Bonus!! Wait...What?

November 13th, 2008 at 11:56 pm

Confusion...

Happy confusion none the less.

So while corporate is busy packing their bags at my husband's company, spending has also come to a complete halt. Not paying for any flights, moving expenses or extras unless absolutely needed.

So imagine our surprise when my husband went to work yesterday to find out he got a one thousand dollar bonus!

This is where the confusion comes in...they tell my husband that at some point (maybe 2 months, maybe 2 years) he quite possibly may be laid off, yet give him a bonus?

Either way, fine with us. I'm just glad his management finally recognized all of his hard work. We can only hope that this means his job is safe, for now.

We talked about it and I whole heartily think that he should take a hundred of it and buy himself something nice (he NEVER does) and save the rest. He deserves it. Ironically he has a birthday coming up :-)

I'm ALMOST done with holiday shopping. Just a few more items. And guess what? I came in at budget!!

I'm waiting until black Friday to buy a few of the items. I'm NERVOUS lol. I've never done black friday shopping before at the mall. A friend of mine went to Sears a couple years ago, and she came back with nothing but horror stories. Haha. She said some lady tried to push her out of the way to get a small tool set...

Craziness.

If it is too crazy, I'm turning my car around and coming home. But I plan to hire a body guard (AKA my hubby) :-)

I got registered with school on Monday. Two of my classes only had night classes open...so on Tuesday and Wed. I will be making two trips to campus. Joy. But if that's my only choice, then w/e.

Tuition without book cost came to 1,048.00, books will be about 400. Not too bad for full time. About what I expected.

Unfortunately, this means that our first anniversary (Hubby & I) will have to celebrated on the weekend...my first day for Wed. classes (a morning and evening class) lands on that day.

So many hoops :-)

Oh! By the way, if anyone would like a nice christmas gift idea...

I took advantage of this to make a wedding book, we didn't order one with the photographer (they wanted a hundred bucks....7 sounds better lol).

    Congratulations!!!...yes, hubby should be MADE to spend something on himself!...

    I LOVE Black Friday sales!...when we were married, ex hubby and I used to fly to Miami just for that! (he worked for an airline and the tickets cost us $80 each, so it was worth it!)

    FAB bonus!! COnrgats! We (me and my mom and sis) do Black Friday every year. Even last year when I had already finished my shopping before hand and didn't need anything, I went. It's a long-standing tradition with us. Up at 4 am, stop for coffee, in line by 5, finish shopping by 9, one more coffee stop, and home by 10 to take a nap. LOL We're crazy. *smile*

    Oh no, I'm so done with Black Friday! NOT worth it in my book. Since discovering Fatwallet hot deals, I've learned that good deals can be found all year. There is just NOTHING on Black Friday that is a reason for me to freeze my butt off when I could be sleeping.
