Budgets Are Not My Friend

I went out and spent about $200 last night on clothes because I'll be getting a bonus check next Friday. Did I ever stop and think of what bills need to be paid before that check comes next week? No. So now I'm scrambling to make my budget work. I think I figured it out and my checking account will probably not be going into the hole, but whew! that was a scary half hour of my life. My roommate just started a new job and hasn't gotten paid yet so she can't pay me for rent or utilities until tomorrow (hopefully if she actually does get paid tomorrow). Who knew bonus checks could be so bad?

Pictures of my new outfits coming soon. T will be getting a fashion show tonight and I'm going to make him take pictures of me. I love my new fall clothes! They were so worth the budget crisis I'm in. They're exactly what I was picturing when I decided to go shopping. Never underestimate the power of stores like Marshalls, TJ Maxx, and Burlington Coat Factory (they're more than great coats).

  1. The amount of times that I have done that. Extra money in the account and shopping spree alert and then you realise that the money you spent would have paid the rent and the utilities and then you scramble to bring it all together BUT finally you do and phew! you did it again! lol
