GRRRRRR, LOSING A POST IS THE WORST!

I keep telling myself to stop writing my posts on my phone. I invariably lose a post by hitting the wrong command. Alas, I am a victim of my own impatience. I had a nice entry and when I attempted to highlight it in bold, a pop-up appeared and I hit translate, twice it happened. On the second... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Sunday And A Repeat Of Saturday!

I have spent the day watching football. There have been great games. Both games had final drives that could have won it for the home team. The Jaguars were intercepted, the Eagles had a 4th down and the pass was incomplete. Congrats to the winners. I'm stoked for my son-in-law, Chris, he roots for... Sign in to see full entry.

Lazy Saturdays Are The Best!

Yesterday I had great plans of getting things done around my house but I just worked on inventorying items in my house. It’s a tedious process but I have wanted to do it for years. I do a written inventory, video inventory and pictorial inventory. This year I’m going to do my Christmas decorations... Sign in to see full entry.

An Early Update On My Blog Today!

I decided to update my blog because I will be going to my daughter and son-in-law's house to watch the football game. It's the semifinal for the college championship. Tonight's game is Indiana and Oregon. I said back in the fall at their house that Imdiana will be the new champion. I even said, "You... Sign in to see full entry.

More Tax Preparation Completed. Getting closer By The Day!

Today I finished the sales tax report and submitted it to the state. After that I paid the taxes collected on product sales. The last two years we have been able to report and pay annually. Prior to that it was quarterly. I prefer the annual reporting. My next report is the 1099 NEC to the... Sign in to see full entry.

Numbers, Numbers, Numbers! It's Nice To Be Working With Letters!

As I was leaving the Bench this morning heading to the salon I noticed how awesome Shafer Butte looked with the sun glistening off the fresh fallen snow. I always think it's Squaw Butte but it is in a different area of the valley. Squaw Butte may sound like it's derogatory but it's a tribute to the... Sign in to see full entry.

When Equipment Breaks Down, Blame The Ants! Lol

I'm currently working on the 2025 receipts. Today I came across some incomplete receipts and asked what happened to since it showed on the app sales were recorded. That's when the answer was well beyond what I anticipated. Jessica usually has a bowl of dum dum suckers by the Clover POS machine at... Sign in to see full entry.

Back To The Grind! Lol.

Since it is the 5th already I got started on the taxes for the salon. One item I need to file annually requires an official transmittal form. Naturally the Government makes the business use a new form annually. You can't write the date in as we are able with 1099 NEC form. Alas, they call the shots... Sign in to see full entry.

What A Difference A Year Makes! Totally Incredulous!

This morning I had to go for groceries because I had been putting it off. There are times when I do a pickup at Walmart, but I prefer to pick out my produce. If it's canned, bagged, glass jar or frozen I'm okay with having their employees do it for me. I had made myself think in terms of going... Sign in to see full entry.

I Adore A Lazy Saturday Watching Hockey, Basketball & Football.

Unfortunately my Red Wings lost on a nationally televised game. They had great difficulty trying to enter their end of ice so a tip of the hat to the Pittsburgh Penguins. The Red Wings pulled their goalie with around 3 minutes left in the game to add a 6th skater but it proved useless and they gave... Sign in to see full entry.
