the latest in wool

for maureen

I feel pretty scattered these days: work, home life and the crunch of getting my schedule C up to speed so I can meet with the tax guy. I gotta say, one of the bennies of being self employed is going to the tax guy is a legitimate business expense. So even though you have be on top of all your paperwork, he takes the pile and turns it into a lovely grey foldered, tax return for a very reasonable price. I see him once a year and admire the picture of his kids (who of course are now one year older) and we chitchat for a few minutes, go over his checklist and I leave feeling about 50 pounds lighter. In a few weeks I get a phone call from the secretary and exchange a check for that nice,neat grey file...he even electronically files for us. I love my tax guy.

Oh yes, I did finish this blue blankie...already in the mail for its new owner.
