Okay, these are just at random as I'm thinking about it; but while you're thinking I'm so amazing "Mr. Right" (whoever you are), you should know a few things about me. I'm a messy person at heart. I can be clean and organized but I have to work at it. Usually, an idea that just popped into my head is more imprtant to me than the dishes I just left in the sink or the clothes in the dryer that need to be folded. Not that I won't do those other things, but I tend to be "sporadic" about it. I can stick to a scheduel, but it's a conscious effort for me.
I'm not very good at managing money (ouch).
Not that I can't do it...but I'm not very precise about it.
Now, I know what I pay for...
With me the problem always comes in the extra stuff
(even if it's cheap extra stuff.)
A magazine subscription
A trip to Wal-Mart (which for a lot of people might be a necessity). In my world, it's an extra.
Getting take out food when we don't feel like cooking
(which happens, I would say at least twice a week)
Some people mght say this is also unnecessary, but sometimes it's a matter of "no energy".
A deposit for a rare "trip" somewhere.
This is always the area where I tend to forget how much has gone out. I have an overdraft account for those times when there is no longer enough in the checking account. This way, there's no fees...although, sometimes I feel like sort of a hypocrite: I put money in there every month to set aside for savings, but a lot of times, I end up taking most of it out again. Anyway, that's why I have another savings account, which I don't touch...but that one seems to accumulate very slowly. My goal is to try and pay for all "extra expenses with my Paypal account, but that doesn't always work :)
Anyway, just so you know.
I sing constantly, and talk to myself constantly.
I also talk to the Lord as though he were sitting at my kitchen table with me.
A few times when this has happened, I only thought I was alone in the house. :) Ooppss.
Many times, I will expect you to read my mind. Sorry dear, but it's true. How many times do we "assume" that the other person just "knows" what we want? It takes me a lot of practice to ask for what I want, and be specific. I'm often worried that what I'm asking for will inconvenience someone else or get them angry with me (we create what we fear, right?)
Anyway, this is all i can think of for now. I know they'll be more :)
Take care, okay?
