*******************************************************************************
Well tomorrow is.....I TAKE THE AUDIT PORTION OF THE CPA EXAM 2MORROW @ 12. So far I have been tracking 85% on the tests and study questions. I need a 75 to pass. The test will be composed of 90 multiple choice and 2 similations. I only hope they don't give me a whole bunch of questions that I don't know the answer to. I have until Dec 2007 to pass all four parts, or I'll have to go back to school in order apply for the exam again. So it's put up or shut up time for me. There is very little room for error.

I have already paid for the next section, I have to schedule and take that portion by Oct. But as long as everything goes as plan, I should be sitting for that by the end of the summer.

So wish me luck, pray for me, I'ma need it......

Blog Familia Help A SIS Out

OK I can't make a decision. I'm trying to purchase a table to put in my basement hallway. So I have some place to put my keys and what not when i get home. The only thing in the hallway is the stair case leading up stairs...laundry room on the left and entrance to the basement living room on the right. So there is no decour, I have to match.

the banisters look like this:












I've managed to narrow my decision to 3 tables. Now the first table, I can get with only 1 shelf. And I know the last is a little dark. But I like the look of that one. Hell none of them match the banister exactly. I wasn't going for an exact match anyway. So which one do you like the most. My coworker thinks I should go with the last one. (PS. Tigerkiss what is that 60/40 income thing you were talking about?)

Tips for Clearing Your Credit Card Debt....

Well I have nothing in particular to talk about today. So I figured I'd share an article to help eliminate debt. I hope these tips and the calculator are useful.

********************************************************************

Calculator: How Can I Pay Off Credit Card Debt?
by Michelle Dosher and Chris Hill

If you're up to your eyeballs in credit card debt, it probably seems sometimes like you'll never pay off those bills.
No one is saying it'll be easy, but with some focused strategy, and help from your credit union providing this calculator, you'll be able to pay off those credit cards--probably sooner than you think.

The key is having a plan of how and when you'll pay off debt. By paying just an extra $25 to $50 a month toward one of your credit card bills, you'll be able to pay off that card, then move to the next one.

You're probably wondering, "How can I come up with extra money?" Curbing spending is the place to start. Here are some ways to identify spending leaks so you can redirect small savings to credit card debt:

• 
  Adjust your tax withholdings and put the extra money toward debt each month. The average tax refund is around $2,400--don't lend money to Uncle Sam.
  
• Pack your own lunch. Fast food at $4 a day adds up to around $1,000 a year. Brown bagging is a good place to start.
  
• Pay bills online. You'll avoid late fees (late payments also can raise your interest rate) and save
• on postage as well.
  
• Review telephone and ISP (Internet service provider) bills. Are you paying for features you don't use?
  
• Adjust your thermostat at night or when you're not home so temperatures--and expenses--stay under control.
  
• Consider traveling during off-peak/off-season times or think about putting that big vacation on hold. Travel in-state or make day trips instead.
  
• Save on gas by combining errands instead of making several little trips the same day.
  
• Trade in high-interest bank credit cards for a low-rate credit card from your credit union.
  Use your credit union for all your financial needs. Credit unions often charge lower fees than banks--you keep the difference.
  

A handful of credit card issuers have raised minimum payments from 2% to 4% of the balance due. If you can afford these higher payments each month, you'll benefit over the long haul. If you can't afford this increase, chances are you're in over your head. Ask someone at your credit union for help in straightening out your finances.

Consider the example of a $2,000 balance at 18% interest. If your minimum payment is 2% of the balance due each month, it will take you about 19 years to pay it off and you'll pay $3,862 in interest. (A 2% minimum payment would start at $40 and taper to $20. Maintain the $40 and you'll pay off the debt faster. That's what our calculator assumes.)
If you're paying 4% of the balance due, you'll pay off the balance in seven years and four months and cut your interest costs to $1,031. (A 4% minimum payment starts at $80 and tapers to $20.)

By paying 8% of the balance due, much more than the minimum, it will take you three years and nine months to pay off, and you'll pay about $433 in interest. (An 8% minimum payment starts at $160 and tapers to $20.) Remember, these calculations assume you add no more charges to the card.

Always pay the minimum amount due so you don't incur a late fee, and if possible, pay more than the minimum.

This calculator assumes you are going to pay no less than your "starting" minimum payment. It also assumes that you will pay off the credit card with the highest interest rate first--by throwing all your newfound cash at that bill while paying the minimum on the other bills--and that you'll add no more debt. That means, no matter what--unless for a real emergency--you won't use those cards. Print your results to save for future reference and to track your progress.

Pissy and Chrissy at it a again

Ok when I got home from the strip joint at 2 am, for some reason I thought it was the best time for me to look for the jack that should be in my car.

