Pickle In Your Pocket

I forgot to mention at the new job Ill be working security in a casino. WHich means I’ll be surrounded by smokers, bleck. Hopefully I won’t get hooked on the second hand smoke or else I’ll have to invest in nicorette and those electronic cigarettes to kick the habit. T would probably string me up by my balls if I started smoking. That doens’t sound too fun so I think I’ll be good and refrain .

I start my new job on Sunday. Sunday night that is. I’ll be working the graveyard shift which will be a huge change from the nine to five schedule I’m used to. It should be pretty fun though. I think they’re giving me a Sunday-Thursday rotation so I’ll at least get to have Friday and Saturdays with the wifey and friends. And as T keeps reminding me, this isn’t forever. Still, I hope the job turns out to be something I can do for at least the next six months or so, while I wait for Cal Fire’s hiring season.

One of the perks to getting married, besides being with the love of my life, is saving money and discounts. We’ve been looking at auto insurance quotes to see if having one joint account will save us cash versus each having our own insurance with two companies. It’s kind of a pain in the ass because every insurance company has different coverage. It should all be the same don’t you think? So we can compare, apples to apples as the annoying insurance commercial says on tv. I hate that commercial, but I hope we do save some cash soon!

T and I just registered for our wedding this past weekend. It wasn’t nearly as bad as I thought it would be. T gave me the scan gun and we got to run around the store scanning the stuff we want. It was almost like a free shopping spree, except we didn’t get to take anything home. We picked out everything from new towels, to the color of tile we want in our future home. Luckily T and I have the same taste and we didn’t register for flowery sheets or anything else disgusting like that. Hopefully we get some gifts for the wedding, woot woot!

Being stuck at home waiting for my new job to start I’ve had a lot of time to research things online. The more I think about it, the more I think owning a ranch would really suit me. I would love to buy an old work truck and fit it with truck accessories for the farm life. I could raise cattle or sheep and just live the simple life. Maybe someday T and I will move to Wyoming or something and live on a ranch. That would be sweet!

Today I was bored so I went through our external hard drive where T keeps all of our pictures. It amazes me that she takes so many. They were great to look through, and some really funny ones in there. I always act like I don’t want her to take them, but I’m glad she takes so many pictures. Maybe I’ll go through them and post a few to share. I think I know what to get T next year for Christmas-a nice camera. She’s been wanting one and hopefully by then I’ll be able to afford to get her one she deserves.

I don’t know if it’s the weather or what, but I’ve been coughing up all kinds of junk like I’ve got mesothelioma or something. I think it’s all the rain and not being as active as I normally am, but I feel like I have a bunch of fluid in my chest. Hopefully it goes away soon and I don’t have to go to the doctor.

Lil T has been non stop about our wedding since we got engaged. I shouldn’t be surprised, she gets excited about stuff like this. I’m excited too, but not really about all the girlie planning stuff. Just tell me where to be and I’ll be there. But I am happy to plan the honeymoon. I’m just glad T is so much like me and doesn’t like crowds. We don’t plan on going on any Disney vacations, we’re going to Mexico instead, to an all inclusive resort in Cozumel. We might even opt for the couples only resort, where we don’t have to worry about kids running around and being noisy. It’s too bad we have to wait until next year to go. I say screw the wedding, let’s just get married in the courthouse and go NOW!

It’s been crazy stormy here in Northern California. I love the cold weather but the rain makes it hard to do anything. Cooped up here in the house with the dog is started to drive me nuts. The poor guy has been getting soaked just going outside to potty, and I’m having to research how to cure eczema in dogs. I think a good ol’ bath might do the trick, and actually drying him off for once. Hopefully this rain stops soon and we can both stretch our legs a little bit.

Ok, still no job and now slowly no money. I’m trying to come up with ways to earn some extra cash while I wait for my damn job to start. I thought I could buy diet pills and then sell them online, but there’s already a market for that. I don’t really want to start up the cleaning company again and deal with complicated taxes if I’m just going to start the new job at the end of the month. What to do, what to do…right now I’m just looking for something else, and hoping something good comes along. I’m really starting to hate this crappy economy!
