Hello Again!

It's so nice to be back in the blog world!
I've cut my tax season short because my mom had a knee replacement surgery.
All is well, and she is up and walking around.


I've been trying to keep up with you all.
Your blogs kept me going through a rough tax season!


I don't have a whole lot to report since I've last posted...
but here's a recap...


The snow has melted!
I handed my Hubs and son over to the golf course.
No, really.
I drove them out there, walked them in...
I told the owners... "Here they are, I don't want them back for a few months."
You would've done the same if you had boys swinging golf clubs IN THE HOUSE for the past few months.
The owner of the golf course is also a City Council member in our town.
She and I laughed over what a great headline it would be...
"Local woman turns over husband and son to the golf course".....
I know!
... its not a bad idea.
Monkey (yes, he a lefty) teeing off at the driving range yesterday.


I POURED over the new Flea Market Style magazine.
WOW!


I did a little thrifting.
(Thanks to Goodwill for being open late!)


Monkey started reading.
Hooray, but sniffles.
Will he still want to sit on my lap to read a book?


AND--- this is a big one....
... my hair is long enough for a ponytail again.
SWEET!!!

Okay- and one more little, tiny, thing....
After many years of throwing parties and planning events for myself and others--- my friends and family finally convinced me that it was time to turn it into an actual business.
I'm S.C.A.R.E.D!
Anyhoo... I started a website (read: blog). 
I made a page for it on facebook... if you are into facebook, would you be a 'fan'?
Geesh, I can't believe I'm asking... its just that... well- I haven't asked any of my 'real life' friends yet...
and wouldn't it be lovely if I already had some fans to start with before they saw it?  My friends would say, "Wow, who are all these people?".  And I would say, "They're my blog friends, silly."............

Go HERE to check out the facebook page.
Okay... I'm going to hit 'publish' now. 
Holding breath....

I Do Taxes. AUGH!

Hello!
Sorry I haven't been out there stalking you...
I do taxes for a living.
STOP!
No reason to be jealous. 


A pic from the garden last summer.


Anyhoo...
a few of you have sent me messages
asking if I'm still out here.
I am.
Well, I'm not here.
I'm stuck behind a desk.

I've been saying this is my last year to do taxes.
...for the past 3 years.

I have nothing to share...
I've accomplished nothing in my house...
unless you can count one load of laundry and...
nope, thats it. 
Nothing else has been done by me.
Thank goodness for Hubs.
He fed me and put me in bed tonight.
For real.
Told me I looked tired.
Polite way of telling me I look like pooh.
Hmm...
It was nice to be tucked in.


























I'll leave you with
the most important tax advice I can give you...

ALWAYS sit down and talk to your tax specialist.

You would be amazed at all the deductions/credits, etc. people are missing
out on.  Shame on all the tax preparers that sit behind a closed door.
They are doing a huge disservice to their clients.

I'll be back in blogland soon.
Miss you,
~Amy
