Halloween Gifts ?

This isnt really the kind of holiday where I would think to give people gifts, but apparently its not that uncommon now.

But here is a site if you want to give away those "do it yourself" gifts to classmates or for parties

But with the economy the way it is at the moment, are we still in a position to be giving?

I personally, am not, and will not. Candy for trick-or-treaters is enough! lol I may be cheap but hey! Think about how expensive costumes have gotten! And you know girls that for a fact we are not paying for high quality costumes but rather ones that leave us half naked and feel somewhat like a cheap sheet. But isnt that what halloween is all about? haha no. maybe.

I Think This is Worth Reposting

I had initially posted this on my myspace blog, but I feel this is a good one so here you go...

Original Post September 11th 2009

Today was like any other day, just about, I woke up to Jose calling me and telling me it was time to wake up.

" cause you so hot that i melted...." (alarm going off)

"HA HA", Jose

"ugh fuckers...im going back to sleep", Aly

it was 8am my time, meaning that it was only 6am where he was. i told him id get up and get ready for work, but i went back to sleep. i ended up waking up around 855 and calling my mom to tell her i would be coming in late, before 10. at 10am i get a call, "you went back to sleep didnt u?" my mom of course, uuugh ya i had i was tired and then it still took me another hour to finally make it in to work.

i cant say that this hardly happens because id be lying. i am lucky, my husband, not so much.

if im too sleepy from a long night or just out of laziness, i call saying im going to be late to work.
he wakes up to go run.

if im sick or just tired, i call in for the day and stay in bed.
he "takes tylenol and hydrates" but still has to go to work

i get news from a crying friend that shes having relationship problems
he gets news that he will never see a friend again

i whine and bitch about how i need to work out yet dont get around to doing it
he is required to work out

ill never be shipped over to iraq or afghanistan, and most of you wont either
he is being deployed next year, again.

i have people tell me im a life saver bc i made them a copy or put together something they needed 5 mins ago for tomorrow.
he tells me people tell him what he is doing is wrong

i never clean my apt (lol)
he has to clean every thursday

i dont think i could ever join the military
he is proud to be a marine

the list is endless of all the things i can do as i please compared to what he cant. i sit here typing this and complain about how cold it is in here then go out to my car and bitch about why my ac doesnt work and that im hot. he has to suck up whatever comes his way...

and this is what he chose to do.

just because today is sept 11th doesnt mean that only a few days out of the year we should stop and say thank you to the men and women who fight for our country so we can sleep in, call in, sit in air conditioned offices, go drive through when we're too lazy to cook, and bitch about anything to everything.

jose has always been a friend of mine since we were little and i couldnt be anymore proud of what he has become as a friend and as his wife.

thank you puppy, to you and your brothers who have stood by you and stand by you to give me the freedom to show up late to work, but not before stopping at chick fil a.

you rock!

Online Job...Again?

I remember the day I turned 18 I started buying lotto scratch offs. Actually I had been “illegally” playing with my grandpa since I can remember. I give him a dollar, he gives me a scratchy. I win? He cashes it and gives me the money plus most of the time another scratchy. Anyway, so I started buying some for my sister who couldn’t quite yet buy them for herself. Weekly Grands, her usual. $5 here, $20 there, nothing sometimes or just the $2 back were the usual prizes.
I was working at Papa Johns at the time because silly me, I thought I wanted a job! HA! How dumb. My mom kept telling me, “Aly what do you want a job for? You don’t even need one.”

” BUT I NEED MY OWN MONEY!!!!”

Gosh that was one of the worst ideas I had, so for a while I liked it and just like most things, I got bored. I dreaded going to work even if it was just for a couple of hours. “Thank you for calling Papa Johns, This is Alysa, How May IIIIII Help YOU?!” Ugh I was even starting to answer my cellphone like that. So I spent most of my time on my SideKick under the computer texting away.
Then one day I start looking through the observer and seeing that there are “make money from home jobs”. So of course, I want to do these. I’m not so bright, barely 18 and read for lots of money…FAST…FROM HOME!!!
Long story short, I did or tried everything from

