mo' money, mo' problems.

or should i say, NO money, mo' problems? anyway.

i spent the afternoon sorting through credit information. i bought a credit report from equifax detailing all of my past credit hell, and i am writing down collection agency phone numbers and addresses, as well as minimum payments and outstanding balances. i am going to try and put together some sort of spread sheet to keep it all organized. ideally, i will be able to set up automatic payments with each agency and put my debt behind me. of course, it is going to take time and money management, cutting back on eating out, no crappy magazines, no frivolous purchases.

much to my surprise, i didn't cry or stomp around the house. and i didn't go to the fridge and try to look for something, anything, to eat. this is all going to work out just as long as i stick to it and keep everything immaculately recorded. like i told mom and she reinforced, this is going to be SO worth it.

i would like to own a house someday. i am planning on painting the bathroom a bright sky blue with yellow towels and the bedroom a deep purple. i will write up a contract, and if my future husband cannot meet my color demands, i'll be like, "fine! no marriage in vegas with an elvis impersonator officiating for YOU!"

dom helped me download lime wire pro, and now i'm downloading music for free. free is good, esp. taking the above credit woes into account.
