Sensible, that is. *grin*
I just sold some stock. I know the responsible, grown-up thing to do, considering how much debt I'm in, would be to use every bit of this money to pay towards my credit cards. I will be able to completely pay off one, and could pay a nice chunk off of another one. I'm going to have to use this to pay some of my regular bills because there's just not enough paycheck to go around. But I sooooo want to get another tattoo. I am so tempted to take $200 of this money to do that. And I know it would be totally irresponsible of me to do this. I mean, I'm going to have my home phone cut off and am considering having the cable and internet shut off, too, to help ease the financial situation. Gawd, I hate being an adult sometimes.
I'm taking a week's vacation in June, and then another week in July. And it's going to totally suck because I'm not going to be able to do anything. I'm going to Arkansas the week in July because it's arkieboy's birthday, and I've taken that particular week off ever since he was born. I wanted him to come up here for one of the weeks, but he doesn't want to. So, Yay! I'll be spending a week with no a/c, no internet, no cable, and a minimum of 30 miles away from anything to do. I just hope the gas prices don't get any worse than what they are now, but I'm sure they will.
I went to the bowling alley bar last night after work. I had a new drink, but Dana couldn't remember the name of it, so if I ever go somewhere else, I won't know what to order!!! It has Parrot Bay, amaretto, cranberry juice, and pineapple juice in it. Do any of you know the name of this drink? And I am so proud of myself! While I was sitting at the bar, I actually started a conversation with the man sitting next to me. He had several tattoos, and I asked him what one was, because I really couldn't tell. So we chatted about tatts for a little while. I NEVER do that, I never start a converstation with a stranger, I'm usually too shy and self-conscious. So, that's a big deal for me.

Here's what I found on drinksmixer.com
Dave Matthews recipe
A popular recipe, particularly on the east coast of Canada. Apparently originated in Fredericton, New-Brunswick.
1 oz amaretto almond liqueur
1 oz Captain Morgan® Parrot Bay coconut rum
3/4 oz pineapple juice
1/4 oz cranberry juice
Shake amaretto, rum and juices together in a cocktail shaker. Strain into an ice-filled cocktail glass, and serve.
And yay for talking to a stranger.
and don't ask me about being responsible with money. Cuz, I'm not. I would get that tattoo. :)
Hmmm, she was making it with equal amounts of everything, but this may be it, anyway.
I can't give you good advice on what to do, cause while I will squeeze a nickle until the beaver on it pees, if there is something I want I will find a way to justify the purchase.
Money, seems like alot of us are in the same boat. I have an enormous credit card debt. I'm not at all good with money so take my advice very lightly.
I would pay off the one credit card and cancel it. Then I would get the tatoo and buy Arkieboy a BD present.
I usually do 1/2 debt 1/2 fun. 2/3 debt and 1/3 fun would be a better formula.
Lump sum splurges (in my opinion) don't put you in debt. It's the death by a thousand little extra purchases that do you in?
Are you buying or renting your house?
I would so very much love to get a new tattoo. So I vote that.
Hooray for Ahkie!
I like the 2/3 responsibilty 1/3 fun split, myself, though I'm not the smartest money person (I think Sez is, ftr).
Did you have fun talking to Tattoo Man?
Ick. I hate money. If there's too little, there is fighting. If there's too much (ha) there's fighting (or stress). Either way, money problems suck.
Good for you for talking to the guy! That's a big step.
*smooch*
Spend it spend it!!! Ya only live once!
Get the tattoo. You'll just get depressed when the checking acct inflates and deflates w/in 24 hours w/ nothing tangible to show for it.
(Although interest sucks, and sometimes I feel better just paying those SOB's off.)
