good things do happen!

If you don't follow me on twitter, you may not know. But on Tuesday afternoon I got a very unexpected, yet totally appreciated phone call. I got a call from HR letting me know I got promotion (and a raise, and extra PTO days)!!!!!!I wasn't expecting this, our mid-year reviews were weeks ago, and these things don't normally happen to operations folks at Corporate America (aka my employer).

Needless to say I was shocked, thankful and overly excited!!! I had started to lose hope a while ago that anything would ever happen - it is true what they say, act like you are doing the job you want, push yourself and try your hardest - it will pay off. Beyond excited that it did! So what does one get themselves as a self-congratulations gift???? I have no clue! I am all set with handbags (although, you know I've looked -this amazing deal specifically) but I can't figure out what to treat myself to!

I want to make sure it isn't an impulse buy, and that I don't need to wait at least 3-4 months to use (aka pretty sandals or floaty dresses) - so I've consulted my list - and here are a few of the front runners. (Now the question becomes, a larger ticket item or a few littler ones??? le sigh.)
