5 more days until Christmas!

I haven't been in the blogging spirit lately. Maybe because I consider my life pretty boring. But I'm in the mood for a quick update so here it goes....

We're so broke this Christmas it's not even funny. We don't have a tree, we don't have presents, we barely have food and gas. Andrew hasn't gotten paid from his sub-contracting job since Sept and we've been making do with my measly salary (which isn't enough to cover the rent + car payment let alone anything else). I know the economy sucks and everything but we get paid from a Canadian company so they have no excuse! I'm probably going to have to suck it up and borrow money from my parents to be able to buy gas to get around to our families for Christmas! I hate borrowing money from my parents, especially at Christmas time. But it's a little out of my control right now.

In better news I'm really starting to like my new position in Criminal. People talk to me now which is nice and I'm really liking my boss even though I was a little scared to work for her at first :). For the first time in awhile I don't dread going to work! I applied for a court room clerk position a couple weeks ago and I had an interview Wed which went horribly!!! I'm pretty sure I'm not in the running but I'm actually ok with it because I think I'd rather stick around in Criminal.

The candle business is going pretty well. It's slow right now but I did way better than I ever thought I would! The new catalog is coming out in January so I'm pretty excited about that. What I'm not excited about is that 2 different people (one who happens to be related to me!) have given me checks that have bounced!! And even worse than that my bank not only takes the money back from me but they charge me an extra $6! WTF?? Like it's my fault that the check bounced? I wouldn't have deposited it if I had any idea it wasn't good. It's a crock! I do take credit cards but of course I lose a percentage when I do it that way but I'm seriously considering going that route. My webpage is mygc.com/sarahkaba if anyone is interested :).

Hmmm... let's see, what else is new? I'm reading Marley and Me and I can't wait to see the movie!! I bet 90% of the people in the audience will be Lab owners. Oh, I was on the Holiday party committee at work this year and it was a ton of fun! I brought in a bunch of centerpieces which I made out of glass bowls with red and silver ornaments in them and I got to help decorate. We had secret santas at work too and mine gave me a big Hot Chocolate mug with a saucer that I LOVE and a set of bowls that have sugar cookie makings inside. I'm going to break into them tomorrow I think. Monday I have training all day which is cool because it means I only work 8:30-4 instead of 8-5. Extra 1.5 hours to myself! Hooray! And last week I got to observe Misd and Felony arraignments and a Felony law and motion calender which was awesome. I always wonder what's going through the judge's heads when they decide to release or not release people from custody. Oh that reminds me that I'm thinking about taking a Criminal Justice class at the community college this spring just for fun. Sometimes I really hate my job and I think I need to get into a different line of work and then something always comes along to remind me that I love the Judicial system... even with all it's flaws :).

I want to see marley and me and I don't have a lab. I just have a stinky old dalmatian.

I hope your situation gets better soon. The economy is bringing so many people down. If I didn't get my second job I wouldn't have bought any presents as well.

How did your christmas turn out though? Did you get to see all your family?

Hello everyone!
I would like to burn a theme at here. There is such a thing, called HYIP, or High Yield Investment Program. It reminds of ponzy-like structure, but in rare cases one may happen to meet a company that really pays up to 2% daily not on invested money, but from real profits.

For quite a long time, I earn money with the help of these programs.
I don't have problems with money now, but there are heights that must be conquered . I make 2G daily, and I started with funny 500 bucks.
Right now, I managed to catch a guaranteed variant to make a sharp rise . Visit my blog to get additional info.
