Today was definately not my day.  Considering the mood I've been in the last few weeks, I could have done without being on hold with customer support at  Quickbooks Online for 1 full hour this morning just to find out that the only people that could fix my issue, which they caused , was the Advanced Support Dept. and they only work 4 hours a day and I was told to call back this afternoon and since it involved filing my 940 form which is due by the end of this week I had no choice but to call back. At 2:35 I started holding for customer support, they picked up at 3:10 just long enough to put me on hold to wait for Advanced Customer Support to pick up, which they did at 5:15! Yep, great service there at Quickbooks Payroll. I did take the time out of my busy schedule of waiting to send them  and email reassuring them that I was using my 'hold' time constructively by spending some time researching which program  I will be using when I cancel their ...

Ever feel like life in general is just spinning out of control? I have been feeling like this for a couple of weeks now. I don't know if it all of the 'Year-end closing' I'm doing at work or  if it has to do with beginning the new year thinking about all of the things  I wanted to accomplish last year and didn't. We are also checking into a refinance, remodel, add-on thing with the house and that continues to get more and more complicated with the proposal, appraisal, building plans and proposed "as built" appraisal, etc., etc., etc. I get this feeling now and then (thankfully, not too often). I'm not a control freak by any means, I just like to know that I have a say in what direction my life is taking, and organizing something, ANYTHING, seems to help when I feel this way. I guess it's kind of a way of being in control of SOMETHING. So this weekend I spent my time organizing (and cleaning). VIGOROUSLY! I am actually quite sore but I feel a l...

Rough week. Definitely ready for the weekend.

Aside from crocheting a summer hat, because I am in  total denial of how much winter there really is left to come, I've been feeling very 'uncreative' lately. So this past weekend I decided I would just take the opportunity to clean up my 'area'. As I was putting away some of the items I had brought upstairs when I was in one of those "I could probably do something with this" moods, I had an idea. Don't you just love hoops? I love hoops☺ betcha can't guess where I got these perfectly lovely, perfectly round hoops. These even have a little texture. They are super duper lightweight and I just love them. Where did I get them you ask? TAA  DAA!!!!! Yep,  I bought several of these for stocking stuffers at  Target in the $1 bins and I had 1 leftover. I cut a section leaving about an inch overlap, curled the ends in opposite directions and then snuggled them together. I really like the way they turned out. They spin nicely and you can get l...

A little bit of  random..... My babies spend a lot of their time patrolling the floor for ANYTHING edible, ( then there is Lily who usually goes right for either paper towels, toilet paper or kleenex,  it doesn't matter which, just whatever is accessible ) but I digress... My baby Scoobie Doo  Anywhoooo.. when they are patrolling they make this sound.  It's not a simple sniffing sound,  it's more of a snort.  It's almost as if they have discovered something edible on an anatomical level  and if they sniff  hard enough they can separate it from the floor. The word I immediately think of is "Snarf" and yes it has a capital "S" in my brain. And you may be asking yourself "Why do you think of the word "Snarf" with a capital S?" Well, 'cause it's actually a brain-tumbling-over-it's-self domino effect.   The actual first thing that comes to my mind is Dr. Seuss, 'cause the sound that comes out of the kids while...
