 Posted: 12/17/04 - 14:01 Post subject: First Starbucks, now my precious nails...
to fall under the category of Things I Will Do Without...
I have my spring semester schedule, and it's not pretty. 5 classes, the first beginning at 810am, the last ending at 3pm. I hate it, but Will is going to have to be in before/after school care 3x a week. Not for a great length of time, and HE is thrilled (most of his friends are in this program). Care for both boys is now 37% of our income. Holy smokes!!
I don't know how working parents survive with little children. Childcare is so expensive (worth every penny, yes, but still expensive).
On the upside, my nails will be healthy and strong again. SHORT, but healthy and strong!

I forwarded your post to Starbucks.
Their stock dropped by two-thirds.

What kind of nails are we talking about here that you would give up Starbucks BEFORE the nails!

LOL, I know. I'm sick. Wait, I'm poor! Starbucks is one of those things that once I get a taste, I'm back again, 2 or 3x a week. It's a problem.
I'm not despairing though. Once I'm a bigshot paralegal, I'll maybe have silk nails and a Starbucks near the office!

Right now its trading at 58.39, which is just off its 52 week high
Might be a good time to short sell

My New Years resoulution is to not go to Starbucks every day. Of course, I've said that every month, and still go at least once a day. I keep adding up how much money I spend and it scares me. The next morning, my car exits at the right place, and I find myself with a Chai Tea...
