Ever notice that every time you think you are going to be able to get it together and buy a few pieces of clothing that some other bullshit keeps you out of the clothing store?
I need clothing! and yet, bill collectors are giving me a migraine. Let them suck lemons! Here is some info on the pieces I am interested in getting. These are the actual Ebay Listings
This seller makes good stuff. I have one of her dresses in black which is made very well.
Finding a white dress/gown is very hard. She has some and the one above is the best for This Snow Queen.
Now... I make the educated guess that is about $150 U.S for these three. Now what bills get screwed to buy them? Any Ideas? Ah! yes, you need my budget? Okay, Here it is. in all of its raw uglyness.

============
Money left 147.10
The money that is left goes for discretionary spending and food! I don't want to starve! I need to come up with $100 or so from somewhere.
I welcome your comments. I think I may have to take some of it out of my home phone bill/Cellphone bill. On the listing they are merged. but they are separate. The cell phone was already behind and that made that column huge. Here is the actually payment amounts for each.
telephone=176.36+218.68
Thats $176.36 for the home phone. No contract. 3 phone lines plus my DSL, in addition to my $49/month AT&T Unlimited U.S national calling (think of it as WATS lines, baby!) I can yak with anyone for free! Only, I don't yak much as this nearly deaf woman hardly talks on the phone. I don't know who to TDD so... Maybe, its time to change things here.
$218,68 for my Iphone 3gs with AT&T. one month in arrears with a 250MB/month data plan. and 350 minutes/month yak plan with rollover. My two year contract expires on June of 2013 (ugh!). Normal bill is around $90/month.
Should I wait until February to buy clothing and pay the budget as it is written? That may suck but... there won't be a penalty of nasty bills if I did that.
BTW... the Shoutcast stream is offline as I had to use that computer for something else. I have not yet found a computer that can be delegated to that mundane task of encoding a live stream and hosting it.j I don't think an old Pentium 200mmx can do it without hassle or can it? Does anyone know if it can handle 10 streams of 32kb/s mono? What? you thought Pinkrose was STEREO? I run a live AM radio station that doesn't have a QUAM AM stereo transmitter!
