I've impressed my bosses at temp job enough that they've asked that I stay on until the end of December (woo!)
I asked for a raise (go, ballsy me!) and got it (go raise!)
I went to on a weekend trip to the States and spent a lot of money (but it was totally worth it), but since it didn't touch my savings, and I'd just been given a raise, I figure it was my present to myself. We went up the space needle, had a lovely seafood dinner served by an appalling waitress, and, as is apparent, shopped our faces off. It was also the first time in a looong time that I'd gone away on a true holiday, and...I should probably do that more often. It was lovely.
And in that same vein, I also asked for 2 weeks off, and got it, so I'm going to EUROPE! Most of my savings will be focused on my travel fund for the next little while; I'll still be adding a bit to the emergency and apartment funds, and hopefully gifts, but I have some big catching up to do so that I can pay for my trip rather than pay visa to pay for my trip (which is not an option). I've set up a "count" of my savings on the sidebar there. Hopefully I can have the travel section there be $2000 by the time I leave. Here's to tangible goals!
