  • Currently…

    excited about Christmas!

    worried about Christmas with the parentals.

    craving Christmas cheer.

    loving Christmas lights on my house.

    hating the giant crack across the windshield of the Jeep.

    missing snow.

    wondering how crazy this Christmas will be.

    reading Twilight (shut up!).

    listening to Christmas songs.

    watching National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

The Insane Road Trip Job

Our trip was relatively uneventful. I’m starting to worry that we’re boring.
Anyway here are some things we learned.

Toyota Carollas are scary, scary vehicles to drive down two icy mountain passes.
I love lumbar support.
Staying awake for 26 hours somehow makes us require less food (1 candy cane, 2 cheetos and 3 energy drinks if your [...]

The Near Moose Job

Okay, I promised I would tell you about last weekend. It wasn’t that interesting, but we had a good time and I promised myself I was going to start writing again so here it is.
Friday night we had an impromptu dinner with one of Matt’s coworkers and then stayed up drinking wine with him [...]

The I Forgot to Blog Job

So Matt and I are leaving on a completely insane road trip to North Dakota in a couple of hours.  I was going to take the little bit of spare time I had between packing and errands to write about our weekend of tree murdering and near assasination by moose, but Matt got off work [...]

The Crazy People (Almost) Roadtrip Job

My Dad and I almost made a last minute road trip to North Dakota on Wednesday night. Matt has been ferociously scouring the internet to find his dream truck and he stumbled on a great deal. Dad called me in the middle of my tax final to get the go ahead to put [...]

The RED/WHITE/GREEN Job

I’ve been on a mission to find red/white/green Christmas lights for our house. After driving all around CDA last weekend I thought I’d finally found them at Lowe’s. I was so thrilled. Lo and behold when I opened them up today they cannot be strung together. I was so ticked. [...]

The Onion Job

Matt left early Monday morning. I’m back to cooking for one for a while.
My Tax Pro classes are going well. I’m surprised that I’m understanding and retaining things so well. I took my second quiz today and I was really scared that I wouldn’t know the answers, but I did just fine. [...]

The Cough Job

It’s my first week of training and I’m sick. Go figure.
This week has been insanely busy and all I want to do is eat soup and lay around. But I have to learn tax law. I’m extremely grateful that the classes are every other day. It’s giving me some time [...]
