I really need to get a new one but since I travel int'lly on a regular basis, I'm having a hard time figuring out when I can do it.
I would have thought you could have got the passport replaced when you managed to find time to get extra pages added. Obviously, it's up to you but you might find it less hassle to get it renewed than to be denied entry to some faraway place where you don't speak the language. But YMMV.
