Spygirl | Saturday, February 08, 2003 - 08:02 pm     1. I spent 7 hours working on my taxes today. I don't think it was worth the money I saved by doing them myself. 2. I've done my taxes for the last 12 years, but this was the first year I am also self-employed (Mary Kay). 3. I got back about $200 more than I was anticipating. That is great news. 4. Jbean, the interview is in Wichita Kansas -- so not terribly close, but closer than Louisiana! 5. I also cleaned my bathroom today -- THOROUGHLY. 6. In addition, I spent a great deal of time working on my Mary Kay stuff (i.e. getting orders done, upgrading some things, and setting up my customer mailing program -- things I've been meaning to do for a year). 7. I would like to build up my Mary Kay business so that I can offset the fact that I am likely going to take a lower paying job than I should. 8. I suspect that I am falling in love with the program and the people at the university in Kansas, and it pays a significant amount less than most other universities. It appears that I prefer having a warm heart and a cold pocketbook rather than the other way around. I'm a sap. 9. I took my dogs to the vet last week. Toby had his teeth cleaned and Henry was groomed. 10. Tomorrow I will work on my dissertation and interview presentation since my taxes and Mary Kay occupied my time today. |
Weinermr | Saturday, February 08, 2003 - 08:15 pm     1. I LOVE preparing income tax returns (estate tax returns too). |
Fanny | Saturday, February 08, 2003 - 08:32 pm     1. I do my own taxes, too. 2. I do mine backwards..I decide how much of a refund I want and go from there. |
Weinermr | Saturday, February 08, 2003 - 08:36 pm     LOL - Done much prison time? |
Spygirl | Saturday, February 08, 2003 - 08:50 pm     HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA |
Merlin | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 11:46 am     1. Today is good. I was able to chat with a friend who is an early riser like myself this morning and it was great to catch up on events and the current message board drama. Our childhoods have so much in common that it was never in doubt to me that we would be the best of friends. 2. I have completed my bulk cooking that I always try to do on Sundays. I get lazy during the week so I try to prepare healthy meals on Sunday. Today I prepared a total of 8 meals that consist of....lean turkey, cabbage, brown rice and the balance made up of lean turkey chili and red beans. 3. I was raised with a stay at home Mom who prepared three meals a day. This has always meant to me that if you went to this trouble it was out of love. As a result, if someone has done this for me, or I have done it for them, it has carried this same connotation. It is hard to break old traditions. I have learned to accept that when I do it for myself. |
Cyn | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 01:15 pm     1. My mom was a stay at home and cooking mom too, and boy is she ever the best cook. We even had a big garden and we would can and freeze for winter, cause she thought the grocery produce wasn't nutritional enough. A part of her was hippie-esque growing up. She has now abandoned this effort because it is so time consuming and the grocery now offers organic. 2. I did the Sunday cooking when I first started this job, but being that I live alone and my time is so consumed with labor I take full advantage of living in NYC with all the choices of eating out and buying fresh prepared full meals at the groceries. 3. I think eating at home is the healthiest, because I believe the energy of the person who prepares the food goes into the meal. And when love goes into the effort of preparing it, it makes it taste a zillion times better. 4. I ate yogurt, banana cake and tuna sandwich with chicken noodle soup so far today, plus drank a vitamin water (Power C) and some coffee and some peach tea. |
Resortgirl | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 01:58 pm     1. My mom was a stay at home mom, but not the best cook...lol! 2. I love to cook, but wish I had a nicer kitchen to do it in. 3. I made hot wings, rice and black beans and a pasta salad for "dinner" We always eat early on Sunday and then get blankies and pillows and spend the balance of the afternoon and evening watching movies. 4. I am tooooo full, I wish it was warmer out so we could go for a walk outside. 5. I think I'm going to bundle up and go for a walk outside!! |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 02:25 pm     1. I did absolutely nothing today. 2. I am going to eat dinner at my sister 3. She lives in the apartment underneath me 4. I am a little nervous about going to work tomorrow. 5. I also love to cook 6. I can't wait for the winter to end. |
Resortgirl | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 02:32 pm     Brrrrr.... It's only 10 degrees and the walk was invigorating to say the least! I've heard you burn more calories when you're cold... I think I'm gonna have dessert now! LOL! |
Whoami | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 02:58 pm     "I am going to eat dinner at my sister. I hope this isn't like the Sushi Woman thing that was on the Surreal Life a few weeks ago! I'm sure you meant "at your sister's apartment?"  |
Ginger1218 | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 04:44 pm     LMAO yes mom, I had dinner at my sister's apartment. |
