I’m ready of nap, I haven’t done much but it sounds good.
Alright, where to start………yesterday Harold had to head into Portland and I needed to get my nails done. So I found a nail place on the only street I know……lol Of course, when I got there she couldn’t do my nails until much later. I asked if there was another nail salon around there, said I was sorry for being rude about it, but they needed to be done. The lady that was having a pedicure directed me to one not too far from there. Thankfully it was simple to get to. They did a pretty good job, which is good to hear with I needed my nails done while in the area.
I have been working on a project the last few days that I wanted to get topped off. End of the year receipts needed to be finished on entering it in my quickbooks. I got all those done, just need what ever we do within the next 6 days.
Every few years I redo my quickbooks set up, trying to utilize it and make it better organized. With doing the accounts for RMI, it has given me better ideas for our set up. I printed out my chart of accounts and started with setting up another company with better organization for our personal business.
I want to be able to use the check registry in the program, because it drives me nuts when I can’t get our bank account lined up with my registry. Somehow our personal account, after a few years, always end up off by $50 area. It is normally in our favor, so no big deal, but I HATE being off. Of course, every few years I open us another account, let the other one sit for a month or so to make sure everything clears then I clear it out. Sometimes it is easier to start fresh. I plan on doing that after we move farther into the city next year, why change the address on the checks after getting them? Besides since we are planning on staying in this area for the foreseeable future, so having that account based here would make our lives easier then explaining that it was opened online in Indiana so BOA placed it in Virginia…….a real pain.
Now I’m trying to motivate myself and to start moving the 2007 files over to storage container and set up the files for 2008. I also need to do that for RMI. I’m using plastic containers because after living in Fl. I didn’t want to worry about bugs, molds, and water getting to the files. But I’m wondering if I could get away with the file boxes………..I don’t know. I need to see what I have in the garage……more then likely stick with the plastic storage containers, because I’d rather be safe then sorry.
I have one work that I need to do, nothing much……I can probably knock the immediate work out within an hour. Just have no motivation for it.
Today, did the mundane Sunday job of cleaning the litters and gathering trash. I also went to the store since we were out of eggs and when I went make some pancakes for us the other day, I was disappointed.  When I went to the store, I wore my head band that has mistletoe hanging in front. I got some smiles and laughs. That is one thing that I miss working outside of the house during the holidays………getting people to smile and laugh. I like making people happy at xmas time, because smiles are contiguous and can be passed on, well to most people………..lol
Our tree looks really sparkly with presents under it. =) I hate the rush, rush of the holidays, but I do love giving presents. Don’t get me wrong, I love to receive them, but I really, really enjoy people’s reactions when they open their own gifts, making them feel special. I think that is why I prefer birthday shopping because I can give gifts without the rush, rush of the holidays.
I agree with my friend :
“Things I would keep for the season IF I could:
Lights
Cards (i love sending and receiving cards)
Music (both religious and secular) “Â
I love the music, more in the traditional sense.
It has been raining here, of course with it raining here then Mt Hood is getting a bunch of snow. Been hearing that the mountain passes are getting horrible. I need it to stop raining one night so I can walk the neighborhood and get some pictures of xmas lights.
The news is full of the midwest getting hit with the weather, so I called my mom to see how they are doing. I guess the 7-9 inches of snow that they got last week is gone and it is now very cold and very, very windy…….yuck I would rather have the snow. =)
Harold’s folks live in Minn., so they have been getting hit with the snow. That is normal for that state, while Indiana always does things strangely.
I remember when this guy did this in ‘94, it is in a town not too far from Purdue : Indiana Man Buys Truck With $25,000 In Change
A very good reason why to save your change.
