*stands up on soap box and screams in frustration*

Oh my goodness.. sometimes life just conspires against you.. doesn't it? Should make mental note to not put things off.. not that it will ever help.. lol.

Ok.. well to start off with, one of my credit cards had an unauthorized charge on it.. Some how a dating service in the UK got my credit card number and was charging me 9.95$ per month.. (which is even stranger when you go to their website and realize they don't have a 9.95$ a month plan for their dating services) I called my credit card company and told them, and they sent me a form to fill out to dispute the charge. when the form finally showed up, there was a line that said if there is a totally bogus charge on your card, you need to call lost and stolen (my card was neither lost nor stolen as it was sitting next to my monitor unused for two months.. but that is beside the point) Why couldn't the first chick tell me that?? she knew the circumstances behind the charge, cause I told her. *rolls eyes* anyway.. I called lost and stolen on monday.. and the woman who answered the phone new about this company.. she said she would have to cancel my card and send me out a new one, and a fraud form to fill out as well.. Well today I got notification that a new charge is on my card.. in fact two new charges.. one on monday.. and one yesterday.. odd thing is though, the card is indeed canceled.. i called to double check.

Also, I have been trying to track down some stock and what a run around that has been.. email here.. no.. email there.. call here.. no.. call there.. blech! see years ago I worked for the local grocery store and purchased stock through their stock purchase program. Last year the store was bought out by delhaise.. I turned in my stock, and got new stock for delhaise. I submitted a form to reinvest my dividends to purchase more stock, but the company didn't have any idea who I was. Well I was too frustrated by life at the time to deal with it.. I figured since I had the stock certificate life was good. But alas.. it was not.. see delhaise is now delhaise de lion, and I need yet another certificate.. and I only get 0.4 shares of de lion for each stock I own now.. how crappy is that?? I do NOT like the idea of mailing this certificate in.. I have a history of having stuff I send in the mail get lost.. like my unemployment card.. which btw I ended up getting a replacement for, and I finally got paid yesterday for two weeks.. yea.. i have money..

I know there is something else big on my todo list.. can't think of what it is off the top of my head.. hum.. *goes off and gathers up the mail* Oh yea.. E*trade.. doesnt that tick me off.. They are going to start charging me $25.00 a month.. and the only way I can close out my account is to sell the stock I opened the account to buy, or buy a certificate from them for $30.00.. I hate etrade..

I also WD40'd a few doors in my house today.. I was SICK and tired of being woken up by their squeaking. I also worked out this morning.. Took it kind of light, as I am still kinda congested in the lungs.. I want to finish today's work out before I take a shower.. which is motivation in and of its self, cause Im kinda stinky *giggle*

well.. I suppose I should actually do some of those things on my to do list..

I got that divorse link in an email.. suprisingly it wasn't from a piece of spam.. but on the topic of spam, I am getting so much spam it isn't funny.. four years with the same email addy though, suppose I should be grateful that there isn't more.

Im going through nyquil withdrawal.. I have THE worst headache I have had in a really long time. I feel like Ive been hyped up on drugs way too long, so Im trying to stay off them for 24 hours.. I could live with the runny nose and the coughing, but the headache is almost unbearable. feels like my skull is about to explode.and the coughing doesn't help.. but anyway.. you didn't come here to listen to me complain..

OMG.. Im watching Animal Planet's Amazing Animal Videos.. there is a two legged dog on.. he runs, he chases a ball, jumps up on things.. the legs are both on the same side.. Wow.. how freaky.. but what a totally cool owner..

Speaking of pets.. Em has a new trick.. she sleeps on the bed, and puts her head on the empty pillow next to me.. its really adorable.

ugh.. blogger is worse than a super ball.. up and down faster than I can sneeze..
Yup.. Im sick.. woke up the other day with swollen glands.. I didn't realize how out of it I was till I just went to catch up on a few friend's blogs.. Sorry I missed some good stuff there.. but Im caught up now.

Btw I found a new celebraty blog.. William Shatner I haven't read it yet.. too knocked out by nyquil.

