    Very clever way of posting your thoughts. Love it.

    So you’ve got $10 per day? Sweet. If you can stand to fast one day and spend that day’s cash on something truly beautiful, check out Phil Wickham’s “Cannons” if you don’t already have it. I’m listening to it now and loving it.

    Another idea: Spend the money on something else and go sign up for a free account with Jott.com. It’s an awesome service that lets you call a toll free number and send a transcribed message to anyone you command through either text or email. It also works with Wordpress, Twitter, Tumblr, Blogger, Typepad, and Zillow. Although I’m not sure how useful Zillow would be to folks that aren’t Realtors.

    Another idea: Don’t eat all week and go buy your wife a gift that costs exactly $70. Talk about brownie points. There’s nothing better than a wife coming home from being away for a week. But if you can figure out a way to surprise her when she gets home, then you’re the man. THEN, if you can surprise her with a gift, you’re a rock star. BUT, if you can surprise her with a gift that you’ve sacrificed to buy for her, well, you get the idea.

    Have fun.

    Use it for random acts of kindness.
    Bless someone else.
    Go to the drive-thru at a fast food place, ordering something small…and ask to pay for the persons order behind you.
    Things like that.

    and go see August Rush.

    Love the ‘buy a car?’ reference.

  6. Rachel 17 December 2007 at 7:30 am #

    Buy trailmix.

  7. Adam F 17 December 2007 at 7:36 am #

    A burger at the Vortex in Five Points and a FO at the Varsity!

  8. Phillip McCart 17 December 2007 at 7:38 am #

    1. Fill car with gas.

    2. Drive to Charlotte.

    3. Hang out with Phillip McCart.

    4. Begin new job with Elevation Church because you have no money to get back to Atlanta.

    cereal and eggs are cheap.. as is sandwich meat and bread – relatively speaking. Eat free lunches at church this week.. invest the remainder in SMIFX mutual fund.. thank me in 30 years!!

    Look at all you kind hearted, save the world, retire wealthy people.
    Now that you are done with telling me that I should do, tell me what YOU would do with it. Because I am fairly certain it would not end up in someone else’s coffee cup ;)
    I’ve got Compassion, retirement, and frapaccinos for others covered already.

  11. shan 17 December 2007 at 8:07 am #

    Chipotle.

  12. Karen 17 December 2007 at 8:21 am #

    I think I would use it to eat. I like to eat. And if you’re looking for adventure (and who isn’t?), buy a round trip on the MARTA and see the city. You could go see Pastor Mel at Rescue Atlanta and maybe take a ride on the Jesus Bus. If you do, PLEASE bring the video.

  13. Lindsey Wheeler 17 December 2007 at 8:26 am #

    Carlos…..I can’t wait until you are sporting your Elliedub t-shirt up on stage….THANKS FOR THE SUPPORT!!!! Your family is awesome….it looks like y’all have a blast. You would absolutely love my husband. Okay, keep telling people about elliedub. We want our little girl HOME!!!

    Blessings,

    donate it. :)

    or… for each day per diem you have, initiate new friendships by taking someone from the buckhead staff that you’ve not really yet met, out to coffee.

  15. Malachi 17 December 2007 at 8:38 am #

    I Am Legend Popcorn Sour Patch Kids Medium Pepsi = $70

    or
    Buy something totally random off Craigslist

  17. Crystal Renaud 17 December 2007 at 8:49 am #

    or buy a cool jacket, jeans or shoes. :)

  18. Rachel 17 December 2007 at 9:01 am #

    I’d keep the $70 in a safe place and then pay my friends’ way for gas when we drive home to Michigan Thursday night. Or at least part of it.

    Or I’d buy some more canvases and fabric and such for my apartment. Or put it in Macbook fund. ;)

  19. Chad Jarnagin 17 December 2007 at 9:02 am #

    If you buy khakis… I’ll be down there to kick your ask.

    The End.

    Put it all down on the Falcons to win big this week!

  22. Robin 17 December 2007 at 9:35 am #

    Buy me a Christmas present. :-D

    Umm…unfortunately, I’d probably use it to buy a pumpkin scone and my usual at Starbucks daily. Sigh…I’m addicted.

  23. Paul J. 17 December 2007 at 9:54 am #

    Your wife gives you per diem?

  24. bryonm 17 December 2007 at 9:55 am #

  27. Texas in Africa 17 December 2007 at 10:37 am #

    Donate it to
    a hospital serving rape vicitms
    in the eastern Congo. Because honestly, you don’t need more stuff, and I’m willing to bet there’s food in your fridge.

  28. Emily 17 December 2007 at 11:08 am #

    I think you should get a new $9.99 cd off of iTunes every day and review it for us.

  29. Doug 17 December 2007 at 11:15 am #

    Ok here you go.