Backdrop: some of yall may remember me discussing the neighbor who repeatedly kept asking for a jack and when i looked there was no jack....

Well I wanted to double check before, I marched to Nissan demanding my jack....After removing all my stuff from the trunk and lifting the mat, i discovered a secret compartment on the right side of the trunk, containing the jack. PHEW, cause i was not driving to Va bch with out it.....I would of felt stoopid at Nissan, I'm so glad I looked first. Now I can help the neighbor, next time she gets a flat.... :)

********************************************************************************
Well I didnt leave home till 3, after getting gas and then my glasses from Jc Penny's. Yes they finally got it right, I can see. :) So I hit some traffic, it took me 5 hours to get to moms house. It should've only been a 3-4 hour drive....Hell missy landed shortly after i got to ma's house.

ME @ MAMA's in my new glasses and my spikey hair doo..........


So friday was pretty uneventful, altought missy was tryna get me to bar hop (she'll tell ya more about that). But i wanted to spend time with ma......I let ma read my blog...mostly cause she kept asking about what happened with that nicca, and i really just dont want to talk about it no more, so i let her read the stories instead..After reading she had no more questions....She found the blog funny, even laughed at the post about her...you know the post about ass woopings ...She's glad yall liked the stolen privacy punishment. She didn't remember what i did either.


Saturday...Pissy and Chrissy met up at Reign in Norfolk. Missy had on a sexy lil white dress. The first thing she asked me was...."Do I look like a slut in this." I told her No...I got to the club b4 her so I seen plenty stank outfits.... The males in her crew were keeping her and her sis cups filled...She had her sponser. We never made it to the dance floor too packed. So we danced and bull shited near the dance floor and unfortunately in front of the bathrooms...Every 5 mins someone was coming through busting up our groove, bumping in to us...some chick bumped into missy, mad her spill her drink...and she had nerve to tell missy her drink was cold.....biotch you bumped in to her....So we getting our dance on, guys approaching missy left and right...but i'll let her tell that.

Then it happens, the fight...I'm not sure what sparked it off. I think someone bumped in to some one....First all i saw were the girls talking, i thought they were together....then all of a sudden someone grabs one girl from behind, while she starts swinging...the other girl starts taking her shoes off....then the drinks fly..the crowd parted like the red sea..i have no clue where they were getting drinks from...but they threw at least five drinks at each other....the last drink thrown most of it ended up all down the back of the thrower, lol....i had to laugh at that...then they step to each other and started throwing hay makers and pulling hair..some girl started stomping somebody out on the floor ...

there was weave, drinks, and shoes all over the place when it was over....Security let that fight go on way to long, i have no clue why it took them so long to stop the fight.......After they get them out the club, the party continues for about another 40 mins....until we were informed that the party was being shut down and cops were outside....I don't know if the girls kept fighting outside or what all I knew was we were getting kicked out......Leave Peacefully," is what the DJ instructed. But another fight broke out....We didnt see that one, it was on the other side of the club...(which by the was was really a resturant moonlighting as a club)

Missy still had her drink, so she smuggled it out under my coat...yeah i was scurred.....That damn Missy got apple martini all over my jean jacket....Luckly it wasnt cold out so I didn't need to wear it.....

Before leaving we saw this HAM....This bamma had on a white polk-a-dot Lee-a-tard over some black no-feet leggings....Yes i said over, she looked like she just stepped out of flash dance. All she was missing was the leg warmers. I was like who the hell told her that ish was cute.


**********************************************************************************
So while i was in Va Bch, I report my phone "lost." But since I have 2 phones that was not a problem. I could still get my talk on while i waited on my replacement. I had this blue slide phone...

Since they didn't have any more, I got Sprint's version of the razor.....a $350 phone for $50




Now you do get what you pay for, cause Lockline (insurance company) didn't send me any of the accersories that come with the phone. I got no usb and no head phones. They sent me a CAR CHARGER, not a WALL CHARGER..if that wasn't dumb enough, the damn CAR CHARGER did not work. So I haven't been able to use the phone since i got it on Wed. They said they sending me a wall charger. Hopefully, I'll get it soon. But I'll probably buy one, cause I'll need one for work anyway. But the cam on it is great, the best cam phone i've ever had...it has a flash and a zoom in one phone, i've never had both, its always been one or the other....not just any zoom, a 5x digital zoom, plus it does video and has a mp3 player (i wont use that function, since i have my ipod) yeah im coming up....I love my gadgets.


*********************************************************************************
BOOTLEG NE PICS FROM CAM PHONE....BETWEEN NE MOVING AND ME MOVIN THESE PICS SUCK, LOL....I HAVE MORE FROM MY REAL CAM, BUT I HAVEN'T UPLOADED THOSE YET......

