Of Hair & Money

     I have had some serious bad hair days lately... I hope my bad hair has not been the cause of being looked at strangely by prospective employers and/or the cause of not being chosen as a prospective employee!

 

Oh, dear God, let the next prospective employer be just a little bit blind but with good hearing, so that I will look and sound like the perfect candidate for the job!

 

Is there such a thing as "bad hair" discrimination?! Can you sue if you believe you have been discriminated against because your hair is not having a good day?

 

And how do you keep up with the gray?! Ahhh... once was a time when coloring my hair was just for fun... Those days are gone... Gray, all by myself... Don't wanna be gray anymore!

 

So I took the recommended hair color and applied it to my hair, all the while crossing my fingers at what the outcome will be... OMGG! It looked dark while it was on, but I think I may have left it on too long... One thing about hair color, you really don't know what it looks like until you go into direct sunlight... I hope I will like it but I think it came out too light...   I just hope I do not shock the people at church tomorrow... or the Interviewer on Monday.

 

   Last Monday, I had an interview... I was kind of disappointed that I missed church and  I didn't get the job, because on that day, we were supposed to buy a brand new wallet. If I had been there last Monday, I would have gotten my new wallet blessed and prayed with the others for prosperity...

 

Last week and this week, I have spent a lot of time looking for this new wallet, but I couldn't find one anywhere... Of course, I wanted it to be one that I liked, but I also wanted to find one at a reasonable price...

 

So here it was Friday already... and still no wallet... I went to church and left my parked car at the church parking lot while I took a little walk downtown... I wasn't wearing the right shoes to walk very far, but I told myself that I would only go up a few streets and come back if I didn't find anything...

 

The shops downtown are always packed with people from Mexico... and even though they have parking meters, it is always hard to find a parking space, so I never go there... 

 

I walked a couple of blocks and discovered that it has been a good while since I knew how to walk like a pedestrian. (lol) Oops @ you need to wait for the little walking man on the light before you cross the street or they will run right over you!...

 

I went to two shops. At the first one, I found a checkbook wallet that looked like a cigarette case... It is modern, but I didn't like the color and it was $10... I asked the clerk to hold it for me (just in case I didn't find something else).

 

I crossed the street to a little shop that looked as if they might have wallets... They had a variety to choose from... I was immediately drawn to a gold checkbook wallet... It stood out among all of the boring and imitation brand name ones... It was gold on the inside, too, and it looked perfect on the inside, but I wasn't sure...

 

I asked the clerk if she had any other recommendations... She pulled out a silver checkbook wallet that was very soft... The material shimmered a bit because of the imprinted design, which looked like fish scales or snakeskin... The inside had lots and lots of little inserts for credit cards... Where am I going to get all those credit cards?! lol @ you never know!... 

 

The gold one had a fold in the coin section that allowed easy access to the coins you put inside; the silver wallet did not... Both were slim (not bulky) and both had a place for checks and credit cards, but the silver wallet had three clear view places to insert pictures or drivers license or ID... and it was the material that it was made of that made it look so pretty and elegant...

 

I asked the sales clerk for the price of the wallet, and it turned out that the silver wallet was only $5.99... so I bought it... To my surprise, I had the exact amount that I needed for the new wallet in my old wallet!

 

So I walked away, all happy about my new wallet, feeling good, not only about finding a wallet that I liked, but that I found it at a good price, too! I walked back to the church and got it blessed...

 

When I got to the apartment, I was very excited about filling up my wallet with things that I would need... It felt strange to emptythe old checkbook cover and take stuff out of my card holder to place them in the new wallet... You would have sworn that I had been given a million dollars at how excited I was to buy a new wallet. It seemed to validate the fact that God is going to send me a great job to earn money to put into my new wallet.

 

An unexpected surprise is that I had forgotten that I already had a small silver coin purse that matches the checkbook wallet perfectly, so in the coin section of the wallet, I placed a sixpence coin (from England) and a groom coin... I have had those coins since my daughters got married... Now I will always know where they are...

 

My new wallet is an act of Faith that God will provide... I am very happy with my new wallet, and now, I am thinking about what I can add to my coin purse... It has a key ring, so I would like to get a metal or two to put on it.  

 

Just like this little kitty, I hope my new wallet will bring me new found money. =.)  It's been such a long time since I have found money on the street... Don't people lose coins from their pockets anymore? I used to always find pennies... I like to find little coins, because for me, it is a sign from God that some money is coming.
