A Dog's Life

I wish I could have the life my "babies" have.... sleeping all day, someone waiting on me all the time and lots and lots of lovin'

They always find the most comfortable spot in the room and settle in. I spend some of my spare time scrapbooking. My basement is semi-finished and has a couch, table and chairs and an old bedroom suit as the furniture. I use the table and have everything spread out all over the place. Pepper and Paige, well, they like the bed. They like it so much they would mess up the covers and I'd try to keep the bed made so it looked decent. I spent more time doing that than scrapbooking so I figured what the heck. I just let them do what they want.

Here's the proof!



Right now.... they are on the love seat in the office snoozing. Must.be.nice.

Oh well, better late than never

Found this on another blog (Hi Mel!) so tried it myself.

Your Candy Heart Says "Hug Me"

A total sweetheart, you always have a lot of love to give out. Your heart is open to where ever love takes you! Your ideal Valentine's Day date: a surprise romantic evening that you've planned out Your flirting style: lots of listening and talking What turns you off: fighting and conflict Why you're hot: you're fearless about falling in love

What Does Your Candy Heart Say?

Hmmmmm.....

I've been remiss.......

Haven't blogged for awhile. So what's been happening lately.....

#1 - well, the Seahawks lost the Super Bowl :( I was sad but life goes on. Hopefully, they'll be back next year

#2 - taxes.... good news on that front. I finally got the darn things done and filed today! I was very surprised at my federal refund. Definitely will be welcome. And, got to love the state of Ohio (sometimes). I used I-file on the state website and within minutes had both the state and school district returns filed. If I remember right, I had my refunds in less than a week last year. Sure hope it is that fast again this year.

Well, the winter Olympics have started so there isn't a whole lot else on the good old boob tube. Although NASCAR season starts tonight. But it just isn't going to be the same without #2.

Uggggggggghhhhhhhhh -- Taxes

I'm horrible at doing my own personal bookkeeping. I do it all day long at work so when I get on the computer at night, I want to do fun things, not data entry of money matters into Quicken.

In order to do my tax return, the Quicken program has to be up-to-date. So guess what I've been working on this week. Yep, entering all those dang little receipts that take up 2 not-so-small Longaberger baskets. So far I've gotten several credit card accounts reconciled, the mortgage loan up-to-date and paychecks and cash receipts entered. Now I have to tackle the main credit card account (dreading it), all those checks written this past year and balancing the checking account. And, that's just the personal accounts! Last time I did all of this was February of 2005. Only 10 months of 2005 to do.

I haven't even tackled the "business" account. There wasn't a whole lot of activity and I quit the business March 31 so hopefully it is pretty much done.

Since I want to get my taxes filed this weekend (hoping for a nice sized refund) I guess I better keep on plugging....

Tomorrow is another day. Now is time to get some sleep.

Night all :)
