Financial Crap

I wrote this in response to this financial article on MSN. It was about goals for eliminating debt.
I am pretty well in deep doo-doo financially, but will try to pay off or at least make a payment on one bad item on my credit report every month. It's about all I can do for right now.
I like M.P.'s writing style better than that of many other financial columnists. She seems like she's "one of the folks," not a patronizing holier than thou financial wizard who looks down their nose at folks who are living paycheck to paycheck out of necessity.

I was going to say something else, but...ACK! The oxygen supply to my brain was temporarily cut off. Yeah. That's it. I also forgot my damn lunch tonight. Ended up calling my son and telling him to put the chicken breast I left in the plastic sack by the door back in the refrigerator so the cats wouldn't eat it. It will be a night of glorious nutritional value a la vending machine, I guess.

I'm Losing It

I brought this soup to work with me and as I was eating it I was thinking, "this is the crappiest Minsestrone I've ever eaten. Who the hell's idea was it to put rice in it instead of pasta? In fact there's hardly anything but rice. This sucks!

Then I looked at the label and saw that it was "Mexican Style Chicken Tortilla." One of those "healthy request" soups from Campbell's.

I guess it's passable for a "healthy" chicken tortilla soup. Talk about rice overkill, though! And it would have sucked donkey 'nads if it was minestrone.

Talk about needing to read the label!
