a lil help here
So, all you high tech TV, Cable, Satellite and DSL people – a request.
Mahroomah asked me to lookin to getting DSL for the new house, fine fabulous – and she needs to make sure we somehow get the Yankee Channel. I’ve been online poking around a bit but I’m not entirely sure what I’m looking for – and kaza if you read this type it in here for me K? Should I be looking into one company that will be able to provide both our cable television needs and high speed internet access needs.
thanks guys
for Jorelle
Just a reminder the silly episode of Xtreme Fakeover I was on will airtonight at 8pm in PAX. See your local listings for what channel PAX is, here at my dadda’s ins AG, CA it’s Channel 7. Also mind the time difference – or you other people not on PST.
i feel like such a geek – you probably won’t even see me. lol
Ok, so following the advise of those pointing me in directions of financial aid and what not I called Hancock to see where I can apply for other scholarships and grants or what not. They said when I applied online the….FAFSA…thing that also sent in an application for the Pell Grant (?) and a BOG…Grant. I dont’ know what these are. BUT, she said I was approved for BOG and my tuition will be paid for I will just need to purchase my parking permit, ID, and Books. She said they don’t have any info for me about the Pell Grant, but if I’m approved for that as well they would send me 2 checks a semester for other school thingys – and that’s good! And then she said for me to go into the office and they have a Scholarship board so I can write down websites or addresses or phone numbers to apply for more scholoarships.
I’m feeling at little more at east because of this. Not alot, but a bit more at ease. Thank you missloo12 for pointing me in the financial direction MORE than once, you’ve been VERY helpful. thank you to everyone who has told me to look for Scholarships and Grants, because – honestly I wouldn’t have known to do so.
And as for my weight Bear told me we’re going to do the Body Composition thingy tomorrow where he tells me the percentage of my body fat – FYI, it was “borderline high risk” at 34% in early march when I began. I feel that it hasn’t changed. he said SOMETHING has changed, and it will take time because my body has, quite frankly, never been lean. I’ve always been strong and sort of pudgy so getting THOSE results will take more but we’re heading in the right direction. He said my muscle endurance has increased massively which means my body is now prepared to do what Im’ asking it to do which is shed inches off. But it will take more than 2 times a week. I have to monitor my eating like NOTHING and make sure I am doing my cardio at the right heart level. My “fat burning” heart level is between 130 and 150 beats a minute, and my “cardio” heart rate is between 155 and 180 ish. Oddly enough I felt really good yesterday during my warm up where he checked my heart rate and it was 170 and I was TOTALLY fine and completely capable of having a conversation. Where as before 145 I’d be panting and almost dizzy. SO – all in all, SOMETHING is getting better. My body is ready to take on more during my hour with him – i’m a little scared of that. lol, but at the same time I love that he kicks my ass. The goal was and still is to see a different…ME see a difference by the end of summer. After all – PG’s wedding is next year, and maybe a couple other couples will be walking down the isle and I dont’ want to look like THIS. so…………..AND it takes hard work to be Wonderwoman, and I know I can do it – I just have to focus.
Thank you all SO much for your encouragement with School, my weight, and my money issues. I made a call today to Marie at uberspooky
On an entirely different note:
The Episode of Xtreme Fakeovers that I was in will Air Monday May 16th at 8pm PST on PAX
Money Vent
So here I am. $7.40 an hour Sporting The Green Apron up to a whole 23 hours a week. Yes, I make HALF of what I used to. Yes, I CHOSE part time – and even if I wanted full time, it’s not available. Yes, I chose The green apron because it would enable me to audition in la la land sometimes.
But I need to be making more money. Current living situation – rent free, will change in 2 months to $300 a month. Current Car situation is STILL $233 a month – and for another 2 years too. Gym is $45, I pay Bear seperatley from gym and I only see him 2 times a week – I’d like to see him 4 times a week.. He gives me a GREAT deal because we’ve known eachother for YEARS and he’s just a very good friend. But STILL – Where do I find more money.
To live the “life” I want I need
$300 Rent
$75 utilities – lets say
$233 Car
$45 Gym
$400 Bear
Soon I won’t need to pay storage so that gives me WHOPPING $45 back a month
Car insurance
Cel Phone
lets say a total I need to NET $1200
This may also pay for Gas, Groceries – things like toilet paper and FOOD.
What do I make now??? I GROSS LESS THAN $600 A MONTH
I know, I KNOW – I’m a loser. I can feel it. EVERYDAY I feel it. Everyday I think of a NEW way to be disappointed in myself. Everyday I also have the same reasons why clothes don’t fit. Because I’m a FAT COW.
YAH – Welcome to week 10 working out with Bear 2 times a week for one hour. And welcome to the 4th week of me doing cardio on my own in addition to my training. And what have I lost you ask?????????????………..NOTHING. I weight the EXACT SAME. My MEASUREMENTS are the EXACT same.
I’m discouraged. I’m stronger – Bear says I am, I KNOW I am – but I need to LOOK different – I NEED IT.
Yah – I’ve applied for Financial Aid for PCPA, no I haven’t heard of anything. NO – I haven’t applied for any scholoarships or Grants – WHERE DO I DO THIS?? And can’t apply for a Student Loan until I”ve been a student for 30 days.
I KNOW – EVERYONE has money problems and they seem to work themselves out. they WON”T work themselves out at this rate. I dont’ want to go back to hotels just to pay bills and food on the damn table. I dont’ want a boring office job.
I don’t know what to do – I dont’ know I don’t know I don’t know.
All I know, is I need more money.
Ideas anyone?

You Are 26 Years Old |
|
13-19: You are a teenager at heart. You question authority and are still trying to find your place in this world. 20-29: You are a twentysomething at heart. You feel excited about what’s to come… love, work, and new experiences. 30-39: You are a thirtysomething at heart. You’ve had a taste of success and true love, but you want more! 40+: You are a mature adult. You’ve been through most of the ups and downs of life already. Now you get to sit back and relax. |
for those of you behind – I had an EXCELLENT surprise party for my birthday – about 2 weeks ago. I’ve never had a surprise party, and the last time I was surprise-surprised was last year when Kaza flew out from New York for my birthday. I love her – LOVE HER.
For those aware of THAT, what you may not know is that the weekend after my party my sisters (Summer, and Grace…the white might as well be my sister – sister) took me to a Sarah McLachlan concert in Fresno – of all places. Sarah IS BRILLIANT and WONDERFUL and it’s SICK how talented she is – sick. The opening band was EXCELLENT as well and I purchased their CD over the weekend. They are
