Ditch 'em Denver

“Seriously!?” A question, and an outburst; a single statement loaded with all types of meaning, generally used in the most unreal of moments. Moments just like this one. As I sat there, I asked myself how I ended up here, but I already knew the answer to that. It all started with me being what I like to call “fabulous and frugal.” I’m a girly girl, that likes nice things. Shoes, purses, and fragrances. Dresses and jewelry all the other accoutrements that girls like, but it’s the labels. Dior, Gucci, Tori, and all of my other friends that make life fabulous. The only issue, the price tags. My current employment situation works, just not for my designer desires. Think champagne dreams, wine cooler reality. So, when I saw my last credit card bill, I knew something had to be done; and that something was get additonal income. I know that’s just a nice way of saying I got a second job, but it sounds better, so we’ll go with that.
