A choice

My work is based on production. If you exceed your quota by 10% for the year, you are entitled to a bonus. This year, I didn't think I had a chance at it so I didn't kill myself. The year ends for us on Sept. 30th and I decided to take a look and see if it was even possible.

It is.

But I have to work SUPER HARD to get there.

If I manage to do it, I'll have enough for a couple of things I've been admiring. This ...



... and this ...



Plus, I'll have some left for some Christmas shopping

Or, I could just cruise along at work and not kill myself.


Well, I've decided to buckle down and go for it. This being the case, I will likely be working at home for the next month or so rather than painting, decorating or crafting so I may not post as much.


I'll definitely be looking forward to October 1st ... Wish me luck!

    Good Luck - I hope you get that bonus! I would so love for you to get your new camera. Course then I will have camera envy but I'll get over it. ;)

    I have a canon rebel XT and I LOVE it. I have a ton of pictures posted on my blog if you want to take a peek and see how the pictures come out.

    I think I'd probably go for it too. I'm dying for a camera like that! I'm using a $100 Kodak Easy Share that's about 4 years old and I'm so tired of it!

    I have that camera--you will LOVE it! I just treated myself to a new 55-300mm lens for it and am in love all over again =)
    I've just started playing with my sewing machine again, your dream one looks like it will do lots!
