If it makes you feel better, D and I are also doing the Great Scary Budgeting Event of 2011 today. Woo.
Well, we may not have parted on the best of terms. I realize certain words were exchanged. Also, certain... bullets. But that's air through the engine. It's past. We're business people.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

Thanks, guys. The imposter syndrome has faded a bit today.
I just went grocery shopping for all the stuff I'm going to make this week. I'm making potato kale soup, Venezuelan black beans, yellow rice, posole, and chard with capers and raisins. Also some sort of shredded cabbage salad. Yum.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
Sounds like lots of yum, Hil!

Solidarity, sistah!
I scooped the pans, emptied the trash, and changed my bed. And now, 15 more minutes of budget fun! Whee.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
You totally rock it, Hil. Those students don't know the truckload of awesome that is backing up in their academic driveway. Beep beep, motherfuckers!
We need to do the big budgeting talk too. Oh and I second the Dave Ramsey suggestion. He has the kind of motivating personality I think you might respond to, Erin. We need get our Dave Ramsey back on too, starting with me picking up more private lessons once the store opens back up.
We have lacked our gazelle-like intensity. We have had a more bovine intensity, which has not gotten the job done.

This totally made me laugh.
Why does Goya put MSG into everything? I found real annatto to use for the yellow rice, because the cookbook said to, because the Goya Sazon stuff has MSG, but I bought a jar of Goya sofrito because I didn't feel like making my own, and that's got MSG, too.

Fear NOT the budget, friends!
Lift up thine eyes to the glory that is the Spending Plan.
It's roughly the same, but focused on the practical application of resources, vs. the deprivation aspect.
Making a mind-shift may not seem helpful...or even possible...but it makes a huge difference when you think toward something, rather than fearing the pain.

I've printed off a couple of the Dave Ramsey worksheets, and brought current the balances on one checking acct, one savings, and one credit card. Next is alternate working on the worksheets with bringing current my other balances and adding my new bank accounts down here.
But first, food!
Introverts? Can I get a little reassurance that if StW doesn't want to hang, it's because he needs to recharge his batteries alone and not because he's decided I'm a PITA? As an extrovert currently in the throes of PMS, my brain is waging a highly effective campaign of self-sabotage.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
smonster, as someone who's been ridiculously busy recently and hasn't had much time to himself, I can attest that yes, as much as he loves spending time with you, he may want to just chill on his own for a little while.

As a pretty extreme introvert, there have been lots of times that I've just needed time for myself. Nothing to do with any of the people who wanted to hang out with me, just that, if I spent any more time with ANYONE, I was going to scream.