Squaredsc | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 05:21 pm     1. i fell on some black ice in our parking lot in front of my house on friday evening. 2. i am sore on one arm and the opposite leg. 3. i wish i didn't have to go to work tomorrow but im meeting with my new teamleader so she can show me my new desk. 4. after that if im still very sore i will leave work early. 5. i had a lovely dinner tonight at outback with my mom and 2 aunts, we were taking my mom out for her birthday, it was great. great food and great convo, i am still stuffed. 6. i brought most of my food home and will have it for lunch tomorrow. 7. now i have to try to find something to wear to work tomorrow. oh i also came home and dh has painted one wall in our bedroom. i don't think its going to match the new bed that will be delivered on wednesday. 7 1/2. the bed has a cherry finish, the walls are dark magenta. he says it will work, we will see. |
Jbean | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 06:56 pm     1. i did my taxes online today. 2. it was supposed to be "FREE", but that was a trick (H&R Block got a nice "feedback" email from me. 3. i found an affordable car that i fell in love with today, i will go to the dealership tomorrow after work and see what happens. 4. i didn't workout as much as i should have this week, and therefore i am sore from yesterday's workout. 5. i wonder how it is possible to workout 4 times a week (most of the time) and not lose any weight. 6. it is hell being a woman. 7. i only had one drink when i went out with the kids last night. 8. one was enough, since he filled the glass about 3/4 full of clear stuff! |
Spygirl | Sunday, February 09, 2003 - 07:22 pm     1. I have a cell phone that I don't go anywhere without. 2. I am continuing to feed stray cats in the neighborhood. One finally let me pet it last night, but it was only once. 3. I have had acryllic nails since I was about 14 years old, minus the first three years of graduate school. 4. I have tanned every spring in a tanning bed since I was about 15 years old. My mom and I own a tanning bed. She said I could take it with me when I move this next time. 5. I have a serious addiction to Karaoke singing. 6. I haven't played my piano in about 17 months and I feel guilty every time I go into the front room and see it there. I may end up selling it or giving it to my parents. 7. Pretty sad that I would make more use out of my tanning bed than my piano. 8. I tried to watch Kingpin tonight and found it way too violent for my taste. 9. I got a lot done on my interview presentation today. Still not much on the big "d". |

Taking Bogie for a W-A-L-K today after work because I promised him I would if the big yellow thing in the sky was out. 4. Whatdya call that big yellow thing in the sky again? |

Cyn | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 07:29 am     1. I am taking the train today to work. 2. I am not going to live in fear. 3. I am going to enjoy life. 4. Sometimes life is difficult. 5. I am happy with my life and all of its ups and downs and inbetweens. 6. I wish I was going to a quiet place for relaxation too, and my puppy wants me to get him a kitty, cause he loves them so much, and they usually like him too, and the puppy likes to sit in the rays of the big yellow ball in the sky when it shines through our window. |
Wargod | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 08:17 am     1. I used to have a cell phone and never used it, always had hundreds of minutes left at the end of the month. 2. When my step dad had his heart attack, we found out how easy it was to use that cell phone, and passed out the phone number to everyone we knew. 3. That month for the first time, we used all our minutes plus many others and had an outrageous bill. 4. Two months later we cancelled our service for it and I haven't missed it but a handful of times.....usually when I'm driving my car. 5. Both kids are out of school today. I have a long list of chores for them to do, plus a couple crafts that I hope they'll enjoy. 6. I love Spy's new car, and am very happy for her. 7. My sister waited til 7am this morning to inform me my neice will no longer be going to preschool, since she's been missing so much lately from being sick...the reason this affects me? Because I took her to and from school and she asked me to let them know Brit wouldn't be coming back...I put my foot down and said no...and that she'd have to let Brit go in and say goodbye to her friends and teachers! |
Weenerlobo | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 10:51 am     1. Welp, the big yellow thing is no longer in the sky. 2. In fact, I think we've got about one more inch of snow, with more coming down. 3. Glad I'm going to the cancer box (tanning salon) today after work. 4. Thinking that my dog is not gonna get that W-A-L-K that I promised him. 5. I had a sesame chicken combo dish for lunch, which was tooo good and now I regret eating so much. 6. We went to a Detroit Fury arena bowl game yesterday and laughed so much. We had a whole suite to ourselves and had a lot of fun. I do miss the NFL games, even though arena bowl seems to have a lot more energy to it. 7. It's funny, but no matter who I talk to, everybody has seen Joe Millionaire and every single person thinks Evan is a doofus. 8. I'm 60% through the 4th Harry Potter book and I am addicted. Now I gotta find out where to stick my name on a list for the 5th one! |
Jbean | Monday, February 10, 2003 - 07:04 pm     1. i hate snow (after this winter) and decided i would like to move to california. 2. i went and looked at and drove the car that i fell in love with yesterday and decided that i love it even more 3. they offered me close to what i owe on the piece of junk that i own now, which was what i wanted accomplished. 4. tomorrow i will call the credit union and see if i can't do this. 5. everyone keep your fingers crossed for me, as i really need something more reliable to drive. 6. today was a half decent day. 7. i wish it were closer to the weekend. 8. i am going to the annual chili cookoff on saturday. you go around and sample different chili's and drink. it is a BLAST. 9. last year i participated in a booth at the chili cookoff. our booth was gilligan's island, and i was ginger....complete with a red wig and formal...lol. |
