brokebitch scenerio #244 pay it forward without money...

You can pay someone without money! I sometimes find it hard to get motivated when my bank account doesn't reflect my true value. So to snap out of it, I'm using what I have, my talent! I'm donating my time right now to help Speech team member at East Chapel Hill High School develop his "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" into a winning piece. It doesn't pay. However, gratitude and success pay in confidence for this brokebitch. Confidence is the key to money in the bank. I guess, Sometimes you can pay for something that doesn't cost a thing. Next weekend I'll work with www.changethetriangle.org and you can too. You never know how good it will make you and someoneelse feel for FREE.

brokebitch scenerio #88 I am brokebitch hear me roar

I'm positive without having Kim Kardashian in my contacts she made her divorce filing on Halloween to hit up a slow news day and get the most attention. I'm also impressed with her ability to be the most googled reality star and using the best of her ASSets ;) You can too. Speak up!

I'm a brokebitch but not forever. I'm not gonna let my pride stand in the way of telling the truth! I'm a brokebitch and sometimes that can be funny and sometimes it can be heart wrenching. It's what part of the truth you share that's the secret. Being a brokebitch can create conversation like when I get a free drink at Starbucks and take "a few" napkins for home. People come over and feel like they are really at Starbucks as they sip from my recycled cup while using my official Starbucks napkins! ;)

To be a brokebitch can be winning at times. I talk about it openly because it amazes me how I survive on what little I have right now. I don't speak about it to get things. However, I was talking with my boss about getting a lovely text from Bank Of America telling me I had $11 in my account and he was worried about me. Little did he know that was the 5th notification in a week, I think Bank of America has a crush on Mandi or maybe they're pissed I'm not giving them any money. hmmm. I like to think they have a crush. Anyway, my boss was really concerned I wouldn't have food so he hands me a certificate to a restaurant! So I went to the fancy shmancy pub and ate the whole $25 all by myself in three meals!(see above)

I've embraced being a brokebitch but remember I won't be one for long cause I'm huge in Japan! Seriously use your mouth to express that you want whether it be a raise, want that guy who keeps awkwardly staring at your boobies or that you are a brokebitch!

Brokebitch scenerio#867: strawberry bubble gum, matt nathanson and caterpillars

G105 LPD party star Matt Nathanson

It's funny, I'll walk into any clinic and get my neck cut open but when it comes to my hair, um you must have a doctorate in hair cutting, lol. So, when I say funny I really mean scary! ha drunk pause. hmmm. anyway. ..;) So I got a free brow wax today from my girl Brandi Biggs at Atomic Salon! Ya wanna know how this brokebitch pulled that one? You should of seen the caterpillar on my face, she took pity! j/k but kinda not. I take her business cards EVERYWHERE with me. So when people say I love the purple streak in your hair, oh here's a card and tell her I sent you! I've got good hair so I capitalize on it. So she gives me a discount or a free service to thank me for the business. It's really a win win, she's a fabulous hair stylist and deserves credit and I need my hair did on a brokebitch budget. Having a "face for radio" is so old school, I've got keep up on my hair style and look good for events but at the same time don't have a sugar daddy to pay my hairstylist rock star! I'm my own sugar mama...which is great because I've got a really good relationship with myself. ;0) Now I can have a martini at the G105 little pink dress party this Wednesday and Matt Nathanson won't stare at my caterpillar on my face, he might actually be looking at my eyes instead. ;) I'll definitely be chewing his favorite strawberry bubble gum(from his song "faster")

brokebitch scenerio #657: cowboy surgeon

So I had a large Cyst(you can see in pic with my friend Jim) on the right side of my neck for the past two years. I had one in the same spot 6 years ago and had it removed by a doctor in my small town in Indiana. Two months ago, a doctor in Raleigh refused to remove it and wanted me to see a specialist! What?! um brokebitch is not going to a specialist. So while in my small hometown I dropped into the walk in clinic to see if he had time to cut me open. Yep impulse buy. Some people choose to buy a new shirt at the last minute but not this girl, it was surgery.

banjos begin to play...

