Today is the first day of the rest of my life. What am I going to do? Well, Disney World is right out. I can't afford that shit, even if it's a "mere" 50 miles away. At the moment, my checking account balance is entirely to the right of the decimal, I have a like amount in my wallet, and payday isn't til Friday (and I need to be damn stingy with ( Read more... )

Wow! I honestly have no idea what I'm going to do when/if something like this happens to me. I feel like I would just curl up in the fetal position and give up. I'm impressed that your facing it with guts and humor.

And you have my full sympathy for going through caffeine detox in the midst of it all. Luckily my most recent detox has held for over a month, although the sugar has gone kerfluey this week. (I'm blaming it on the cold. Something about being sick makes me crave sweet and knocks out my reistance.)

Oh, sweetie---if I didn't have a sense of humor, I'd've done myself in AGES ago. (And some very DARK ages they were, too....) But yeah, after the last couple of weeks of "Will they or won't they?", I'm just glad that it's freaking over.

I can do the caffeine detox, not happily, but do-able. Sugar? I'd kill someone. Send me the cake without the file. Make it devil's food. I'm gonna need all the cheering-up chocolate I can get when I'm Big Trixie's bitch in the Big House.

Keep in mind, if you can swing the gas, lunch, and parking, admission's free on your birthday.

and such a nice, CLEAN store

My first reaction, when I saw the Aldi on Barnes the first time: "Oooh! It's a toy grocery store! It's so cuuuuute!" ::grin::

But the prices are outstanding. It's my first stop on grocery days; my chest freezer, she is overflowing. I has fish!

Yeah, but I really don't feel comfortable schlepping all the way to Orlando in my aged car. If anything were to happen to it, I'd be 57 varieties of screwed.

Oooh! It's a toy grocery store! It's so cuuuuute!

Heehee! That about sums it up! I'm still finding things that look interesting---I didn't notice the fish, but I'm sure I will eventually. My bad tho'---I got a bag of their trail mix and have already scarfed the whole thing.