Since Geo is discontinuing FTP access.. Im going to have to move my blogger. I think Im going to hide it on my domain, and just do a refresh from here to there.. or maybe not hide it.. who knows.. I so need to redo my domain, but I really want a new domain name.. something cute and clever.. too bad I didn't get on the whole domain bandwagon before connie.com was taken.. :) how bout justanotherhamsterinawheel.com? hum.. lookingoffacliff.com? Unfortunately a lot of names I would like could be taken badly on the net, like lustywench.com or bedgirl.com.. lol. (wonders what kinds of hits im going to get now cause I posted those.. hum...)

blogoconnie.com?

Im just hoping that the owners of cesg.com dont renew the domain.. it expired back in december.. if they don't renew, I should be able to purchase it soon.. *crosses fingers*

well the car is back, and the rear window is fixed... and no the dealership didn't offer me anything for all the trouble I went through..I so want to go down there and yell and scream and be a general pain, but I don't see it getting me anywhere.. Was very tempted to pay the outstanding bill I had with them in pennies.. but nope.. I didn't. Im just glad to have that behind me, and sadly, as happy as I was with the dealership I'll never go back to Frank Galos because of this.

I think I have determined that I have two boy hamsters.. despite the particular type of activity they were doing, I am pretty sure that one was doing it to be dominate over the other. There has always been a bit of squabbling between the two. It got kind of bad a week or so ago, so I got a second wheel, and that stopped most of it. But recently the fighting has gotten so bad that one of them had a bloody nose. I renamed the bigger one BA (for bad attitude).. When I opened the cage yesterday to figure out what to do, the little one came up to me, and the big one came from behind and jumped her, causing them both to topple out of the cage. Fortunately I had a box right there to clean up the litter, so they didn't fall far.. but that was enough to prove to me I had to separate them. I put a piece of card board in the space between the glass doors (for those of you who don't know, I converted one section of my entertainment center into a hamster cage).. BA found a crack under the cardboard ran through, and jumped the other hamster. sigh.. so now BA is in a separate cage. He's still friendly to the touch.. doesn't mind being picked up or anything.. just doesn't like his littermate apparently.

After the cardboard incident.. I went to move sweetness out of her part of the cage so I could rearrange everything.. and she bit me.. and didn't have the sence to let go when I pulled my hand back till after it was out of the cage.. the poor thing fell four and a half feet.. fortunately it was on carpet.. and she seems fine.. but didn't that just thrill ollie when he thought it might be raining hamsters. I was more freaked over the fact that sweetness was walking on the floor than I was about the fact that she bit me. Fortunately at their size, they don't do any damage... didn't even break the skin.. just enough to freak you out.

*sigh* no baby hamsters for me..

BUT.. namco is having a clearance sale on pool tables.. seems like a pretty good price from what I heard over the phone. Will have to go in and look at one.

gonna start this entry out by saying I have a major headache...

Got a call bright and early this morning, my fourth rear window is in and they SWEAR this is the right color.. so they were going to call to make an appointment for me to bring it in tomorrow, and I said that was fine as long as I get a loaner car cause I am going to the animal shelter tomorrow.. he said he'd check on that, and call me back.. well its 2pm.. I just had to call them.. *really wants to throttle them now*

The living room is finally back together.. and it kinda works better this way.. but I feel like i am a football feild away from the television, and being as blind as I am, its not really a good thing.. but as I rarely actually watch it while Im on line, I suppose its not really a biggie.. I just like to have it on to be aware of the passing of time.

Emerald is sitting on my chair here with me head butting my shoulder cause she wants attention.. *ignores a little longer to see if she'll climb into my lap*

I found an entry in my credit card statement that I didn't agree to.. apparently some dating servicce from the UK charged me 9.95.. when I talked to the person at my credit card company, she said she was aware of this, cause apparently they have done it alot.. I wonder how on earth they got my card number.. oh well.. not really going to worry about it as I am not liable..

A friend of mine Tom, who moved to MN, is working with a company who wants their site redone. He talked to me about it and I made a bunch of recommendations, which he forwarded on to the guys in charge, and they liked what I had to say, and want to talk to me now.. *yea* I also need to sit down with my sister regarding her school website which she is going to pay me for too... cesg designs.. basic simple clean websites for your company with no functionality cause frankly I haven't learned that yet.. lol. I should go take a class..

Im also quite tired.. I should go take a nap..

zzzzzz
