I was sitting here waiting for my sister to bring me homemade cookies (haven't seen them yet) when the thought struck me....what happened to the "Ax-Men"? Perhaps when I looked at Doug and his beard it reminded me of that show. Anyway, just wondered when or if it will be on again. Gotta love those Oregon loggers! I just looked it up online and am relieved to find there will be a new season beginning in March. Hooray! Also FYI for those who enjoy the show...they have a facebook page. I mean if I didn't have Ice-Road Truckers (whiners) and Ax-Men what would my life be like? I wouldn't know I had a real life if it wasn't for reality shows.
Oh wait a minute....I don't have a life.

Nothing much new....
Morgan tells me I need to update my blog more often. I would if more interesting things happened to me.....but they don't, especially at this time of year.
Here is my life in January - work and taxes...that's almost as bad as death and taxes, but I don't want to experience that just yet. This year I am trying to figure out how I'm going to fit in workouts at the gym besides the work and taxes...haven't ever tried that before. Well, where there's a will, there's a way. I'll have to see what I can do because I do not want to lose all the buffness I have acquired these past 5 months. I know many of you actually don't recognize me, but when I see you, I'll let you know its me. I kind of like travelling incognito! Its the next best thing to an invisibility cloak.
Also at this time of year while I am living the mole life ( or in espanol, that's pronounced "mo-lay") time goes by pretty fast. I don't know if I like that because then I seem to age faster. I mean really, you just can't win! Now, though, I can't say negative things because I'm trying to do positive affirmations. Here are some of my latest affirmations...if you don't know what an affirmation is, read "You can heal your life" by Louise Hay.
Lets see...some good ones are:
--Even though I don't like people in general, I choose to think positive thoughts about them.
--I choose to believe that sitting in a recliner watching tv will assist in my sojourn to lose weight.
--Expressing gratitude daily will assist me in recognizing my good fortune in being married to Doug (wolf hat and all)
--I am willing to accept that good things will come to me.
--I am open to the possibility of achieving spiritual nirvana.
--I am willing to let my desire for chocolate cake go. (Sorry, that's a lie!)
OK. Hope you didn't fall for those affirmations. I do have some, but they are so ridiculous that I wouldn't ever post the details. If I ever find that they work, I'll let you know.
Mostly, I hope all my loved ones know that I am hard at work in my accounting cave, making progress on bank reconciliations, journal entries and printing tax organizers. I just survived sitting through an all day tax seminar last Saturday and let me tell you...that's an achievement! In my mind I do not have a boring life, but from the outside looking in....you might disagree with me. It is my wit and humor that sustain me in these trying times...that and the promise of a vacation after tax season is over. I also dream of raising my rates...that cheers me up on a good day.
Well to my few and loyal blog followers, I sign off now and will post again when I have something interesting to say.

Seven...oops Eleven Things I'm NOT going to do in 2009
Several years ago I quit doing New Year resolutions...Let's face it, they don't work. This year I decided to post the things I'm not going to do and see if that works better for me. Here goes:
In 2009 I am not going to:
Worry about global warming or greenhouse gases. Perhaps all the greenies will stress about it and die young. (I live with hope)
Spend time trying to recover all the retirement funds I lost.
Forgive the theives who stole all my retirement money (at least this year--the GCW in me insists that eventually I must forgive...I don't have to like it)
Waste my time with people I don't like or am "done" with.
Stress over tax season.
Whine about being choir director at church.
Use it up, wear it out, make it do or do without.
Buy more stuff I don't need.
Take for granted my wonderful family.
Get up before 7 am .

Well, there you have it....if you can add something constructive to my list, let me know.
