Welcome!

I've finally decided that I am a writer - all the other things I do just pay the bills. Someone eloquent once said that if you do what you love, the money will follow. Well, let's just see about that.

RIP Aggie

RIP Aggie
Aggie was my fifteen-year-old cairn terrier - or maybe I should say I was her 55-year-old person! She was my faithful companion, spoiled rotten and I am still trying to figure out what to do without her.

This is Peter the gingersnap tabby! He's seven years old and has just been promoted to Peter the Very, Very Good. He is working his way up to Peter the Great...

Bee is Peter's buddy. He's eight years old and has made himself right at home. I guess cats really do come in pairs or sets of three!

And Jasper makes three!

Jasper is our new guy - the Cat From Another Place. He's four years old and we think he likes it here - so far, so good!

Profit and loss...

an enormous project is finally finished!  I am sure that while I didn't make much profit on it, I am not taking a loss either.  One of my clients owns a convenience store that is attached to a BP gas station.  Of all things, he is filing a claim against BP for loss of business due to the oil spill.  I haven't figured that one out yet - but it seems that nearly everyone with a business on the Gulf Coast has jumped at the chance to catch a ride on that train.  Anyhow, I have had to reconstruct his monthly income and loss for the past three years - since he is yet another small business owner who is a firm believer in not bothering with any sort of monthly bookkeeping.  I have prepared his tax returns for several years now and just recently convinced him to do his payroll and monthly sales tax reporting electronically.  Anyhow, I am so glad to have this project marked off my list.  And so next I am on to reminding my summer slackers about their 2010 tax returns!
