Need a vacay

No bites on the property, we are never getting out of here

Missing family and friends

Moving made us realize who our real friends are

If we are here in the spring, can’t wait for another tomato garden, it was rad last year

Hired my first employee and it’s going well, lots of good things to come

Damn littering

January 16th, 2010

Am I crazy for wanting to go pick up trash on the side of the road?  There is this area by our house, people throw trash out the window all the time.  The people coming to see our property for sale have to drive by this friggin mess, no one else is picking it up and it’s driving me batty, so should I just go do it?  I could get some exercise in the process and some sun, haven’t had that for a while.  hhmm

Long week…

January 16th, 2010

Busy week, thought it would never end.  I put in more billable hours this week than ever before, loves it.  We are out of mass groceries, time to shower and go to the store.  Have a nice weekend.

Happy New Year

December 31st, 2009

Happy New Year!  We had a good evening.  I started prepping for sushi night about 3pm.  We ended up eating about 5 I think.  All turned out great, made different kinds of rolls using scallops, lump crab and shrimp.  Scrumptious as always!  I had way too much Sake and thought it did me in early in the night, but it didn’t, I overcame it and started baking brownies, they should be done soon.   Thought I was down for the count!  Happy I wasn’t.

Wishing a happy new year to you and yours.

Red

December 31st, 2009

Our dog Red is hilarious.  When Dave has been gone and me working at home.  He calls me about 15 minutes before getting here and I call 0ut to the dogs telling them that Daddy is around the corner and after a few times of doing it, Red heads out to the front of the property looking for Daddy.  Well we had just gotten done with dinner and were horsing around with the animals and I started yelling, where’s daddy, where’s daddy and Red started going crazy barking at the front door wanting out.  When Daddy was right in the room, he is silly.

Only 3 days left until billing day!

December 29th, 2009

I love the end of the month, it means I can bill all my clients and get all my money!  One drawback is getting paid every 30 days, but I do have a couple nice ones that don’t mind every 2 weeks, so that makes it nice.  Things are going very well with my bookkeeping business, I couldn’t be happier.  I did better in my first year of business than I ever did working for anyone else.  I am thankful every day and love my life.  I have been trying to talk my sister into doing the same thing as me, looks like I may start training her the first of the year.

Super swamped this week, trying to get as much done as possible before taking a 3-day weekend.

Dave got his first sale on his wood projects on Ebay, very exciting.  His site is up up and going at furstwoodworks.com, but I think I announced that already in an earlier post. =P   He has no work otherwise =(

I paid off two loans today, woohoo

Missing home.

Gonna be another year older soon, I am still deciding whether I want to make sushi myself or go out.  Either way will be good.  If anyone wants to join us, come on down.

R.I.P. P.I.T.A.

Anyone read this that has web design/programming experience?  I need to hire someone immediately to help with a couple projects.  Contact me with your rate and experience please.

wondergirl out, time for bed.

What pisses me off about Facebook…..

December 27th, 2009

Or should I say friends?  I guess it’s not Facebook’s fault.

Why is it that people don’t respond to emails or posts, but are online playing those stupid application games.  Why they even waste their time, I have no idea, are there not better things to be doing?

I have been totally excited to catch up with old friends and most of them have left me hanging.  Kinda feels like I am back in high school again.

Yummy dinner

December 25th, 2009

We had a great dinner.  I made a 13 pound Turkey.  Smothered a stick of butter all over it before baking in the oven for a few hours.  Served it with Yukon Gold mashed potatoes and turkey gravy made from homemade stock.  Dave hates yams and sweet potatoes which happen to be my favorite, so I came up with a recipe to give me my craving and he likes it too.  Glazed Carrots.  Recipe down below.  Also served up yeast rolls and homemade stuffing.  No complaints from this meal today! Thankful for the food and the good company.

Jenny’s Glazed Carrots Recipe

Ingredients:

  • Bag of Carrots
  • Butter – 4 Tablespoons
  • Olive Oil – 1 Tablespoon
  • Maple Syrup – 2 Tablespoons
  • Brown Sugar – 2 Tablespoons
  • Fresh Parsley, Curly or Italian
  • Salt & Pepper

Peel and cut carrots.  Sauté in a pan on medium high heat with the butter and olive oil.  The olive oil will help the butter not burn.  Put a lid on and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring every minute or so to make sure all is cooking evenly.  Add the maple syrup and brown sugar, salt and pepper and cook for another couple minutes or until the carrots are at a desired tenderness.  Stir in the parsley just before serving.
