What I did with my First Paycheck
May 05, 2010 By: almostgotit Category: Uncategorized- Bought some new clothes. My interview outfit, and all possible iterations thereof, worked very hard those first three weeks but it was time for a change. It was also time for shoes with soles actually attached to them, versus ones that suddenly start going “Thwip! Thwip! Thwip!” as one walks to an important meeting…
- Paid off my credit card. Who knew starting a new job was so expensive? All those restaurants at lunch because it’s hard to remember to BRING one. All those emergency, late-night trips for more toilet paper, but forgetting we also need groceries. Leading to even MORE restaurants.
- Bought a little netbook for our church. They needed one to help with the website, and how fun to bypass all the little budgeting and approval matters and just GET them one. Giving is fun, and how grateful I am to be in a position where I can give.
How very, very grateful.

Nonthwicking shoes, how nice!
Umm…what does tbtG stand for?
Too big to Gloat?
To be the Giver?
Oh, wait, got it now! Let us go forth in peace.
