Where I would definitely rather be
This is a sponsored post.
Every once in a while I get an itch go to visit the beach. I’ve been to Florida only twice in my life and never made it to Disney World.
Orlando Vacation Homes would be great for someone who loves to travel to the beach. I’ve considered purchasing a vacation home a few times just so that I always have somewhere to get away to. Orlando would be a great spot, in my opinion.
Disney News has a very useful listing where you can find vacation home advice, news, where to shop, great places to eat, and tons of things to do. It is great for anyone thinking about a vaction to Florida!
Blood vessels about to burst
I am so highly irritated right now.
I admit, I screwed up by forgetting to return the keys to the apartment. I mean really, how do you forget to do something like that? But you know I did. It started off as something I would put off for a day or so because it didn’t seem like a big deal. But then of course I get this notice in the mail about general sessions court and all this, for posession of property and what have you. Which okay, yeah you want your keys back. A month or so after I moved in I paid $25 to have the locks changed. Tell me why all of the sudden, now that I’ve moved out, they’re trying to charge me $120 for the keys?! And how can you accuse me of being in possesion of something, when a whole TWENTY FIVE DOLLARS will change the locks!! Perhaps there’s something more that goes on behind the scenes, but I don’t know, it all just doesn’t make sense.
They also decided to charge me for another month’s rent, which I guess is a given when I “posess” the apartment. Even though um, the electricity was turned off on April 2nd. Shouldn’t they have noticed that? Apparently the fact I paid for 6 months rent when I moved in didn’t make it clear enough that I was only going to be there for six months.
I know it really all boils down to technical and legal mumbo gumbo that is really allowing them to bite me in the ass. It just makes me very, very angry that things are allowed to work this way. It is ridiculous to expect someone to be able to fork over such a huge amount of money in less than 30 days. I could manage it if I really had to, but I don’t want to because this is very unfair. So what, I forgot to give back the keys, and I forgot to give you a 30 day notice that I would NOT be renewing my lease, which in my opinion defeats the point of the lease. Because I am hard headed I just don’t do things that I think are stupid. Real grown up, I know.
But seriously, please cut me some slack. Like I said I paid for my whole stay there at once. I only had the cops called on me while living there once, and we even steam cleaned the carpets before we left. Have a heart!
4 commentsOde to momma blogs
I was watching HGTV today, as I do every day when they were showing a man finishing the playhouse he’d just constructed for his baby girl. She may be have been two, I guess. I’m not much with baby ages. Right as he finished it, she walked up, swung the door open, walked in, and slammed it shut. For some reason it struck me as possibly the cutest thing I’ve seen ever.
She was precious. I wanted one and proceeded to have a mild panic attack at the idea of this strange feeling being a baby pang. Luckily by the commercial break I had come to my senses and realized I just visit waaaay to many moms on the intranets. Boy am I silly!
I don’t know how long this spurt of superpowerblogging will last for me but I’m sure I’ll appreciate it later.
Edit: Later while watching more HGTV i saw at least two old VW Beetles. I may not be having baby pangs yet, but those were some serious Beetle pangs, ya heard!

If one day I found out I had a brain tumor, I would be willing to take any step I needed to in order to live my life to the fullest.
I had never before heard of radiosurgeryfor brain tumors specifically but am aware of similar uses to treat different types of cancer. Something I found neat about Gamma Knife surgery is that it targets one area of the brain, keeping the rest of your body from getting sick due from radiation. Cancer, tumors, and abnormalities in the brain are a serious issue.
This may be a little dangerous
I finally got around to hooking up the TV in my computer room. This is thrilling because nothing is more comforting than being able to turn my head two inches and be embraced by the colorful flashing of cable television.
Although I’m a little worried I might be sitting a little to close to it. Between two computer screens and a decent sized tv, my brain is going to be scrambled eggs!!!!
Please excuse me, I have some sneezing to go take care of.
No commentsShopping!(!!!)
This is a sponsored post.
One of my major weaknesses is the fact that I LOVE to shop, and even worse I LOVE to shop for clothes. I also love the internet and how it brings countless shops and stores right into my home.
At electricladyland there are TONS of cute cothes that I love (especially the dresses. A girl’s gotta have massive amounts of those!) Kippys Jeans are certainly very interesting and unique. I especially like the skirts. If I were capable of spending that much money on a skirt, I certainly would! Unfortunately I do have to draw the line somewhere.
It’s not just for the ladies, either! They have some pretty swanky duds for dudes as well.

This a sponsored entry.
I’ve been familiar with Ebay since what feels like the beginning of time. I used to do a lot of my shopping there, particularly around the holidays. Something interesting that I ‘ve discovered are Low Bid Auctions, where the lowest unique bid wins great prizes.
At bid4prizes you can bid on autions with items such as the Apple iPhone, a 50” Samsung Plasma TV, or a Scion XB!
Another neat thing I noticed about this website is that not only can you bid via the website, BUT, you can use your cellphone to text in your bid amount. It couldn’t be easier to try to win sweet deals through this website!
If I won anything on bid4prizes I would most likely keep it for myself, because I am selfish like that. I’m not REALLY selfish, I just can’t help it that the prizes they offer are so nice, and I wouldn’t mind having one for my self. Or all of them.
