Ya know I have one of those...an emergency fund, and guess what? It came in handy the other day when I brought my van in for two new front tires and all this other stuff was wrong. I knew something was wrong with the silver bullet it was shaking and acting all crazy *no pun intended* So I took her in to the shop, 3 hours and $950.00 later, the bullet was back on the road, no shaking two new tires, tire rods bearing joints an alignment labor and parts. Thank God for the emergency fund! If I didn't have it I would be walking to work right now which is something I need to consider if I'm gonna look super fly in that wedding dress come April.
I was disgruntled about shelling out that cash at first but ya know what? I need my ride. Thanks Single Ma for inspiring a sista to start one of those things.
I'm off to class!
Peace *2fingas*
P.S. if any one wants to donate to the emergency fund leave me a note! HAHAHAHAHA! I gotta replace that money.

National Honor Roll
This is a letter I received in the mail on yesterday evening...
To the Parent of:
1brokedisgruntled teen son
Timbucktoo High School Honor Student
Dear BrokeDisgruntled Sista,
It is my great pleasure to congratulate you on your child's upcoming selection for induction into the 2006/2007 National Honor Roll.
In just a few days you will receive an official Letter of Commendation from me along with a student profile form which must be returned by 10/20/06, to ensure accurate publication of 1brokedisgruntled teen son's biography.
This award will bring additional attention to your child's college and scholarship applications. 1brokedisgruntled teen may well enjoy widespread acclaim. To make a long story short, baby boy got skills to pay the bills and he just brought home his progress report dude got all A's. I've been training him since he was a baby that using his brain and a relationship with God would be the key to his success along with other things. I' m going to break down and pay the 60 bucks for the profile and all that jazz, and he just got one more thing to add to his resume! I do not plan on paying for his college education and one of the main reasons I work in academia is because of the benefits one being the BIG ASS DISCOUNT ON TUITION. And if the Disgruntled kids decide they don't want to attend here, which is a top tier public institution, they'll have their grades=scholarship money and work study along with a regular part-time job, with a little assistance from their disgruntled momma to get them thru.
Peace *2fingas*
