OK don't panic.
I got my new credit card today. I was reflecting on my past one: 05/08 to 05/12. I've gone from presenting as male to female in that time. Poor plastic cried with my shopping, he sobbed as I bought shoes. He wailed over handbags. He thought I was odd buying so many clothes. He was stunned with laser and had no idea when he was waxed. He was not very happy paying the therapist, and struggled with the price of 'mones.
I got my new one today, she is rather cute. She is bouncing with joy to go shopping. Who knows what her limits are? She seems very keen to buy me some more boots, and skirts and tops and dresses. She seems to be a bit of a shopper. She even leapt into a special place in my purse. Right at the front. She is saying weird stuff like, have a make over. Who am I to argue?

Ever sooo have to agree, just coming back from another spree. Black "Fusion" glam sweat-shirt, Puma black training pants, 9ct. 3" gold earring-hoops and L'Oreal light pink lip-gloss - to took like some "Hollywood housewife" in a quick to meet my friend situation :)
And of course --- all on plastic. Just tooo easy to spend, eish!

Lol, your previous card is about as old as my account here, maybe a month older. :) You're right, so many things change. We grow, and learn, and adapt. People we meet, lives we touch... it makes you think.
Here's something interesting. Try to think about what you'll be saying when your new card expires. :)

My wardrobe consists of a couple of pairs of pants, my blue blouse, a ton of t-shirts, 1 skirt and a dress I don't fill yet. Oh and a billion stupid work uniforms! I have a ton of guy clothes that dont fit anymore that I need to get rid of. I wish I could go on a shopping spree but I have kids to feed and clothe too. And they come first.

Just like lots of other women, but we can always dream, eh?

Oh Cindy, I see what you mean! She's only too eager to spend, and if it's on sale, she'll buy absolutely anything! <pulling the recently purchased "Cashstrapped" branding iron out of the fire> Hsssssssssh! Hugs, Devlyn

My debit card ....*sigh*.... is definitely a she. It has appeared that she can't carry a lot of weight. I have been known to carry too much. Easily more than one of my past girl clothes purchases has received a raised eyebrow from her, and while I don't agree with her opinion I understand it.

Quote from: ThatTallGirl on May 21, 2012, 01:02:57 PMI just realized that the second line should have been, "Vive le plastique de la femme."
