Four days ago I was praising myself for my fiscal diligence! I had managed to get my credit card spending to under a grand a month and I did a little dance in the street.
And then…OY. I’m already at $1500 and THERE’S ONLY BEEN FOUR DAYS IN NOVEMBER!

Fewer New York students earned a “proficient” score on the national math exams this year. New York was also the only state to see a drop in the average score on fourth-grade math exams.
Just 36% of state fourth-graders earned a proficient score on math, down from 40% two years ago. On the eighth-grade math test, 30% of New Yorkers were proficient, down from 34% two years ago.
Best part about this story? Our kids also suck at reading, so they’ll never know how badly they’re doing at math! WOO! U-S-A! U-S-A! U-S-A!
I missed my bus this morning.
My ipod died.
Chupacabra threatened to fire me again.
It’s cold.
AAANNNNDDD I’m hungry again.
Watched the Rangers blow a 4-1 lead with less than 11 minutes to go.
The Patriots lost to Pittsburgh.
I lost my bet with T-bone.
The Patriots play the Giants on Sunday, so every sports outlet and their mothers are talking about Superbowl 42 *AND* showing clips of that homophobic douchebag, who is now bagging groceries at Walmart.
I have a cold.
My earphones broke.
My cell phone died.
I can’t buy tickets with miles because US Airways blows.
I’m mercury poisoned. Probably.
AND I’m hungry.
