So, I'm finally admitting defeat: the bike I bought used for $60 is too big for me. I don't know how the lady I bought it from rode it, but I cannot and I'm not going to risk cracking my head on my neighbor's split rail fence or on our garage door trying. So now, I'm sort of back to square one, I've found a nice Raleigh 7 speed that fits me perfectly and I can trade in the bike I have now for a credit toward my new bike. Still I'm frustrated that I convinced myself to buy the bike when my instincts were telling me 'that's too big'.

Well, I'm feeling better today than I did last night. I ate some pizza and then took some Aleve and passed out. I can move around the house today without feeling like my legs are going to give out. The worse part last night was having to go up and down the stairs to get to my room.

So, I've decided to lose weight and part of my weight loss plan is to cut back on my driving and either walk or ride my bicycle to the places I tend to go to the most and save the car for long trips or bad weather. I've also subscribed to the 10,000 steps a day thing to help me lose weight, except for the fact that I totally missed the part where you work up to 10,000 steps. I walked almost 6 miles today, over 10,000 steps today, my thighs are so sore, I can't hardly walk. I'm going to fix something to eat, take an Aleve and pass out for the night.

Well, my parents and I went to see Celtic Woman and the Murat and OMG, it was SOOOOOO worth it! I don't think I can accurately describe how awesome this show was! It was totally worth spending $150 for three seats in the upper balcony. The only sucky part was having to climb the stairs with my knee still hurting from my bicycle FAIL mentioned in my previous post, but other than that, it was FANTASTIC!!

Well, I bought an used bike today for $60. I haven't ridden a bike in over ten years and promptly fell off, busted my knee and skinned up my hand. My dad was with me and said that I wasn't riding the bike without a helmet and that he was going to help me re-learn how to ride. What really sucked was after we got home, Dad jumped on the thing and rode it around. But I'm not giving up, I'll learn to ride that damn thing if it kills me.

I HATE my bedroom! My furniture is too big and the room wasn't meant to be a bedroom!

My bedroom wasn't my room originally, it was my dad's Civil War room/office but when I moved out with my jackass ex, he put all his Civil War stuff in my old bedroom and when I moved back home, he didn't want to move all that stuff again and I got stuck with the smallest bedroom. I can't arrange it the way I want to because the room's shaped like a rectangle and the shorter walls have either a window or the bedroom door in them which makes them shorter. Plus, I have my cat's litter box in here and I have to keep it where he can see it when he comes upstairs, otherwise, he'll go in my parents's room (where his box used to be) and go to the bathroom there.  *Throws things in frustration*

I'm just venting, thanks for listening

Well, today has been full of surprises. First, I was wanting to make a tofu dessert just to try it but wasn't sure if I could convince my dad to eat it if he knew it was tofu but I ended up telling him because he saw the ingredients and then he was disappointed when my mom couldn't find silken tofu at the store. Then, my dad asked me if I wanted to go with him and my mom to see Celtic Woman when they perform at the Murat Theater on my parents's anniversary. I knew that they were wanting to go, it was just going to depend on how expensive the tickets were and how much money they got back on their taxes but I wasn't expecting to be asked to go. I'm so excited!

HOLY CRAP! The opening ceremonies were incredible! All of the native tribes welcoming the atheletes and the four native host tribes: AMAZING!! The whole thing rocked! It was so sad though about that Georgian luge athelete (From the nation not the state) who passed away earlier today. I commend his teammates for walking in the Parade of Nations. Can't wait to see what happens over the next two weeks!

Remember the iTunes FAIL from Sunday that totally freaked my mom and me out? It's all straightened out now, the credit to my mom's account went in before the debit so it broke even and now, I still have $24 in my account. So it's all good and I'm getting my $15 back from my mom tomorrow.

*Groans*

The Colts lost the SuperBowl 31-17. I'm happy for the Saints though, they've worked hard and gone through a lot of trials to get this far. I really wanted the Colts to win but the Saints were the better team and they were hungry for it so good for them.  I might still buy a Saints shirt since I like the Saints, still would've loved for it to be the Colts again.

iTunes FAIL

I'm addicted to iTunes, but right now, I'm pissed at it. I ordered the first two seasons of Monty Python's Flying Circus and had a $50 gift card. I followed the instructions and redeemed it and all but about $2 of my order should've been paid for with the gift card, instead it took only the amount for the first season from the card and took the rest from my mom's credit card. I'm pissed and so is my mom, but I've emailed iTunes and explained what happened so hopefully we'll get this straightened out but I'm pissed.

Update: Well, I just got an email from iTunes, turns out there was an issue with iTunes reading store credits. They're going to credit Mom's account in three-five days. *Dances*

My Pontiac is about 9/10 years old and in pretty good condition and is under 100,000 miles. Another advantage is that means that my license plate fee gets lower every year. This year my fee is only $40 and change! Yay!

Dear Emotional Side,

When attempting to redeem a gift card online, make sure we're reading AND following the directions correctly BEFORE you have a meltdown and leave me with the clean up.

Love

Rational Side

Here's what happened: I bought an iTunes gift card for myself so I could DL Supernatural Season 5 TV Pass. It was 59.99 so I bought a $50 card and asked my mother to let me borrow her credit card for the other $9.99. I've never DL'd anything from iTunes before and hadn't used a gift card online before. So I go on and attempt to start downloading but since I didn't have an account, I had to set one up before I could get my Season 5. So I enter the info and put in and put the number for the gift card in and it tells me that the number is invalid. I punch the number in again and get the same message after about three tries of this, I'm wigging out and so is my mom because I spent $50 on this piece of plastic that doesn't seem to be working. So I close iTunes and look over the card again to see if it could tell me what was wrong, sure enough, I see what I'd done wrong: I was supposed to click Redeem and THEN start my account *headdesk* It's all done now and I've got all the Season 5 episodes up to now and will get the rest as they air.

To Rush Limbaugh and Pat Robertson: You two deserve to rot in hell for your comments about the tragedy in Haiti.

Limbaugh, I know that you're a hateful piece of racist shit but to try and say that Obama was only sending relief to the people of Haiti to boost his popularity with the African-American community is appalling even for you. You are scum and deserve to rot in hell for eternity.

Pat Robertson: I expect Limbaugh to be a piece of shit, but as a person who claims to be a Christian, I expected you to put aside your hypocracy to act like a real Christian and extend help to the people of Haiti, no say that they're being punished because of a slave revolt in 1790! I suppose it's a blessing that the rest of your foundation has more compassion than you since they are sending money.
