And the Worst Employee Award goes to...

It's Thursday at 5:30 pm. During busy season. With lots to do.

But where do you find me? Oh...blogging, reading friends blogs, online browsing (I can't shop due to the fashion fast Jo & I are on but I can still look), and doing whatever else I can think of INSTEAD of doing taxes.

Why? I don't know...

Maybe it's because of the beautiful sunny and relatively warm weather.

Maybe it's because I killed myself on this return the past two days and my brain needs a break.

Maybe it's because I don't really like taxes and need to find something I really love.

Maybe it's because I'm just having one of those days where you can't concentrate and it has nothing to do with the weather or work.

But whatever the reason may be...I get the Worst Employee Award today. I feel so honored :)

Is it April 15 yet?

I want busy season to be over. I'm so over doing taxes. It's not like I'm working a TON (55-60 hours/week), but I'm tired of it. Does that mean I'm just tired of accounting? Or will things get better once it's slowed down and the weather is nice and I feel like I have a life again? Who knows? Only time can tell.

Luckily I have some things to look forward to which is helping me get through this horrible weather and work. BOSTON and NYC! That's right - I'm heading back east to go visit some friends after busy season is over. I can't wait! I've been missing NYC like I'd be missing my right arm if I didn't have it anymore. Plus I just feel like I need a change of scenery - even if it's just for a week.

I also have an awesome summer to look forward to. I don't have any real set plans for the summer yet, but my friends and I have already decided that it's going to be AWESOME! We've started a list of things we want to do and can't wait until the weather is nice enough to do them! Some of those things include:

- camping
- trip to CA
- trip to Vegas
- the state fair
- a rodeo
- hiking (I want to do the narrows)
- swimming ALL the time (we got season passes to Seven Peaks...yep...High School all over again haha)
- bonfires (or at least fires in Eric's fire pit in his back yard)
- back yard BBQ's (need to get a BBQ I guess)

This summer is going to be epic, right?!? If only it were here now... If only I weren't wearing a sweater with the heat jacked up to 80 (oh you read that right)... If only I didn't have to work every Saturday so I could play with my friends more... But only 3 more weeks! And as Mom always says - I can do anything for 3 weeks :)

Rewarding Myself

When you reach a milestone in your life (big or small) you should reward yourself. So I'm rewarding myself today with these:

And this

It's going to be a great day!!
