$3.03

There is something to be said about a single girl trying to make it on her own. Trying is the key word here. At my current job I get that lovely paycheck once a month. Yes that's right. One time and then you have to figure out how to make it last for the next 30/31 days.

Tomorrow is that thankful day and I am in a sad state of affairs. Trying to snag a free meal whenever possible, laundry piling up, walking wherever i can to save gas - desperate times call for desperate measures. Not to mention my social life is taking a serious hit. There are only so many free drinks that one girl can get.

I think my lowest point was when I actually got excited when I received a dollar in the mail from some company that was doing a promotion.

So currently I have $3.03 in my bank account right now.

I have thought of some things that I could do with that money:

  • Purchase a magnet, hairnet, and lighter at the dollar store. (or 3 similar items)
  • Do one load of laundry.
  • Purchase 3 things off the dollar menu at McDonalds. (that could be a whole meal!)
  • Tip a valet guy. However I wouldn't have enough money for a drink so I would just have to get right back in the car.
  • Purchase 3/4 of a gallon of gas and drive down my street.
  • Get a couple of handfuls of candy in one of those machines where the candy has been sitting there for literally years.
  • Purchase 3 new songs for my ipod (which i currently am not in possession of because some thieves decided to go shopping in my car last week)
  • Send an endless amount of Flair on Facebook
  • Get 3 movies from the red box - although i will need to get them when it is still daylight because it's located in a poorly lit parking lot where lots of sketchballs hang out.

Actually when I put a little thought in it - my options are seriously endless.

Thank god for the last day of the month!
