At the end of the tax season tunnel. While Friday is business return deadline and everyone is stressed, we have just over a month until freedom. And for me, that freedom means actual weekends and Disney World. Things have gotten to a slightly more manageable than they were. I'm settling into this senior role with…
I’m Still Here!
We are a week and a half away from the first deadline of tax season. By January first, all W-2s, 1099s, 1098s, etc must be prepped, mailed out, and filed. As such, I have been super busy. I have averaged about 53 hours a week the past three weeks, and I am in a constant…
Happy New Year!
I hope everyone had a safe celebration last night. We have officially said goodbye to 2018! Today is the first blank page of 2019, and the book can be anything you want it to be. I've been spending the past few weeks thinking about what I want to accomplish the coming year, and I want…
2018: A Reflection
Gosh, what a year. I passed the CPA exam, swam with sea turtles, started with a personal trainer, and did a bunch of stuff in between. As for my 2018 goals, let's review together: Pass the CPA exam- check! Lose 10 pounds and be healthier- I could have done better here. I got really close…
Let’s Do an Update
So, I'm a little tired and blah while writing this because I had a dream that I was at Disneyland and then I woke up and had to go to work instead. BUT I did log in to my work email to a company wide back and forth about Elsa as one of the girls…
Challenge Report
Well, we changed the challenge end date to this past weekend from the 15th as we both forgot to weigh in that day, but both of us completed the challenge! My husband and I have each lost ten pounds in the past couple of months. Yay us! My swimsuit reward has been ordered, and I…
I’m Taking A Step Towards Health, and My Wallet Hates It
As you know, I signed up for the gym at the very beginning of the month. Well, I have signed up for personal training sessions as well. I feel like I need the push a trainer will give me, plus some other added benefits. I have scoliosis. My back is as curvy as a snake,…
Challenge Update
A few months ago I posted about a health challenge between myself and my husband. As we are two weeks from that challenge deadline, I thought I would give an update. Reminder: the challenge is for each of us to lose ten pounds by September 15. If he wins, he gets a crap ton of…
A New Challenge
I have known my husband for seven years. When we met, I was fresh from high school and softball and he was in ROTC. I only say that for reference- we were both doing athletic things and therefore we looked a lot different than we do now. Life happened. We both have desk jobs and…
No Gym? Be Creative!
Gyms are expensive. Well, they are when you're in your mid-twenties and on a budget so you can buy a house one day. Sure, a lot of apartment and work complexes have "free" gyms, but my experience says those gyms have three machines and are kind of sketchy. There are ways to get around this…
