Weekend Spending Spree
Jul 20th
I have been busy finalizing plans for vacation. You can tell where my mind is by today’s shirt choice ……………
Over the weekend we went to Southside Works for the i made it!market. There were many great vendors with their handmade goodies. It sure was a hot weekend but thanks to the fountain in front of the Cheesecake Factory the kids kept pretty cooled off.
I bought these great soy candles from Make Peace Naturals. The smell’s are out of this world tho they do burn pretty fast but they burn clean and even. Check out some scents like Monkey Farts and Grandpa’s Pipe, which actually smell good! I purchased Macintosh Apple, Grandpa’s Pipe, and Lemongrass. I wanted Lilac but they only had it in a large candle.
We made another trip to Harmony Salon. I got my roots done and a trim and Ali got a trim. Harmony is great she gave Ali a crimp and some pink 
She loved it! We also got to take home some of her new Mother’s Milk Shampoo and Conditioner to try. It smells so good! I woke up today with very soft hair today

Food Network Reality
Jul 12th
I watch alot of food network tv. I love to eat and when I have the time I love to cook.
I found this little tad bit interesting when watching a DVR episode of Iron Chef America…….
We all know they know ahead of time what possible secret ingredients they may have coming and have time to prepare dishes for each possibility. But it seems they have lists of ingredients at the very least. I’m not sure if they are that good at hiding it normally or I just never noticed before……
Have you caught anything like this on reality tv that shows how it’s not all straight reality?
O’Leary’s Cafe
Jul 9th
If your ever looking for a great breakfast diner try O’Leary’s in the Southside.
-
They are right next door to Mike & Tony’s Gyros at 1412 East Carson St. It’s home cookin, the menu is small but it’s good. There aren’t many tables so on the weekend I suggest going as early as possible. The place isn’t all spruced up but it’s cleaner than most restaurants that appear to be nicer. Also they only take cash but there is an ATM inside.
Here is a shot of my breakfast:

I never eat the toast. I ate the toast!-

Rudy’s Subs

If your ever in Swissvale…….

Try Rudy’s Subs. They are small and only take cash. For a long time no one knew of a menu existing that you could take with you but I got one! You can find them at 1918 Monongahela Ave.

The people are very nice and the food is yummy!
I get half of an Italian sub, no tomato and mayo on the side. Excellent!

The Bank
Jul 7th
I am pissed. Extremely pissed! So pissed I want to spit on my checks, my monthly statements, anything having to do with my bank.
I have been with the same bank for years. I loved them at one time, never had an issue. Until this year. It seems that since the merger with National City, or as I used to call them National Shitty, PNC has gone downhill for me. Without getting into my personal financial issues too much I will share my displeasure with them.
I had an issue with them the beginning of this year. I disputed a charge on my account. They gave me my money back and told me I would receive a questionnaire to fill out about the dispute. I never got that. I made sure they knew I didn’t get it by calling them. I received a notice in the mail that they were giving the money back to the company with no explanation as to why. The letter stated it would happen in the next few days, however that letter was printed days before it was mailed so of coarse it was the day they took it out. That money put me in the hole so of coarse I had bounce fee’s. Fuckers I still never got a reason.
Last month I called about another issue and now they won’t stand by what I was told last month. It is costing me and that makes me unhappy. I explained that I tend to be one of those people who go in the hole therefore making money for them. I fully accept the choices I make and fully accept that I screw up sometimes. But them screwing up and costing me money pisses me off. Apparently they don’t care enough to want my business. I usually don’t argue how much I am right, but I AM RIGHT! Stand by what I was told by a representative of the company or I take my business elsewhere. I wanted what I was told and they refused. End result…. I am going elsewhere. I’ve had it, I am done, I am gone, don’t let the fee’s hit you in the ass as I go cause you won’t profit from me anymore!
