Men’s Underwear on Ebay-WTF?!?

May1

So me and the hubby are shooting the breeze and he tells me he heard his co-worker sells men’s underwear on Ebay. What?!?!?  I guess he is trying to supplement his income. I did a quick search on Ebay, and the prices for men’s boxers were not that great. We’re talking like Hanes or Fruit of the Loom. Apparently this guy buys the skivvies directly from the manufacturer and then resells them.

I suppose if you have a crap load of kids you might need to save a few bucks on underwear, but then how could you see the people of Wal-mart if you are not there buying cheap underwear??

Happy Monday!

I’m sitting on the couch for several hours, basically wasting time surfing online, only to realize that I have clothes in the washer that need to go in the dryer, tonight. Crud, and I was trying to go to bed early too.

The best part?? I only have 8 1/2 days left at my crummy job.  I finally found a new one, after months of searching.  I’m super excited because it’s a great opportunity.

My knuckle mcchuckle boss was surprised when I gave notice.  Really, I only had to come into work on my vacation to do payroll because she was too lazy to do my job.  And the only way I was able to take my vacation when I wanted was to come in on a Sunday.  Wow, and they wonder why they have such high turnover.celebrating-smth-in-office-shot-in-studio-9160915

Heart Attack Grill-Las Vegas, Nevada

Apr13

On a recent trip to Las Vegas, we came across this restaurant on Fremont Street.  I recognized the place from a travel show I saw awhile back.  They boast about having a 20,000 calorie hamburger. Our hotel was two blocks away, so we walked past this place numerous times during our stay.  There is a huge sign on the front saying if you weigh 350 pounds, you eat for free. Now mind you there is an industrial size scale in front of this place.  We saw countless folks hopping on the scale which had huge neon letters with your weight for the world to see. OMG! If you have ever been to Las Vegas, you have to check out the “old” Las Vegas Fremont Street Experience. What a freak show.  If I was visiting from another country and seeing Americans for the first time, I would think most are ginormous slobs, judging by the people we saw on Fremont Street.

Lots of people go to Las Vegas to gamble, and eat and drink excessively. That’s cool, but my husband and I and our son went because it’s a cheap place to fly into, and hotels are dirt cheap.  We only stayed for three days.  We started our trip by staying at Death Valley National park in California. Wow, talk about a culture shock.  There are only three hotels in the entire Death Valley Park.  It wasn’t crowded, and we didn’t see drunken fools everywhere.

This was our second trip to Vegas, and will be our last.  Everything there is so fake. The malls in the casinos haveHeart Attack Grill Signage 3 Heart Attack Grill-Vegas 2015 ceilings painted to look like clouds, so you think you are outside.  I’ll take a hike in the mountains any day.

I’m baaaack!

Apr11

Yeah! Just got home today from nine days of vacation.  This was the first time we were gone for this long.  We visited Death Valley, CA., St. George, UT and Las Vegas, NV.  Lots of hiking and great quality time with my husband and son.

Here we are in Death Valley.  Product reviews are next on my agenda, after I do my taxes that is.054

 

Popeye’s breakfast

Mar26

I’ve been trying to drop a few pounds before my upcoming vacation.  I tried on some shorts a few weeks ago, and they were tight to say the least. So I stepped up my diet and exercise routine.  I saw an article in a magazine telling me about a miracle spinach smoothie to help you lose weight.  I like spinach, never had it in a smoothie, but it sounded like it might work.

So last Tuesday I started on my spinach smoothie kick.  I replaced my usual breakfast with this jacked up Popeye drink.  It actually didn’t taste too bad.  Here are the ingredients: 2 cups of fresh spinach, 2 cups of water, a tablespoon of ground flax seed, a scoop of whey protein powder and a cup of frozen fruit.

While it tasted okay, it looked like something you would see in a kid’s diaper. Good lord, such an unnatural shade of green.  Now I have been a regular exerciser for years.  I changed my routine a bit and added weights.  I bought some new shoes for vacation and thought I would see how they looked with my shorts. Oh crappity crap crap! The damn shorts are tighter now than they were before. WTF?!?!?!?!?

