Sometimes procrastination really doesn't pay off

I am a stupid stupid person.

1. Receive check. Think to self, "score, now I can spend money freely again."

2. Put check is safe place.

3. Glance adoringly at check every few days.

4. Spend money freely. Buy lots of coffee. Buy books. Pay some bills. Buy Raid Wasp and Hornet Spray (22 foot stream! 20 percent free!).

5. Think, "I better deposit that check soon." Move check to a safer place.

6. Buy more coffee. And hey, turkey is on sale. Buy some of that.

7. Look at the check. Whisper a prayer of thankfulness. Spend more money.

7. Overdraw bank account.

Q.E.D.

That's hilarious! At least your purchasing priorities are straight:

1. Books
2. Coffee
3. Bills
4. Bug Spray
5. Turkey

Sappy, I couldn't have said it better myself.

And Heather, I would like to say that most of the time my purchasing priorities are straight although I will ocassionally put coffee first. It is a means to an end.

Sally, why are you always so confused?
