Day 90 - I Miss Money

November 6th, 2009

Don’t get used to the blond hair y’all. I might need to be going back to recession brown.

For the first time since 1983 , our country’s unemployment rate rose above 10%. 175,000 jobs were eliminated in October resulting in the 22nd straight month of job losses.

Being poor is so hot right now.

As for me, I generally can’t skimp on hair care(and nice jeans and fancy coffee) but I’m thinking responsible Jax should start reconsidering. Please. Who am I trying to kid? Living on the edge Jax will prevail and I will ultimately not do without these few things that bring me so much joy. My delusions of grandeur will beat out the suffering economic system. But well played economy. Well played.
