My Tax Nightmares Revisited

admin — Thu, 15 Jul 2010 17:12:06 +0000

Based on the fact that I have a degree in accounting, you would think I would be ideally suited to do taxes for people. Not so. That crap overwhelms me, and while I have had my fair share of taxes to do for myself, I certainly do not want to take on anybody else’s. H & R Block and those other tax professionals can certainly handle everything – I’ve heard good things about them. Family members have used them for years, and I even have relatives who took the classes offered by them so that they could go work for them.

You have to assume they know what’s going on – they’ve bee around a zillion years and are still going strong. Maybe I will try them next year.

My busy weekend

admin — Fri, 14 May 2010 17:13:17 +0000

Well, we now have 4 scheduled dog visits – the nice thing is that they are coming to us! They all range in age from 5 years to 9 years! I could be a Mom this weekend! Of course, we have nothing for a dog yet. I was going to start stocking up on dog food since I try to find good sales, but then I thought the dog we get might have a special diet need, so I decided to wait.

On another note, we have a “couples get together” this weekend. We rarely have anything planned, so between the get-together and the dog visits our weekend is very full. Actually, I am feeling a bit overwhelmed!

The next weekend a friend of ours is having a get-together to celebrate her daughter’s graduation from high school.

I almost feel important.

Legacy Boxer Rescue in Hurst, TX – we’re getting a dog!

admin — Thu, 13 May 2010 01:28:45 +0000

I’m in the process of trying to find the perfect dog. We are checking out Boxers form Legacy Boxer Rescue in Hurst, TX. We are for sure going to see 3 dogs this weekend, and possibly more. I am SO excited about having a dog in the house – they are so sweet. My husband wants a really big boxer – I want a Boxer. To me, I love all dogs, but my husband is waiting for that “feeling” you get when you know it’s the one. I’ve had that feeling several times. Anyway, very excited. Maybe we will have our new dog this weekend. Keep your fingers crossed.

Trying to get my tree trimming done

admin — Tue, 11 May 2010 16:12:22 +0000

I don’t know why, but it seems like i am constantly spending money getting my trees trimmed. We bought our house in 2003, and the psychopath that owned the house before us had a tree fetish. There were about 60 trees on our regular standard lot (80′ x 120′). We have had all but 5 trees removed, so now i am getting ready to remove them. Gotta get an estimate. Our neighbor said they were pretty, but what she doesn’t know is that they have completely destroyed the driveway, damaged the foundation, and roots are growing into the pipes causing our water to backup. Nasty. So easily I will be spending a grand to get these trees removed, but at least this will be the last time. Once we get them removed and get a new driveway I will be sure to get trees whose roots grow deep instead of on the surface. I can sure think of better ways to spend money than this.

Making Money With My Hobby by Licensing My Films

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 16:27:06 +0000

Seriously – I didn’t think I’d have the opportunity to sell any of my little film clips that I like to make on the weekends as sort of a relaxing hobby, but I found out that I can actually license my films using mobile content licensing through mDistribute. It’s a great way to make some extra cash while making sure that my films are protected through licensing.

I was always afraid of having someone steal my work…now I don’t have to worry about it. Apparently, now that we can take the internet anywhere we go with our smart phones, laptops, etc, there are always companies looking for video content using animation, regular short movie clips, adult content, etc. I just think it’s cool that “amateur me” has a place to go and make some money!

Vacation Rentals

admin — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 18:46:23 +0000

My first instinct when I travel is to book a hotel…however, I am considering different types of vacation rentals for my next trip, such as condos, timeshares, etc. I have not done much traveling, but I think it is time to start considering more vacations. We were considering going to New York for New Year’s Eve, so perhaps a New York vacation rental would be appropriate.

A friend of mine is heading to Colorado, and she found a great place in Keystone. When I went skiing before I never even considered a Colorado vacation rental, but now I am open to all kinds of places to stay. I am sure it will feel so much more like home than a hotel, and it would make a great family vacation!

I just know there is more to see in the world than I have seen, so I just need to get out there.

Trade In Your Purse for a Discount at Dillards

admin — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 00:05:57 +0000

I went to Dillards today to look at a purse I have been lusting after for quite some time. I asked if they had any specials going on right now and the woman in the purse department told me that on Tuesday (October 27) they will give you a discount on a purse if you bring in an old one! I am not sure what the complete discount scale is, but the purse I am looking at costs $178.00 and she said if I bring in an old purse I can get $40 off! (She said if you spend $200 you get $50 off.) So if you have been waiting for a purse to go on sale, you may not need to wait for much longer. She said it doesn’t matter what condition the purse is in.

Dallas Cowboys Disappointment

admin — Mon, 05 Oct 2009 20:57:25 +0000

I’m not a football fan, but do you ever wonder why Tony Romo is still a Dallas Cowboys quarterback? I hear it all the time in conversation: in normal every day conversation people say how “great” he is, but the day after a football game they are just beating the crap out of this guy.

His inconsistency cannot be mistaken even by someone who doesn’t watch football, so I sit here and wonder why they keep saying he is so great? Is it because he is just so sweet and lovable that no one really wants to hurt the guys feelings? The constant disappoint of the fans brought on by this guy’s inability to throw the football so that someone – other than Witten – can catch it makes me wonder what Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys franchise is thinking.

I’m not criticizing…just wondering…
