Today is one of those days I want to absolutely scream my head off..and just say arrrrrrrrgh.
I don't do so well after holidays-OMG -like it's OVER so soon-how did I miss it- kind of thing..and naturally I'm broke because I bought all the gifts and then the hub gave his entire last paycheck to timewarner for the cable/phone bill. (he wanted to "pay ahead" what an idiot!)..so here I am broke till payday, and my friend-who is off all week called me and asked what I was doing..my reply-nothing. She said..get dressed, let's take a ride!..I thought-ok, at least it will get me out of the house..so she comes by to get me and where do we go-but THE MALL. And for the next 3 hours I get to watch her and her daughter spend money and buy crap they don't need..OK THAT IS SO NOT FUN FOR ME.
She's in mid divorce, and one of the reasons is because of her ridiculous spending habits-and she can't get it through her head that in a few months she'll have to find a place to live (her husband wants the house, the land and everything else along with it, and she already told him she'll be the one to move out) Right now they are still living together (but not speaking), and she is spending $$$ like there is no tomorrow..aside from that-she has NO IDEA that watching her buy 8 bottles of Victoria Secret perfume is SOoOooo boring for me.
Even when I have extra money, I rarely spend any of it on myself..I have told her numerous times that IT IS NOT FUN FOR PEOPLE WHO ARE BROKE TO WATCH OTHER PEOPLE SPEND MONEY ...over and over and OVER again...yet, she thought we were having a GREAT time..ugh. Calgon take me away. I want to go to bed and stay there till summer.

I feel your pain......
but I'm so curious.. I've always wanted to ask....

How much does that space rent for? Have you been successful in renting it before?
Do you take paypal? money order, cash, check, beenz?


Hang in there!

Doesn't sound like fun at all, but KUDOS to you for going along and NOT falling into her way of spending money that she doesn't have!
