I just experienced a great loss. It was in the amount of $1400. I was beside myself. Let me explain why. Some of you know that I have been trying to get a replacement car for some time now. Not long but long enough for me. On yesterday, I finally got an approval that I can work with so far as financing this car.
I Purchased the policy for my car insurance and was mostly ready to go to get my new car! Today I wake up a lil late and start to running around and am in a REAL RUSH. I get outta my baby's apartment (HEY SHAWN) and get to Newark Penn Station. I realize that I don't have my $1400 I need for my down payment! It was like one of those moments that you wish wasn't true. I immediately emptied all of my pockets in search of this money. Couldn't find it. After searching for about an hour, calling and reporting a lost envelope and driving around looking for it, I called out of work. I was depressed and I knew somebody was gonna push a button and that was going to be all she wrote! I fell asleep unable to sustain one emotion for longer than several seconds. I would wanna cry but only one tear would come out. I wanted to pout (believe me I am a pouter), but I couldn't. WHY? I fell asleep with Shawn consoling me. He told me everything was going to be OK. I was like hell nah! I paid for a policy that I can't use, I don't have money for a car that I worked so hard to finance and lastly I'm too pissed to go to work!
I fell asleep and woke up several upon several times within 2 hours. Each dream had the same message, and it was that I was going to find the money here in the house and not on the streets of Newark where it will be very unlikely that somebody will return it. In the dreams I found it in my coat, various different pockets, many different locations in the house, and lastly on my leg! That was the weirdest one but I checked and lo and behold there it is! at the bottom of my pant leg.
The title of this post entitled Blessing or Carelessness. I don't care which one it is or how anyone views it, I got my money for my new car!

I hate you! Don't put me through that shit no more!
Now that I have vented...
Ladies and Gentlemen,
This is the reason WHY I do not worry about ANYTHING Fuzzy goes through, because for some cosmic reason, GOD favors him above all others!
He calls it bad luck, I call it the best luck in the world! He calls it a curse, I call it a blessing!
It happens EVERY, SINGLE, TIME!
I have learned about FAITH IN GOD, through him!
He doesn't see it, but I always do. I think GOD uses him to show me who GOD really is. So maybe GOD doesn't just favor Fuzzy, but me as well, and everyone else for that matter!
I cried when Fuzzy told me he found the money, because I prayed to GOD not to let me down! GOD didn't!
AMEN!
First, thank God there's a happy ending... Second, you two are just too cute...Keep supporting each other and knowing that only the best will befall the two of you.
Oh my goodness my eyes got watery reading the post and shawn's comment made a tear fall.
God is good!
Does this mean you picking me up from the city? LOL
That was a blessing that it didn't fall out. You were careless, but God had your back...lol.
I am glad that everything worked out for you. Enjoy your new car!
Glad it all worked out... now I just know in all ghetto heavens that was $1400 in cash but in some form of traceable and recoverable funds.
Haha, so happy for you. I do stuff like that all the time and I gotta admit: finding the thing you lost at the end is pretty great. It's the searching part that sucks.
Still, I've never lost that much money before[probably because I don't carry money on me, like, ever], so I'm pretty sure it was scary as hell.
BTW, I go to Tufts, up near Boston. From Jersey [City], though.
Nice blog. You've got a new follower. =P
You scared the hell out of me.
But then I kept reading! Like Sophia said in the Color Purple "I knowed there was a God"
Praise the Lord...I expect to hear that you were in somebody's church laying on your face lol. 1400..hmm thats a lot of money. You could buy like 6 iPods, 3 years of weekly haircuts, Beyonce concert tickets, 137 tanks of gas, or the ever popular, 1400 things at the dollar store!!!WHOOO!!! Glad you found it!!!!!
