Oh bills, let me count the ways you SUCK OUT MY SOUL

My company only uses direct despot for paychecks, which I love, now that I'm used too it.

Since I know how much is suppose to show up twice a month in my account, sometimes I don't even look at my stubs, I just check the balance.

It may be half my car payment taken out (why wouldn't that be indicated on the account??), but this time it's about $130 short.

I looked at my actual paper check-record to make sure I didn't receive a paycut without my knowledge (does that really happen??).

I noticed that after they take out

Medical
Dental
Medicare
Federal Tax
Soc. Security
State Tax
Life insurance
AD &D (what is that??)

that I actually lose $300 per paycheck. $600 per month. $7,200 per year (my math skills are comparable to my spelling skills, so correct me if I'm wrong!) on crap I don't really need/use.

If you haven't figured that stuff out already, don't look, because it's damn depressing.

three way

This is great!

Fulfilling one of my weak, sad dreams ...

Is anyone up for a corn maze road trip this weekend?

Thirty Percent

I just opened my VISA bill and my interest is up to THIRTY PERCENT!! I haven't even used the thing in at least a year, I've been slowly paying off the balance. I know sometimes you're rate goes up when your payment is late, and I'm sure sometime it's been late, but not recently.

I have a few other credit cards, that I don't use, but am still paying off from college and the MINIMUM payments on them total around $200/month. This one obviously has the worst interest, but my VS card is around 20%, as is one or two other ones.

I've been thinking about having them all consolidated, but I don't really know how that works. Do they just buy out your debt, give you a fixed rate and set a minimum payment each month? Any suggestions on who I should go through? (my bank? my bank just gave me a huge car loan and probably doesn't want to give me anymore money!)

I've been doing so well getting my bills together and paying them off. I charged two trips to New Orleans and one to Florida while I was in school, along with countless CRAP. I can't imagine how hard it must be for people who make less than I do, have kids and/or a mortgage and have credit cards they are working on with 30% interest.

God Damn

going to hell - again

I'm sure you're getting sick of me posting links, instead of actually posting these pictures myself,

but I just couldn't pass this up. (and I haven't downloaded the program to post pictures)

Scroll down past retarded Laura Bush and look at the funny/offensive kid pics

Man I want a cigarette right about now

Another reason to keep smoking ladies.

(lung cancer, colon cancer, glaucoma, mouth cancer, cervical cancer, heart attack, stroke, miscarriage, early menopause, decrease in bone density, wrinkles, etc.)

gone fishing

I couldn't resist posting this.

My weekend, your weekend, I hope everybody had a good weekend

Today I washed the PUKE off the side of my car. (I'm really not mad, you made it out the window)

It was my Ma's birthday yesterday, so I did hers too. I don't have one of those shimmy things to dry it with, and I'm pretty lazy, so they air dried.

My Ma's 2000 red Ford Tauras died perfectly, no spots. She says it's because it needs to be waxed. I don't think that makes any sense.

My blue Beetle (which I finally figured out I paid $10,900 for, it was marked at the dealership orginally for $12,900) is spotted like a dirty dalmation.


*******

Thank you Mr. Shoo for letting me break in your Jr. Sex bed with you Friday, before it went to Jr. sex bed heaven.

JUST KIDDING!

In real life, your couch sucks and spent most of Friday night on your living room floor, but you and Kyle are really sweet for sharing with me.

Game night last night at Jeff's was GREAT. Jenny and I are the reigning Pictionary QUEENS. I call dibs on her team next time we play and I highly suggest YOU come to Farah and Jeff's next game night.

I also learned a little Euchure. If only I would have learned in college ...
