Ok so this is not completely true. It aint my money it's ME!

I have to get off this what I want, I want and I want it now. Sometimes its easy when you have a credit card (although it catches up with you later) but I think its worse when you live on a cash basis.

I have to make choices.  Will I buy those new shoes or the paper towel holder I need?

Exactly. The shoes are so much more fun!!!!

But really I am thinking about my travel plans for the remaining time left of 2008.  I love to travel and will often even sacrifice those shoes in order to do so.

For this year, I was thinking about Cali and of course NY to see the fam for the holidays. And then the issue of Trinidad Carnival next year is a possibility as well as a potential trip, my first trip YES, to Europe. And those bad boys aint no where near cheap.

So I got to get it right. Me and my money need to stop acting funny. I need to stop over indulging (thank you Floyd) in shoes. (i'm going to a year in review about my 2008 trips and also how many shoes I purchased this year.  I don't think its really a lot). And I think my only trip will be to NY for the holidays. Oh and I need to stop eating out. Another one of my over indulgences. I mean if I really add that junk up its A LOT! I bet its at least a plane ticket to somewhere. (ill do that in my year end review too. This will be interesting.)

Seriously though. I'm on a wallet lockdown! Good thing vox is free!

Today is the last day I buy lunch.

I have food in the house, I just been lazy and have not cooked.

It's time to buckle down because right now, I am not sure where things are headed. So this is my first step in cutting back my discretionary spending.  

Ex-boyfriends make me go mmmmmmm.

So I have one who I still talk to .  It was a very bad break up all because he cheated and he dragged it on.  I don't do drama.  I close the door on the situation and walk away.  Anyway we still talk because he is a good person.  He just cannot remain faithful to whoever he is with.  Oh well. 

So he calls me Sunday morning and leaves a message. " Call me back I was just talking about you and I need to tell you what it was about." Great, I can only imagine.  This is the same ex-boyfriend who I have been broken up with for about 8 years and he still has a picture of me in his locker. 

So I call back. He tells me he's talking to his baby momma (this is what he calls her), and explains to her should he die, his employer has excellent death benefits so the kids will be well taken care of.  Great, and this has to do with me how?  He says to her "oh wait, um Michelle is still the beneficiary." 

Dude are you kidding me?  But wait thats not the crazy part.

He tells me hes too lazy to change it because he has to do too much paper work to make the simple change.  But he knows if anything, I would do the right thing.   ( where is the "you have got to be kidding me" smiley to insert right here)

He has three kids now and the crazy thing is when we got together he had one he could have listed as the beneficiary.  Now you have a total of three and you have yet to remove your ex-girlfirend who you cheated on to make sure your kids are covered???????????????

And you want me to be involved in a situation dealing with money between two women who have your children should anything happen to you?????

Is anyone else slightly confused.
