QUESTION # 627: ONE CHICK - PAID IN FULL

Dear Useless Men,

I finally paid off my credit card today. All that stuff from last Christmas, birthdays and such is gone - paid in full. How can I celebrate before I load up the card for Christmas again this year?

Dear PIF,

Just last week we rounded the two-months till Christmas panic that spread like wild-fire, my suggestion is this:

Step one: Go to into your closet and decipher what you are most in desperate need of. Is it handbags? Is it hot little cocktail dresses for the Holiday season? Maybe shoes to match? Maybe all three!

Step two: Jump into your car and drive to your most prized big box store (one that you wouldn't dare step foot into for fear that your wallet might just start to smoke).

Step three: Find the most stunning little black dress, matching your newly found too-die-for shoes that also, coincidentally, (I think not), match that gorgeous little clutch purse that you saw when you walked in the door. March yourself and your ravishing finds to the counter, pay for them with your slightly smoldering credit card, and go home!

Step four: For the next 29 days you are too get dazzled and dressed in your new found items inside the house only (careful not to remove the tags or scuff up those shoes). Warning: Should your credit card start to smoke or sizzle during the 29-day period, be sure to put it on ice.

Step five: On precisely the 30th day, you will get dressed up in your most elegant business ensemble (to show all those part-time sales people that you BELONG), drive over to said prized big box store and return your new and beautiful items.

Step six: Drive over to the "realistic" mall and start your Christmas debt for next year. Don't forget your mother-in-law...

Sincerely,
One Useless Chick
