Its beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Woo! Nearly home time! I cannot fucking wait! I am counting down the days, I cannot wait to be out of work and out of America! I like America, don't get me wrong, but I miss my family and friends and fun stuff like that.

Work has been crazy, new people, clash of personalities, me losing my shit. Ragh! But in other exciting news, yours truly got the raise she much deserved! Hoorah! Go me! Not effective until January and the first pay date being 15th, but I will once again have some disposable income. Go me! It worked out to be a 33% raise. 33%! That is bringing me nice and competitively in line with the market. So go figure as to how little I am being paid now. The payroll is all automated now for the next year, until someone leaves or we get bonuses. I know all this, because this is part of my job now. I am also a signatory on the company bank account Go me! This also means that I finally get to do less customer service stuff. HOORAH!

Christmas is going to be so fun. I get to see my friends, who I miss dearly, and I can't wait to show of my lovely family to them. I also have been stocking up on a lot of chocolate and candy and stuff like that for their little sweet teeth. Natalie, my wonderful almost sister but not quite (her daughter Pearl and Addie are best YGG buddies!)

Natalie put in an order for the following candies. And will receive:

HUZZAH!

When I get my raise I am going to send treats to everyone. I promise.

I am a little behind on my Xmas shopping, I sent Nikki (although she is getting a New England gift voucher!) and Lisa something, picked something up for Ria and Fleur (sorry Fleur its very little :/) and my brothers got a genuine US army backpack thing for his "antics". Need to get something for my sorta almost step mum and step sister Gemma, and maybe Olie's wife. I am going to get Patrick a voucher for tattooing. Dad so far has a book about NH and will be getting some socks and vests from Walmart, on his request. Dad's are hard to shop for!

In other news I am having a major hair cut this weekend. I have a lot of hair now and I want it shifted seeing as I am over 40lb lighter!!
