Making peace with my inner princess
I know I’ve gotten men across the world to refer to me as Goddess, and I have earned that title. Damn it. 🙂
But I’ve been really struggling with how to reward myself for getting through the last fiscal quarter without any sort of assault charges levied against me.
And to me, that usually involves making a “big” purchase.
Don’t get me wrong — frolicking through Marshall’s for a dress that costs more than $15 or shoes that cost more than $20 qualifies.
I’ve been arguing with myself over a laptop purchase forever. Then one of my friends told me I can do some work for him for a day and he’ll pay me in the form of a laptop.
It’s not the one I want (it’s not even a Mac). In fact it’s an el cheapo Windows machine. A new one. With software.
But I’m going to squelch the inner princess and be grateful that God found a way to answer my little prayer. After all, momma’s got car repairs and now she can get them done with that “luxury” purchase off her immediate radar.
Weird how prayers get answered. They really do — not the way you expect or want. But I’m nothing but grateful here.
Can’t wait to see what the next prayer answered is. Now that I have proof that those sorts of things happen!
