Taxes + Procrastination = Headache

I have to work on my taxes this week. Man, it is something I always dread. I promised myself last year that I'd keep up with the bookkeeping so it would be easier this year. Humph!

I use QuickBooks (my business accounting software) and would recommend it to anyone. However, it is just a computer program and subject to human interaction. This seems to be a problem for me...being the human.

So, this week (and next, and likely the following), I'll be entering all of those invoices that I've neatly piled next to my computer. I'll be balancing my accounts and sighing out loud with my head occasionally hitting my desk top.

It's nobody's fault but my own, so I'll stop whining now.

Happy 7th Birthday, E!

Wow, my youngest is 7 today! Yep, I can't believe it. This week has been exciting for him as he lost his two front teeth and is looking forward to a weekend birthday extravaganza.

I had planned to take the day off to go putt putting with him. His grandfather took him to the store for his birthday so he was completely preoccupied with his new toys. So, I did some bookkeeping (note: don't let your bookkeeping pile up...it's not pretty and only causes more stress).

I just finished a good book last night that I'd recommend if you are wanting to own your own business. The Boss of You, by Emira Mears and Lauren Bacon. Visit their website, http://www.laurenandemira.com/, for more details. If I haven't mentioned it before, I love QuickBooks.

Have a fab weekend!
