Nope. There's more.











Somehow the date just crept up on us, as if pretending it wasn't there would make it go away....like that river in Egypt....

Add prepare 2008 receipts for our tax appointment tomorrow to my list. The list that just keeps giving.

I know, I know, it's way late already, but last year was such a blur we gave ourselves the gift of an extension.

I guess we've extended long enough, so here we sit amidst manilla file folders and piles of last year's loose receipts, crunching the we're-freelance-take-everything-you-possibly-can-for-a-business-expense numbers that bare their past in front of us.

On the plus side, it's pretty cool to see the bump in my guidebook sales and the continued expansion in speaking events from 2007 when this whole thing started for me. And 2009 is already poised to be more, more, more. Who knew that there was going to be a whole business emerging from this swamp? And who knew it would continue to grow?

On the other plus side, this number-catcher thing will all be delivered and out the door by tomorrow. happy times.

Then I can get to telling you about cracking the code...

It's cool that you're seeing the good in that chaos.

When I splurged on an accountant years ago, he became the best friend and timesaver I have. Worth every penny. He even organizes all my paperwork - I just send it to him as it comes in throughout the year and he files it for me...

Here's hoping your wrinkles smooth out soon.
