Just got PAID

So, work has been good. I can't really talk about it, but I'm learning lots and I'm feeling like I'm getting the hang of things.

But I'm having a hard time adjusting to the whole "slaving away for a paycheck" thing that adults do. Let's face it, I'm kind of young to be in the work force as a salaried employee of a Fortune 500 company. At times its overwhelming, and you are amazed that you allow yourself to be told what to do for the sake of a paycheck.

But then... an amazing thing happens! You get PAID!

And maybe my paychecks aren't so great. I don't really care. All I know is that after I get my paycheck, budget out for the month for rent, tithing, and then put some in savings.... I have LEFTOVER MONEY.

WHOA.

So... now what do you do with this leftover money? Well, this girl has gone shopping. A TON. I live in San Francisco, this girl has clothing needs! Like new jackets. And a designer handbag. And new dresses to wear to church!

But then... there's still this leftover money!

I know, I should be responsible and save for something. But... what? I already put money into the savings account. 25% even! I'm young, and I don't want to be any more responsible than that. I want to SPEND IT!!!!

So I'm torn. I really want a nice watch. Nothing says "I'm a working professional" like a nice watch.

Like this one. 

But, I'm also wanting an iPad. I don't really know why. I just know that I should want an iPad. I bet it's all the billboards around San Francisco. And I bet if I got an iPad I would find plenty of uses for it.

AND I also want to go to Tiffany's and actually buy something. My favorite movie is Breakfast at Tiffany's. The customer service there is SPECTACULAR. You feel like a queen!

This one is my favorite... notice how it says Tiffany in the petals around the lock? LOVE!

Or maybe I could save up for a trip. But then I would need a friend to go on a trip. Who wants to be my friend and go on a trip?

I don't know... any ideas on things I need to buy for myself?
