je t'aime, blissfulmama

...fessional that is. Or I feel that way anyhow.

I have been awarded my first sizable bonus! After busting my hump for over a year, making every effort to go above and beyond and working on a special team that dealt with escalation type issues, it's paid off!

Finally getting something for all that extra is really nice. The beauty of the bonus was that it was totally unexpected. Such a lovely surprise! And the kudos that came a long with it were just as sweet as the cash I'll be getting on my next check.

....750....

I'm heading to Ikea with a small chunk of it to purchase a workspace/storage solution for my crafties, which have taken over at the casa. Some sorta solution has been much needed for the past couple of months.

And the rest of it will go into the land/house tax fund. How thrilling and exciting, heh?

Tim got a bonus too. Bigger than mine. He teetered with the idea of getting an HD TV, but that woulda used pretty much all of his $$$ and we've been talking about buying a Mac for a while. It looks like we'll be purchasing a sparkling white MacBook for me! Now that I'm a bonafide Apple employee, I get a 25% discount.

Now the quest for a pretty but functional carrying case for my white beauty begins...
