Today I got my offer letter for my first permanent job since I resigned and went back to grad school for my Masters. I'm happy! I'm happy that my job search is over, for a while. The benefits are good, and they start on the 1st month after I start. Which in my case will be a week after I start. Yea!! It's closer to where I currently live, which will hopefully cut my gas consumption in half. Here's hoping and praying. But, and there's always a but right? Why does there have to be a but.... because I'm never satisfied.
Here's the but, I look at my salary and I'm not satisfied. Now my original offer was much lower than this current offer, and I turned it down because it really wasn't more than what I make at my contract job. They came back with a better offer, and I accepted. Because 1. I know I can live off that, and two it's a better job and closer. Salary wise, I expected to make a lot more with my master's. Alot. I'm not depressed about my salary, just not happy with it. I even caught myself trying to figure out my friends salary, and then I started counting their money. It was shameful and sad on my part. When I realized that, I immediately prayed for forgiveness and asked The Lord to allow me to be happy with what I will be making. I think I'm money hungry because I have plans and they will happen faster if I made more money.
Today though I thought I haven't always made the best decisions with money. I'm pretty good, and then I have my moments. I realized that God is not going to bless me with more money till I prove that I can actually do good with what I make now. I have to budget more, save more, and spend less. Lesson my frivolous spending, and start eating in more. I have a long way to go, but it's a commitment that I have, HAVE to make.

So what are you?
I've struggled trying to figure out what I want my blog to be. Do I want to write about my daily life encounters, more of a broader theme.... what? I've discovered a lot of new blogs recently that I LOVE. Then I think I want my blog to be like this... why can't I come up with something creative, fun, more importantly entertaining. I mean lets face it, I do want people to want to read my blog, and come back!
So I started thinking, "What do I like?" Reading, but there's enough blogs about books. Shopping, There's never enough blogs about shopping!! Clothes, shoes, shoes, and more shoes!! Watching tv, but not enough to recap, plus I watch a lot of tv. So if you want tv recaps, follow me twitter, I tweet while I watch. I love all things tech. And I LOVE social media!
As you can see I have a lot of interests, in reality those are just some of my favorite things. So while I'm still trying to figure out what I want my blog to be I hop you stick around for the ride.
