I'm all stressed out over taxes. Being self employed sucks big time. Adding up tons of receipts and prayin you didn't make a mistake is torture. Add to that the fact that we want to buy a house this year and I'm leaving out some of the deductions we deserve for qualifying sake. But if we end up paying the tax man all our savings we won't be able to qualify anyway. If we take all our deductions we may end up with some money back... but may not qualify. all this stress sucks! When we got home from our appointment with the tax preparer, Damien put it all into perspective for me. We're just rats. Hairless ones to be exact. isn't that the truth. Some things don't really matter. Scribbling on the sidewalk in chalk and pretending to be a hairless rat is what really matters in the end. It isn't where we play but how we play that makes us happy. I'll worry about the taxes once they are done.
for now I'll just enjoy the moment

I'm going to start a new work out program on saturday! I'm excited (obviously), because this is a 63 day program. When we did P90X it was easy to keep at it because I knew I was only putting myself through hell for a limited time. This time it'll be worse than hell... but only for 63 days. i can survive that. What I'll do afterward is the question. Once we completed P90X it was impossible to do it over again and be faithful to it. Part of the problem is I can't fool myself saying it's only x many days left. Part of it is that during the winter months it gets dark earlier so that phsycologically I just feel tired when I see it's so dark out. I hope that now that the daylight is lasting longer I'll have more energy.
This time when we finnish it'll be just in time for Alex's birthday. That's motivation enough. I really want to take him to the opera, and I'd love to be in a new smaller little black dress when I do.

Do u ever get tired of the bullshit online? I do. I'm tired of being bombarded by the minutia of everyone's daily lives. I'm sure I'm just as guilty. I read the question, "What's on ur mind?" and I'm compelled to write something, anything. Why is that? Why do we feel the need to connect with others in this forum? We may pass dozens of people on the street, in the mall, at the store and never say hello. We rush home to our computers and reah out to perfect strangers. Somtimes our sense of self worth is tangled up in it. Did they accept? Did they comment on my witty remark? Did anyone miss me so much that they wrote me a message or commented on my page?
What the hell is happening to us? We shun the people we see every day. We find it difficult to reach out to real people we can sit and talk to. We are losing our ability to connect with real people. Prefering tht safety and annonymity of the internet. If this is what happend to us in the past 15 years what does that say for the next?
