irritated, so we just left.  Not too shabby though.  I wish we planned out going grocery shopping though instead of going spontaneously.  I would've printed out more coupons.  Haha.

After that, we watched "The Dark Knight."  It was my first time watching it and I thought it was pretty good.  I just thought it was really strange watching Heath Ledger in his final performance.  He was a great actor and had so much ahead of him still :(  Ah well, it was a good movie.
