Moving On

I declared today casual day here. That means I don’t have to feel guilty about not getting dressed and wearing my mu-mu and robe all day long. I feel very lazy today and just want to get to work instead of doing all that dressing thing and combing the hair. Though, I did brush my teeth out of respect for the cats.

Hubby is out of town and DD and grandson left yesterday so we are all alone and loving the freedom.

We got some rain today–a bunch and boy we sure can use it. but now at mid day it seems to have stopped. The NOAH site says we should get some more. I hope so. It really is so dry and brown out there even with the rain we have had this week. The burn ban was lifted temporarily so the local farmers and ranchers could burn what they had piled up, but we still cannot have fires in the fire circle where we would love to cook hot dogs and sit around on the weekends.

MOVING ON

We finally got our taxes done. It took two trips and two returns to do it. I felt so stupid that I had not got all the stuff together but actually thought it was covered. See, I had this large brown envelope on my desk that I had been stuffing all tax stuff and it should have just be a matter of grabbing that envelope and going. But, it turned out that there were things that did not make it into that envelope. While at H & R Block questions arose that there were no papers to answer.

When we got home, I discovered several more 1099’s and so hubby had to go back the next day. Meanwhile, I spent the remainder of the day sorting, trashing and getting all the papers I could out of my office. Hubby then burned them all in a trash barrel when he got home. It took the better part of two hours to burn all those papers, that is how much there was. My filing cabinet drawer was stuffed, front to back when I started and now it is only half full. I found things from 30 years ago! But, it is all cleaned out now.

I remember going through my mother’s filing cabinet when she was moving one time and finding things like that. Now that she is in an assisted living home, my sister has had to go through all her papers and things and I just don’t want my daughters to have to weed through all my junk sometime in the future. So, now they won’t have to.

THE FREEBIE

Today’s freebie is a bow for you to recolor. The files include a ribbon too so you can match the bow up to a ribbon. Please note, there is only one bow, I just wanted to show it in different colors so you could see how well it takes the colors.
