Well it is finally over and put away...2009 tax season that is!! We made it through and hubby and I took 2 days off last week to celebrate and recharge. I love my job and enjoy doing taxes, but 4 months of 6 days a week, 9-11 hour days can get to you after awhile. So to celebrate, hubby bought me a gift...only hubby could find the perfect gift for me...a yellow magnolia tree!!! I love it!!! We are redoing some landscaping in the back yard after tearing out some bad bushes last fall. We have a clean slate to work with and have now put in 2 burning bushes and the yellow magnolia! We also bought 2 new bird feeders and a new hummingbird feeder. We both love watching the birds from our deck and especially those crazy hummingbirds!! They fly at such amazing speeds and will fly right by your ears!
Now that we are back to a regular schedule, hubby and I will be riding to work together every morning. It saves on gas for one thing, but it gets me up and going so that I get to work early and therefore, can leave at 5pm. Left to my own, I would get to work around 8:30 or 9am and then have to work until 6pm. Seems like when that happens, we don't get to do as much in the evening as we like. Last year we both got bikes and we have been trying to take rides in the evenings. I have a basket on mine for the dog, but he does not get that excited about going. Could be that the first time I put him in the basket, I ended up dumping him right out!!
I have been doing some great shopping on www.shopgoodwill.com . got some wonderful buys for daughter in law for her every changing shape...baby shape that is..she is due in Sept and needs comfy clothes. I spent $68.78 and got her 2 dresses, 5 tops and a pair of jeans!! Pretty good...
you should check out the site. You get to shop all the goodwills in the country!!!
Hubby and I joined the Partners In Prayer group at church and have been praying for 6 families from our church. It has been very good for us and I hope for the families we have been praying for. We will get a new group each month. It will be interesting to hear how things go after a few months. I hope that everyone will keep to their commitments and that is becomes a fixture in our church.
Well need to get some accounting and payroll tax returns done today. Enjoy the weather this weekend..it was 71 degrees this morning at 6:30am!!!
