things to think about today
1) asking for a raise
2) need to make more jewelry, and order clasps and head pins
3) getting to sleep earlier is a good thing

the last few nights i have gotten in bed before 11 and have fallen asleep before 11 too. maybe that is the trick. usually i am up and running around or downstairs on the sofa watching tv till 11 then i come up here and do stuff on the computer and am up till midnight
i think i am starting to take advantage of the fact that my boyfriend is predictable in the fact that he will be asleep well before 10 so i can actually go to bed by then too, not fearing to miss a call or anything like that.

i need to get my act together to ask for a raise. they are giving me more responsibilities and i am sure they are probably planning on giving me one but i need to let them know i really need one. i have never asked for one and i dont work at a place that gives performance reviews or has a ladder of advancement.... so i cant ask someone who works for aetna or anything like that.... i have to find out how to do it in a smaller environment.
i know you are supposed to list your accomplishments, well i dont really accomplish much i just do my job everyday, lots of it, lots of tasks, everyday.
so i have to get a list together and i have to get my points together as to why i need the raise. and then i have to find a time to ask.

plus i am nervous about asking anyway.....
afraid of rejection... you know me!

josh auditioned for the stage band yesterday, he said he was only up against one kid and he is a year younger and josh heard him mess up thru the door.
i prepared josh so that either way he would not a) gloat or b) be angry at the other kid
i told him to act like a scout no matter what and if the other boy gets it instead of him and he is boasting, for him to remind him that is not how a scout would act. (the other kid is a younger scout too)

speaking of scouts.... another meeting tonight.... more boards....