Lets start with the strip club

Ok since I was off on Friday, so Verizon could install the Fios and I could get a jump start on my trip to va bch......Bree and Luc insisted I go out with them Thursday night.

Where did we go???????? The strip club.. Luck has the dellusion that he can make me and bree lesbians. Since we not with his cousins, he can't see us with any other guys...whateva....

Well we get there and there is a may-trah-dee (sp) at the door, he intercoms someone inside requesting a table for three, shortly we're told there is a table available for us...the man on the inside excorts us to our table. I'm like damn this is one high class strip joint.....I was so damn hungry i ate there, Luc highly recommended their food. Their menu was estravegant for a strip club. Anywho all the broads were hella skinny...Im with Monique, SKINNY BITCHES MUST DIE...lol....One of these skinny heffas had 2 kids, but you couldnt tell it from her body, well other than the big ass air-ree-olas (sp).....Luc told her she needed to gain some weight....He has absolutely no sence.

After each set, the next girl would sanatize the polls and mirror and then clapped for the girl leaving the stage. The one leaving would then give the new dancer, her first tip. The girl (s) who just finished would then make her rounds to each table, asking if we were having a good time and thanking us for coming.....What Luc refered to as begging for a dollar.....Now these girls didnt really dance, they just sashayed (sp) across the stage. I mostly watched the Lakers game...Looking at the female shape doesnt embarass me, hell i got everything they got why should it.....aint nothing i aint seen before...

Alright I'm all typed out....Let's see I owe yall bootleg NE pics and a discussion on my trip to Va Bch.... Pissy Missy will probably beat me to that.... I'm Out, HOLLA!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updates........

Ok I guess I've done enough trolling for the week. I really didn't feel like updating though. I was just being lazy. Oh and I'm glad yall find my pseudonym (sp) funny..... :)....As you will see it does come in handy

Dear Anastasia,

Bruno is a trip......I still dont know where he got my gmail addy from and apparently neither does he. I would put his pic on blast, but I scared the pic has a virus attached to it.........

Dat Nicca Update.....We did in fact have lunch last Thursday. (for proof of life, just ask mickey, he passed through while we were talking) Most of the time he spent tryna dispell the rumors that have been going around about him. He says he is not on drugs and has not borrowed money from folks. Now I destinctly asked him if he has borrowed money, he infactically said No....And that my fellow blogger was a BOLD FACE LIE. He even mentioned Gore cause he thinks i dont talk to him.......I know for a fact Gore gave him money. Maybe he doesn't consider it borrowing $$$ since he never had intensions on paying them back......But I just nodded and listened. Then he apologizes again for all that he has done and for how he left. and said that he was happy that he had the chance to apologize in person, because Karma is a mutha.....I guess he knows the source of his bad luck.......I asked him specifically if he was sleeping with Teressa (some women in her 40s). He said he admits that he was staying with her for a while, but they were just friends, they were never like that.......ANOTHER BOLD FACE LIE......I confronted him with information i had about her. I told him I had her home, work, and cell number and work address. And that I've had this info since Dec 04. I asked if they were just friends why did he lie when i asked him about her in Feb 05. He said cause he was stupid. I told him that his lying is why i stopped talking to him in Feb 05. When I confronted him with her name and he still continued to lie, I stop all communication and only talked to him when he called......He held on to his story that he had not slept with her or anyone else...that he had too much going on to be worried about pussy......He commended me on doing the damn thing, saying that he always knew I would come out on top and that he was just holding me back...........

I hope he realizes this karma he talked about will continue to affect his life until he comes clean. I told him later that night that I did not believe what he told me. He said, well if thats how you feel, but I have told you the truth.....WHATEVA NICCA WHO DO YOU THINK YOU ARE TALKING TO.......

My weekend.....well I did yet another change to my hair....I got hightlights..... :) later that night me and bree went to the NE concert. Shout out to miss sky, she was holding it down....The concert was off the chain...We were in the front row....:) we were supposed to be in the 2nd row, but i guess the usher cant read, but i aint mad at her....as a result, I HELD ALL 6 OF THEIR HANDS....YES I SAID 6.....BOBBY BROWN WAS IN THE BUILDING.....IN ADDITION TO HANDS....MIKE BIVENS SANG TO ME, I TOUCHED 3 CHESTS, AND TAPPED BOBBY BROWN ON THE ASS....NOW IF I GO MISSING......CALL THE AUTHORITIES AND TELL THEM TO SEARCH WHITNEY'S HOME.......After the concert we went to h20 where i missed running into fellow blogger Honey~Libra......Ralph, bobby, and raheem devaughn performed on stage.....I was on cloud 9 that night......

I do have some bootleg pics from the concert...they a lil blurry...I'll post another day I dont feel like fawking with blogger today.......
