It looks something like:

PART 1                                       
(AP transaction against, say, "Grand and Toy", attach receipt to printout)    
"Office Supplies" (expense account)              +$10     
"Accounts Payable"                                         +$10


"Michael Richardson expense" (asset account)     -$10
"Accounts Payable"                                         -$10          


PART 2
(AP transaction against, vendor "Michael Expenses")
"Michael Richardson expense"                     +$10
"Accounts Payable"                                         +$10

"Checquing Account"                              -$10
"Accounts Payable"                                         -$10


Of course, I do not do PART 2 every time, but rather only when the
amount is enough to bother.
