And another bonus :-)

Well, maybe the economy is taking a little turn upwards, finally.  I just got a very nice surprise email from the owner of the company I do my side job for - he told me to add $300 to my billing for November as a Christmas bonus!  $300 more that can go into savings - how nice is that?!  It will be so nice going into the New Year with some cushion to fall back on and also to not spend all what I usually have in December for Christmas gifts and then be broke again.  I'm thinking 2012 is looking to be a better year than the past 3 years have been for us.
