checks and balances

Things a Gal Can Do with $4.77 in her checking account:

Run through sprinklers
Watch hours of While You Were Out & Trading Spaces
Cook (and eat) unreasonable amount of Ramen noodles
Sit in tub
Complain about lack of pedicure
Post to website
Sleep

Things a Gal Can NOT Do with $4.77 in her checking account:

Buy Cat Food Many apologies, RK.
See S.W.A.T. Many apologies, Mr. Cool J
Eat anything BUT unreasonable amount of Ramen noodles
Sit in tub with bottle of wine
Get a pedicure
Pay web-hosting folks
Sleep well

And the lists go on. Am v. much looking forward to pay day, though, won't be much better of a situation. Have so many stinky bills to pay.
Am also v. much looking forward to V. Calm Brother's visitation on Thursday. Have not seen him since our misadventures in London last year and am quite excited. Am hoping VCB will find it charming that am lacking in living room furniture, especially when he figures out that affects the sleeping arrangements. V. charming indeed.

your list looks deceptively like what mine would read. only, i could head it up with "what to do or not to do with a negative balance in the checking account". when i lived in NYC years ago i lived on ramen noodles (10 for a dollar at duane reade!), so now i REFUSE to eat it, because it leaves a "poor" taste in my mouth. plllfffttt. (that's me spitting!)

Put up a Paypal tip jar.

I'm sure one of your readers would pick up your hosting to get you through the month.

I'm impressed that you haven't whipped out the credit cards.

Tip jar, I think, would be the way to go.

I agree. Tip jar is the way to go. Don't worry, it isn't cheap or tawdry.

Well, a tip jar is cheap and tawdry if you use it to get a pedicure. Otherwise, you don't need permission from us.

Good to see you back and in your usual good spirits. I'd pay for your hosting charges.

I woke up to the nasty shock of $16.63 in the checking account this morning. We should pool our resources and live like royalty.