    Use the $70 to see what’s wrong with your mac. Then go sell the leather jacket that you bought when you found out that fleece was out and fix your mac.

    I guees this forces you to go back to wearing fleece.

  30. pitt 17 December 2007 at 11:31 am #

  32. Chris 17 December 2007 at 12:22 pm #

    Someone already said it – but if the cash was mine it would be tickets and eats for me and buddies to see “I Am Legend”.

    I would buy gifts for some of my beloved friends. My youngest is on some expensive formula and we have had to cut Christmas way back this year!!

  35. Erick Bauman 17 December 2007 at 2:37 pm #

    I would visit my buddies printing company website, mychurchpromos.com. find the cheapest coffee mugs and get my blog link printed on them for cost. (I would do that for you to promote the printing company MyChurchPromos.com, the only printing company that gives away its NET profits to church planting) and then give the mugs away for christmas gifts to everyone to grow readership and support church planting. Maybe get some more and start selling them on my blog.

  36. Brad 17 December 2007 at 2:48 pm #

    Lets cut to the chase –
    two words…
    Poker Night.

    It would be irresponsible of you not too.

    Cereal for Dinner (Lucky Charms – always a hit!)

  38. petey*crowder 17 December 2007 at 4:12 pm #

    I agree with some other guy up there… I Am Legend.

    Nice post by the way.

  39. Kelen Franco 17 December 2007 at 4:18 pm #

    You should start to pay for a ticket and fly to Brazil someday to help us here in our church in SPD!!!!!!!!

  40. Dan 17 December 2007 at 4:20 pm #

    1) Drive and a friend to Urban Flats : 1250 Scenic Hwy

    2) Order the Baked Cheese and Tomato
    Warm goat cheese served in creamy tomato soup with warm garlic bread

    3) Chase it with your favorite microbrew

  41. Wendy 17 December 2007 at 4:43 pm #

    mmmmm….nuevo laredo, Chattahoochee Ave., Atlanta. tacos de camaron. Yummy. And will only take about $10 of your dollars. :)

  42. Abigail 17 December 2007 at 5:59 pm #

    I second the itunes purchase per day/review!

  43. Sean Pritzkau 17 December 2007 at 6:04 pm #

    alot of energy drinks!!!

  44. Ronni 17 December 2007 at 6:32 pm #

    Pumpkin Scone and Americano.

    Well, that’s what I’d do…

    or get a new pair of chucks since my dogs ate mine….

  45. C Dub 17 December 2007 at 6:33 pm #

    Blow it on something you’ll regret the next day…then start over.

    And tell us how you made the rad post.

  46. Caleb 17 December 2007 at 6:50 pm #

    There is a store @ North Point called Parsons,
    I work at the one in Cumming.

    Anyway, they make some killer fudge. Like drop-dead amazing homemade fudge.
    And a little goes a long way.

    8.95 a pound.

    I wouldn’t buy it because I work there and well, I already get enough as it is. :)

    But, Cream Cheese & Tiger Butter are the best in my opinion.

  47. Darcie 17 December 2007 at 7:38 pm #

    Your posts are absolutely ridiculous, and that is why I continue to come back to read them :)

  48. Dale Best 17 December 2007 at 8:02 pm #

    First, take Andy out to Pei Wei and write it off as a donation to ministry.

    Next, throw the cranberries away based on where they’ve been.

    Then purchase the new Kirk Franklin that’s dropping tomorrow.

    Maybe, go sight-see something you haven’t yet seen in Atlanta yet since you moved there.

    Finally, buy a nice gift for your wifey for when she comes back home.

    Oh, and don’t forget to mooch of the good cooks at work. Tell them your wife is out of town for the next few days and ask them to bring leftovers in for you for lunch. That should save you a few Washington’s.

    Skip “I am Legend” It’s crappy, wait for the rental. No plot, no climax, and a terrible ending. Okay, if you haven’t already go eat at the Varsity, it’s not great, but okay, and then you can say you have eaten at ATL’s most famous burger joint. Head to U.O. and get you a really cool pair of khakis, ones that are very SoCal, with a rockin’ belt, maybe they’re torn or something. Then you can say you have a pair.

  50. Christian 18 December 2007 at 3:07 pm #

    Per diem? Is this what happens when they cut your balls off?

  51. loswhit 18 December 2007 at 5:36 pm #

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHHA

  52. Gbrad@mag 18 December 2007 at 8:15 pm #

    Tithe! A little extra!

  54. Naz 19 December 2007 at 7:41 pm #

    Relive college. Slurpees, ramen noodles, then hit a buffet. Go to a pawn shop and buy something rad. Rent a video game and drink generic soda.

  55. Rhi 21 December 2007 at 8:41 pm #