I mean I’m eating like a monk, drinking V8, snacking on Greek yogurt with fresh fruit. Not a lot of meat.  I must have really done something to piss off the diet gods, because my ass is getting bigger! I barely drink, don’t smoke, I don’t even drink coffee. I exercise for five hours a week, and nothing.  I know your metabolism slows down when you get older, but mine has basically stopped.

Diet Fail 3-26-15I must say I do feel better with all the veggies and fruit I’m eating, though it would be nice to see a smaller me in the mirror.  Oh well, guess I won’t be posting too many vacation photos on Facebook.

Five Facts About Me

 

  1. Creative Blogger Award 3-22-15I taught myself how to ride a motorcycle when I was 16. It was short lived, and my brothers (whose motorcycle I was riding never had a clue)

 

  1. I taught myself how to box when I was 10. I had two older brothers, whom I fought with all the time, and got tired of getting the crap beat out of me.

 

  1. Had a garage sale while my mom was at work, and sold a lot of my brother’s stuff. That will teach you for fighting with your little sister. Brothers never knew what happened, thought their stuff was stolen.

 

  1. The last fight I got into was because I was defending a friend who was being made fun of for being mentally incapacitated. My friend had fallen down her basement steps and was never the same after. She missed the entire sixth grade. The girl I fought with was saying horrible things about my friend. I told her to meet me by the creek, and I proceeded to beat the crap out of her.  The boxing skills came in quite handy.

 

  1. I was quite the little entrepreneur. I would go house to house in the neighborhood and sell stuff I had made. I’m sure our neighbors were wondering if my parents didn’t feed me or something, as I was always selling something. I started this when I was 7. My goal in life then was to earn money to go the drug store and buy as much penny candy as possible. As a result, I had a ton of cavities when I was a kid. I’m pretty sure my many visits to the dentist paid for his new car.

Here are the rules:

1.  Contact all of your nominees and notify them of their award.  You can pick as many blogs as you like, but five is the minimum.

2.  Give a shout-out to the blogger that nominated you and post a link to their website.

5.  Pass along these rules to the nominees.

I hope you enjoy this award and have fun nominating your top creative bloggers.

Ok recruiters, take some flipping notes!

Mar16

Wow, I’ve gotten so many calls from recruiters lately, I’ve lost count.  Which is great except the ones that are calling for a second and third time and annoying the living piss out of me.   Let me explain.  I’ve made it very clear to any recruiter that has called that I’m looking for a direct hire position.  All they seem to have are temporary jobs, which is fine if I was unemployed, but I’m not.

frustrated-at-work.jpg 3-16-15 I don’t like my job, but I’m sure as hell not going to quit to take a temporary one.  Do people do that? Apparently they do, as one recruiter told me.  She actually sent me on an interview, so she’s cool.  I didn’t get the job, but it’s always good practice.

This same recruiter also told me that employers take a dim view of potential hires who have quit a job to work as a temp, just because they hated their job. Something to keep in mind.  Stacy’s job tip for the day.

Happy job hunting! Jeez, it’s like a full time job.

 

 

Another wonderful use for Argan oil!

Mar9

Argan oil face_skin 3-9-15I used a few drops on my face right after I showered.   After about ten minutes, I put on my 30 SPF moisturizer as usual.  Then my liquid foundation. OMG!  My skin looked amazing.  I think the argan oil works better than a primer.  Every time I went to the bathroom today, (which is a lot because I have a bladder the size of a walnut) I couldn’t get over how good my skin looked.  My skin looked nice and dewy up until I took my make up off a little while ago.  I put my foundation on at 7 am, and took it off at 8 pm.  I also picked up some Almay stick concealer at the dollar store.  I don’t normally use stick concealer because it’s too heavy. Guess what? This stuff is great!  It worked really well under my eyes and around my nose.  It especially worked on the dent in my forehead.  Score one for Stacy!

Happy Monday!
