Today, I was reminded of my serious dependence on technology. I've been known to spend money, impulsively, and to be carefree with my money because I like to be able buy what I want, when I want. But that's just the backstory. Last night, I noticed that my Sony Vaio wasn't charging even though I had the adapter plugged in... so I tried to get it to work and if I held it a certain way, it would charge intermittently. So I went to bed and then, this morning, I called Sony and Best Buy to find out how much it would cost to have the adapter port repaired or replaced. The tech at one of the Sony stores I called had an attitude so, you know, I reported him to the manager. But anyway, Best Buy was the cheapest but they told me that it would take 3-5 weeks. That's depressing. Not only do I have many papers to write between now and then, but I need to be able to access the internet - you know, email, facebook, twitter, formspring and now my blog - on more than just my cell phone. So..... I went to Best Buy thinking I was going to drop off my computer and leave feeling a little empty. I ended up walking around a little (I went to the computer section first) and I happened upon the netbooks. I am now typing my blog on a netbook. Terrible, right? I didn't plan to buy one but I reasoned that I could use it for the 3-5 weeks that my computer is gone and that it would be convenient for when I start writing my book series and for conducting business (you know, when you want to carry something light that can fit in a book purse, ladies). Then, I happened to find out how much I would be getting for my tax refund this year while I was at the store! I took that as a sign, folks.
Now, I don't want to give anyone the impression that I'm irresponsible with money because that is certainly not the case. I admit that I do occasionally like to splurge and that living well and free is important to me. But I'm also very attentive to my finances and how much is coming in and going out. It's just that I believe and proclaim that "Money comes to me effortlessly. I always have more than enough." I believe in the law of attraction and I've always been successful bringing money into my life without doing anything to get it. Don't worry, it's nothing illegal, lol. I just strongly believe and then thankfully act as if everything is more than taken care of. It works, people! You should try it. Speak things as if they are and watch them come into fruition..... cuz I'm not loaning no money out, lol!!!
But yeah..... I got my netbook. It's great! And I'm happy that I have the resources to do things like this.
I can definitely identify with this blog. I used to be the type to splurge because I either had the money or I knew someone would buy it for me. However, I'm trying to stray away from that lifestyle and mentality. I've always had two or more of everything all because I had this you never know what could happen mentality and that I needed access to the internet or my prized possessions everywhere I went. But as I've gotten older and a lot wiser I've cut back on some of my splurges.