1. Mail Envelope Thingy- Uhh… I think I paid like $10 and they mailed me this crap I was supposed to go and leave places and expect people to take one and mail it in?! That is not working from home! So I threw the stuff away.
2. Some “non” Fortune 500 Company- Oh gawd when I think of this one I cant help but laugh because I spent like $400 on this one and I got my own website, and business cards and this and that. Too much work and trying to push people into signing up for stuff etc etc, I dont know I didnt like having to force people to sign up. “Please please please, just do it, common grandma!!!”
3.Faulty WebCam Girl- This one was actually pretty fun, I went into a chatroom and pretended to be one of the girls that actually had a cam and i would just set up my profile with her pictures and info, talk to guys, convince them to pay the $1 sign up fee and once they paid, I’d block them and they would go to the girls webcam. $20 a hit was good, then they had to go and up the price of membership so it wasnt as easy.
4. I just got a normal not at home job. Chili’s, Payless, Bartending at Bennigans. Bartending was fun, Chilis was alright, and payless can kiss my ass.

Now, here I am once again. Crossing my little fingers and wishing with all my heart. “Oh let this work!!!” I’ve fallen victim once again to the online hopes of financial freedom thanks to the internet. The only difference. I’m not quitting my day job, this is now more of a hobby, and I actually am making some money. Its not hundreds or anything like that, but its something. My husband laughs at me and says I’m silly. We’ll see who’s so silly when I expand grow and conquer the internet. Heh heh heh heh heh heeeh (That was for you honey)

Its Getting Close to Halloween!!!

So Here is My Costume for this year:










I Usually get 2 or 3 but the way this year has been going I dont think im going to be doing too much for halloween which makes me sad. Its my favorite holiday. Not because you can dress up like a whore or anything like that, i mean a naughty school girl night at insomnia is a normal, but idk its just a fun night. why dont people just dress up anyway during other times of the year?

well it got shipped to my sisters house and i told her to try it on and she said it didnt fit her. hummm im pretty sure its gonna fit me but its still scary bc i know if it would have fit her it would def fit me. i guess we shall see.

MONEY MONEY MONEY

I just realized right now if i said what i was about to say that i'd totally sound like a spam bot or something, and i guess with this post there really isnt anyway to NOT sound like one. but anyway here it goes:

so awhile back i signed up for one of the on-line money making things and i really didnt do much about it. my cousin sent me a link and honestly i think it was spam but it just so happened to get my interest going so i was like wtf ill go ahead and try this out. so yesterday at work i was doing this and that and while i havnt made hundreds, i did start making money.



***SEEEEEEE*** ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

so while i rather be greedy and make money for myself i see that being selfish will get me no where. so here you go, heres your chance if u want u can take it.. go make some monaaaay

YUUUH

Oh No You Don't Mr. Postman

So, September 4th Jose and I opened a bank account and had the debit card sent to my apartment, since you know, I will be in charge of the funds. Well, weeks had passed and still no card. I had Jose call and see what was goign on and the lady said that the card had been returned. WTF why?!
So i figured that since my last name at the apartment complex is under Castro and something for a Sandoval was coming that was pretty important that they didnt leave it, so I did what you are supposed to do and put Castro/ Sandoval on the box. Well its already Oct. 5 and still no card.
This morning Brandon's mom sent me an email telling me she had sent me a card for my birthday and that it too got returned. WAT THE HELL?! This is very fucking annoying, why am i still getting mail from Kuntu Kentay Muahamud, but they cant put simple alysa castro's mail in the box!
So I called the post office and I was like " uh mam, i need to talk to some one about me not getting my mail!" and she was like are they putting the right address? well no shit lady, if they werent id understand but the addresses have been confirimed by both parties and they were correct. Then she says, "well did they put the apt number?" OMG for real? do you really think i am that stupid not to tell them my apt? or that they would be so dumb as to not put the apt number, so I read it to her "**** Ridge**** Apt ###" and she goes, " Well whats the apartment number?" and i was just like omg for real lady? i clearly said apt ###
"oh"
i was way more nicer than i am coming off right now but this is just very irritating. I cant go to the bank on sunday if i need money, i have to go to the bank every time i want to pull out money...I just want my damn mail!
I have to call back tomorrow at 9 so we can "speak with the deliverer about whats been going on"
yes, we better.

and btw, chuck wasnt there when i got back from lunch.
