it's a job!

this has been in my head for awhile now. it's not toward anyone in particular. just something I'm sick of reading/seeing/hearing.
has anyone else noticed all these people who can't find a job? yeah, the job market sucks. BUT, try applying at target, walmart, gas stations, restaurants, Kmart, mall jobs etc etc etc. if you've been looking for months/years and are making 0 income. hello! these places provide an income while you search for that "better" job. my friend asked to borrow money for bills. she refuses to apply anywhere that is "below her status". asking to borrow $800 says they aren't. true?
when times are tough, a job's a job.

friday 5

5 things (not people) you couldn't live without:

1. AIR. yeah, it's pretty much needed.
2. food/water. see #1.
3. my phone. i love droids.
4. the house.
5. the vehicle.
6. oh and clothing. the whole jail/gross people out deal.

i can't help but be sarcastic about this. most "things" are material.

blogger problems

is anyone else not able to post comments on other blogger sites?  i tried on 2 that i follow over the past few days. says i need to sign in, then takes me back to my dashboard. annoying definitely.
and, i know, if you can post to this entry, it's a no. hee!

what next?

enjoy the small things. great saying. true. hopefully the big stuff isn't too bad.

last weekend, we went canoeing. seems like it's been forever since the last time. ever been in a canoe with a 4 yr old?we'll say it was an interesting start. but, ended up being really fun.
I'm off today. so, it's said 4 yr old and i. nasty weather. so, just watching a lot of movies at home. did brave the rain to get lunch.  who knows what's next.

technology

did you ever hit that point where you have to admit you're addicted to electronic/Internet/instant communication?

i did yesterday. my name's lex and i'm an addict. i prefer the term techno geek. had to run up to the store. literally 1 mile round trip and would be away from home for 15minutes. realized halfway that i'd forgot my phone. I ALMOST TURNED AROUND! ack! i didn't. but, the "what if someone texts me?" did cross my mind. pretty sad eh? but, i know i'm not alone.
then, there's the whole computer/internet deal.  did you ever think about how your must have suddenly is last years? what do you do? upgrade the old one? buy a new one? who knows. i own a desktop that literally has dust on it. i haven't used it in over a year. my main computer is a laptop. she's my girl. gets used daily. about a month ago, i saw a netbook on sale. figured when traveling it's light. then, see a great deal on a tablet  last week. "ooooh, that could fit in my bag and go everywhere". my phone does a lot of the same stuff. do i need 4 computers? hell no! it's the must have the latest thing. give it 3-4 months and it'll all be outdated.

i really do think it's an addiction. and, it's so common. when i was my oler son's age, i never thought to save up for the latest game system or tablet pc.

thought of the day

sometimes well enough is all you can get. it's called real life.

surgery done

well, 3 actually. hence why I've been quiet. ah the joys of dental issues.