So I was led back to the back room with my doctor who was wearing cowboy boots, khakis and a plaid shirt. Yep my very own cowboy surgeon. Was it alarming that there was a microwave in the room, absolutely not. A cowboy surgeon has got to cook up his lean cuisine too. Of course I'm kidding about the microwave but there was a random printer to the left as if I were in the storage room. As I lay back on the table of hay I wondered if I should reconsider my Dr. Cowboy? Oh no, to be in and out for only $160, this brokebitch was staying. Although I'm kidding about the hay I'm not kidding about the cowboy boots, I think they were scuffed up too.

So four shots in my neck later I was numb and ready to be cut open. I didn't feel a thing so thought Dr. cowboy was doing well. Don't worry I quizzed him about why he thought the cyst was not the other C word. He said it wasn't infected(green) nor an irregular shape so I felt confident. He stiched me up and his 7 year old daughter assisted by bandaging up my neck. I'm kidding, they didn't bandage me up. Of course, there was a nurse and she cleaned the area and did her nurse-ly duties. I left with his instruction to keep it dry, cleaned and apply neosporian to take care of the wound. One week later it looks great!

It's a relief to know that I'm healthy and the eye sore is gone too plus it makes for a great brokebitch blog ;)

Brokebitch scenerio #1012 the XFACTOR

So my friend Mary Cifers husband Tim Cifers is in the top 32 of Xfactor! My heart swelled when I saw him perform brilliantly last week on Xfactor qualifying him for the top 32 spot. I posted his video everywhere I thought would help him be famous. why? Not only do I believe in his talent but I believe in dreams. Dreaming makes me believe in the everyday. I wish there was an xfactor talent show for my talent. I know you have a talent too. We all do. Whether it's being a mom, a makeup artist or a teacher, we all have a talent. We can all be a ritchbitch if we put our talent out there for people to see or hear! My friend Rebecca is a teacher on a very low salary but tutors on the side to gain extra dollars! So what could you be doing to make extra mulah? Think outside the box and make it happen. Today I put my voice on elance to grab extra voice jobs. My friend at Bobs-web.com made my web page with my latest demos at www.mandimichaels.com. YOU've got put yourself out there on every avenue possible. At first I thought, I don't want people to think I have an ego by having a webpage all about me. However when people ask what are you selling on your website, I say ME! We all need to sell ourself cause we are pretty fabulous!Cheers to celebrating your talent!xoxoMM

brokebitch: WWBD:what would britney do?

So I watched Britney perform last week and thought it was pretty cool she overcame so much and still rocks a stage. I heart Britney and will now ask myself in minor crisis WWBD, what would britney do? when....In THREE weeks I will be stepping outside my work bubble and going on vacation, oh but wait, I have only two vacay days left! What the hell, who did that math?Brokebitches need a break from their multiple jobs or brokebitches will be crazybrokebitches. So I thought wwbd, what would Britney do? Do I pull a britney and shave my head while grabbing an umbrella on my way to HR and demand more days!? I then decided the new Britney would think rationally and accept responsibility for a mistake. So, Hmmmmmmmm...Ok I'll accept responsibility to which I hope noone sends me a bill for that too! I refuse to accept no vacation. So it's a freecation, free of any money to pay my bills. So I looked at boss #1 and said may I pick up an extra shift if I stay under 40? She said yes and Ironically it's labor day, story of my brokebitchdom right!? lol Then boss #2 text me with an opportunity to fill in on nights at the station! SCORE! So, I'm waiting for person #3 with my windfall to pop up because things come in threes right?! ;) Britney can bring you comfort too. When in a stressful situation remember you could have been the one who shaved your hair off and have really big ears, not pretty. Just breathe and remember you can find a way to fix your problem too! I heart Britney ;)
