I might have a problem... (Just one?!)

I actually have several problems, but this one happens to be the flavor of the week. Today is Friday and I have pretty much been sitting in the house ever since I got back from vacation. The reason for that is because I AM BROKE for all intents and purposes. Come Christmas time, there will be no presents for anyone, no traveling home for me and no after Christmas shopping. Gotta take some action now! Operation spend no money needs to be in full effect. Let's recap how that's been going so far....

Yesterday I went to get my oil changed. That's all, no more, no less. Now of course I already knew I needed new breaks cause my car has been screaming like it's being tortured for the past month. To make a long story short they got me for over $250... FAIL!

Ok, that was a necessary evil, I'll take the L but what about every thing else? Like I said, I've been sitting in the house all week for the most part. I figure if I stay in the house, I won't spend money right? WRONG! Online shopping might be my weakness and I swear if the devil were to take the form of a tv station it would be HSN. Buying stuff on line is WAY easy. It's almost like I'm not even really spending money, not until I get that Amex bill that is. Now, maybe someone would say oh just cut up your credit card, then you can't use it.... mmmmm, not so much. I know my credit card number better than my ABC's. It's such a problem that I was at the mail box a couple of days ago and I see the UPS truck coming down the street. I think absolutely nothing of it until she stops in front of my house. The driver gets out and tells me she has a package for me. I'm not sure if I actually had a confused look on my face, but that was definitely the tone of my thoughts at the time. I couldn't even remember what I had ordered! I didn't figure it out until I saw where the pkg came from... smh.

So today starts a new billing cycle. I'm gonna be good for one full month. I have to be cause I'm going to Vegas at the end of August and it would really be a shame if I had no money to spend out there. So Operation Spend No Money is going to be in full effect! No exceptions! Starting..... right after I submit this last order to HSN... No, I mean after I go to Sakura's tonight for Brian's B-day get together... Whew! The devil is busy, Pray for me.
