After reading Tia's blog about the Christmas decorations out before Halloween, I got thinking... Maybe it's a good thing that Christmas stuff is out longer than Halloween stuff. After all, Christmas is usually referred to as one of "God's holidays" and people usually refer to Halloween as "satan's holiday". Now, don't get me wrong, we can go into many debates about both of them, but I am just referring to generalities.

I have also been really sick of my job. I took on a new role as a superuser that is a 21 hour/week commitment while I now have to maintain all of my normal responsibilities. I did this because it sounds interesting, and I have been really bored at my current position. I also was slightly hoping that my boss would say no so I could use it at leverage to get more pay. There's also a talk of getting a hefty bonus when the project is done. Regardless of the monetary situation, it is good to get the exposure that this will give me. Yet, the same day I started this, I found out I could be making 1.5 or 2x the amount I am if I transferred over to the department here (I work out of our FL branch). Yet, who would want me on their team for only 20 hours a week? No one. Now, I am stuck. I have asked my rep and my vp about the raise that they have promised me since JANUARY that I have not received, and what do you know?... They haven't responded. I am trying to get e-mails because phone conversations can't be given to HR. Regardless, I am trying to figure out what I should do and if I should just suck it up and deal or what I should do. I have been going crazy lately.

I know that I will be moving to Mexico, but I don't know when. I am trying to figure out ways to prepare myself financially before I do. I don't want to be stupid. Yet, I will be obedient. I am preparing myself though for having to wait, as it can be hard for me. After my lease is up at the end of January, I am going to be moving back in with my parents. It will probably take me 4 months to pay off my credit card debt and then I'll start paying off my car. I look forward to being debt free. It could be really nice, as I haven't been since I turned 18 and got my first credit card.

Lastly, I have realized that I blog about kids a lot. It has basically been Mexico, Prims, Mexico, Mexico, Prims, Kauai, Prims, Mexico... I am going to try to go a week without blogging about Mexico or Prims...lol

Well, love everyone lots, there's a little bit about what's been going on in my life.

By the way, I need to take a poll. Does everyone consider an animal (like a dog) a roommate? and... Do you think it's "cruel" to leave a dog in a crate when you're relaxing and watching tv?
