I just got my first Israeli credit card. It's a Visa with a 12,000 shekel limit. That comes out to approximately $3,333.33 (repeating) USD. Considering my insanely large amount of debt in the U.S. it is very exciting for me to have actual money in the bank and an actual credit card. To have my own money that I actually earned. Money I'm working my

They have a lot of work to do because they are a rapidly growing company. And I am very, very good at what I do. The only bad thing for me right now is that I've gone over the tax bracket because I'm working so much overtime that I will have to pay a ridiculous amount in taxes. Which is going to put a serious dent in my paycheck at the end of the month. I'm furious about this. My real boss (the founder / ceo of the company) is coming to Israel for a visit and I'm going to speak with him as well as the guy who hired me to see if we can work something out where they pay me under the table for all the hours I'm working overtime. This way I can work as much as I need to and not pay so much in taxes.

My boss also said that he could give Jaje the job (he asked me if I knew anyone who was looking for work and I told him my husband didn't have his papers yet and he said it was not a problem). I even asked him if he wanted his resume and he said, "no need. i trust you." So when he comes to Israel, I'm going to go meet him and talk to him. The only thing is that I'm trying to make a name for myself in the company and I'm doing a very good job right now (that's why he trusts me when I've only been working less than 2 months there). I don't want Jaje to do badly and then it reflect badly on me since not only did I bring him in but he's also my husband. I don't want him to ruin a perfectly good opportunity for me.

I have some awesome pictures of Elliot from Purim yesterday, all dressed up and looking adorable. I will take some more pictures today. We're taking her to a carnival right now. I'll post them soon. There isn't very much exciting stuff in Israel really. It's just like any other place. Nothing too special. hehe.

Yeah, that's the bad thing about recommending spouses, relatives, or friends for a job where you work - if they fuck up, it reflects badly on you. He better do a kick-ass job if he gets hired!

I would love to see some updated pix of the little princess. I'm sure she's even cuter than the last pix you posted.

Yeah I'm starting to reconsider. On one hand, I want him to make money so we have two incomes and I can work 8-9 hours a night instead of 10-11. On the other hand, I'm lucky to have found a good job with a fairly new and highly successful company which is growing at a rapid pace. To be with a company when it's just starting to grow gives me great opportunities as I can help the company grow and in turn grow with it. I do not want to risk this by bringing in a potential screw-up. This is very important to me. If it wasn't, I wouldn't think twice about it. But I feel good with this company and I feel very good about the direction it's taking and I'd like to stick with it and see where it leads and where it takes me. I do not want to fuck it up (in summation). So I don't know what to do.

Pictures of Elliot are coming very soon. I have some great shots I took but I have to find the cord to my camera. There is one on my latest post (and two or three on facebook) that my cousin took. Check it (or them) out and I promise to post some really good ones this week. She is totally adorable when she's all dressed up. And amazingly so in her cute little devil/angel outfit (which unfortunately we no longer have any use for :'( I hope I can find someone to donate it to).
