The Last Day Of The Year

Holy crap! It’s been forever I know, I’m sorry. Life went haywire this December. At the beginning of the month my aunt passed away. As if that weren’t bad enough, my stubborn uncle mistakenly left his house early to attend her funeral. On the way there he slipped on ice, hit his head, and landed himself in the hospital with internal bleeding. Needless to say, he never made to his wife’s funeral. Weeks later he is still in the hospital suffering with memory loss. He does not remember my aunt passing away nor does he remember the death of his best friend, my godfather, which was earlier this year. We’re hoping he will recover but with a fall that bad at 82 years old no one can really tell us what “recovery” means. All we can do is pray for the best.

Today was one of the most unproductive days I’ve had in a while. John left this morning. He’s back in FL now where he’ll have to make up missed hours at work. He flew in on Christmas day and spent the remainder of his time helping me straighten up the apartment. There is still much to do but we accomplished more in the 5 days he was here than I have in the last five months, and for that I am greatly appreciative.

Jeff and AJ are in California celebrating his parent’s 50th wedding anniversary. That leaves me here, alone, on New Years Eve.

I guess I’ll take this time to reflect on the past year, create my new New Year Resolutions, and watch Finger Eleven perfom at Times Square on TV. That’s if I haven’t missed it already.

Happy New Year Everyone! Please feel free to comment with your new resolutions.

$10 Bonus!

by Desirai in Uncategorized

I’ve written about ebates before and with the holidays approaching I just had to let you guys know about their new promotion. Ebates is a website you shop through which gives you cash back rebates on purchases from stores like Dell, Target, Walmart, Barnes and Noble, Old Navy, Bloomingdales, JCPenney, Banana Republic, The Body Shop and much much more. Their list is over 800 stores long!

At the moment Ebates is offering $10 cash back (instead of their usual and immediate $5 cash back) when you sign up and make your first purchase. I wish I could still get the $10 rebate but unfortunately for me I’m already a member.

I’ve received $232.84 in cash rebates to date! They’ve also recently added a paypal feature so you can receive your rebates electronically instead of by check. Rebates are distributed quarterly. Start getting money back from the purchases you make. Sign-up by using the link below.
