brokebitch scenerio # 14: worth more than a bank account...

(my rewind moment, Jim who actually got my autogragh,lol, he was just too cute!)
when you're stressed out about money everything is MAGNIFIED. It's understandable because EVERYTHING cost money. I walked around Lake Lynn today which on the surface appears free but it cost me $1 in gas to get there and back. It's frustrating not being able to get a coffee when you want one, especially when you are working almost 60 hours a week making good money. Life happens. You get behind but the bills continue. I've looked for a pause button, there isn't one. It would be nice if life could be as convenient as a remote control. Hit play when you're ready for another dose of life lessons...rewind to the good parts of life and replay...stop when life gives you a new challenge... but nope. No such invention yet. lol

Today I let a situation become magnified. I let people determine my worth today. I left feeling unimportant. People are all about themselves. Why would they think about anybody but themselves? When I wake up I think what is Mandi gonna do today? I don't think hmmm...who's gonna need me today and what can I d0? It's only normal. So why would I let someone not thinking of me determine my self worth! People do at TIMES think of others but for the most part, it's what do I need to get done next. You have to remember you're important and use your mind as your remote control,rewind to a success. Remind yourself you are worthy. I know being in radio I make somebody happy. I will rewind to past listener emails and pictures like the one above with listener Jim to regain my self worth. What will you do?

brokebitch scenerio #13: free is yumo

read the fine print cause it could be a FREEBIE. I bought lunch yesterday because I forgot mine. I spent the last $2 I had for the week. However, after looking at the fine print at the bottom of the Moe's receipt I saw FREEEEE joey burrito after you take a survey. I can take a survey. Two minutes=free lunch! Maybe I'll wear my free panty Victoria gave me last week. It'll be a celebration of FREEdom. ha ha. I heart free.

brokebitch scenerio # 12: friends give you value that's priceless


Electricity $100...lite ice cream $2.50...Friends priceless. Monday my friend Lanell treated me to a day at the beach. It was the best day ever. I laughed a lot. I applied extra anti-wrinkle cream cause I smiled so much. I went to a movie for the first time in months and met Senator John Edwards. He watched the Bounty Hunter with us. Okay he was not next to us but three rows down! It was as if he stepped out of People magazine. It was so bizarre but fabulous. Oh and I know you want to know, he was alone(ha). Money couldn't buy that experience. See, friends are priceless.
