Chicago Recap

I'm Back!
Chicago was a blast and although I don't really like the cold weather it was fun to play in the 6 inches of snow that fell on Friday. The trip began on Wednesday when I arrived. Some other friends from Phoenix were also visiting so we all decided it was time to have lunch on Halsted. After a delicious sandwich we wandered into a local watering hole and proceeded to enjoy a frosty beverage. Someone then had the GREAT idea to walk down the East side of Halsted and have a drink inside every bar we walked past. For those of you who have never walked Halsted all I can say is "gurl.. you are fixin to get real drunkded" and we did. The next three days were basically a repeat of Wednesday with some Iron Chef competitions and a little College Basketball Tournaments thrown in for good measure. On my flight back I was one tired puppy so when Paw Paw picked me up we had a quick dinner and I was in bed by 10 PM. It was nice to wake up Monday morning without a hangover!!!

Mama He's Lazy

It's true. I have been sooo lazy the last few weeks. I bought some stuff to organize the closets and there they sit. They seem to sneer at me everytime I go get a pair of shoes. My office at work needs some luvin as well and yet here I sit. I am hoping that the trip to Chicago will motivate me and recharge my batteries. I am normally a very driven and focused person but lately it seems I am in some sort of haze. I guess I need a Claratin.

Captain No-Balls

Well... We finally did it. We took our boy in and had him "snipped". I was told by many that this would calm him down and make him a little less "feisty" however that is not the case. We have completely Puppy Proofed the entire house so at least he doesn't have anything to chew up but I swear that he sneaks out of the house and walks downtown and buys CRACK from some of our local Drug Vendors.
After a very busy first half of Tax Season I will be taking a very deserved mini vacation to Chicago for my very very very old( Were talking age not length of time known) friends B-Day. He is 128 years young!!! This time next week I will be sipping cocktails on their patio( If it's not snowing) and relaxing all my stress away.

Bad Dog!

So after 5 VERY well behaved months our little Buddy has turned into Crack Dog. Yes... He has somehow made it out of the house without our knowledge and purchased CRACK. He then smokes it on the way home!!! Its the only thing that explains his recent behavior. He started to shred paper that we left at BUDDY level. He has taken his anger out on a plant, 2 CDs, my business cards, a laser poiner that my Hubby used to tease him with, and just about everything else you can imagine. We were wondering at what age to have the Boy snipped but I think this recent behavior has proven that it must be Sooner than Later. He is also going to obedience school. Maybe I will get a discount if I send Buddy and Tom at the same time!

Not so bad

OK,

I was very stressed out when writing my last post. I had not had a day off in weeks and my normal schedule of 4 hours a day was a distant memory. I have to say that after a month of Tax Season things are not all that bad. I have actually had time to have dinner with the hubby, hang out with my sister, and go to the FT. Worth Stock Show in the last week(Wrangler butts for days!!!). I only have 2 more months of madness and then I will be reminded of why I signed on for this Tax life in the first place. Have you filed yet????

TAX SEASON

I am tired, cranky, and not a lot of fun to be around. I have 8 months a year that I pretty much set my own schedule but being a Regional Manager of a Tax company the next 4 months will be hell. Wish me luck!!!!
