As usual, because I can't get my act together, my accountant has filed an extension for me. I know, I know, I'm lame....especially because they owe me money and I'm not getting any interest on it. I am definitely going to make an effort to get my taxes in this month. (Famous last words...for the past two years I've barely made it by the October deadline.) It's not that I don't need the money. In fact, I need it badly. Why is there this block?
I went back to my Tucson house last weekend and it was great. I spent a lot of time weeding my front yard. In Arizona it's funny because my mission was to get rid of that pesky green vegetation so it could all be nice and brown and sandy. Sort of backward to what most people think of. As an aside, the weeds in Arizona are pretty monstrous. Besides having mile long roots, they almost universally have spikes/stickers which easily went through my leather gardening gloves. I'm definitely an old lady though because my back and hamstrings were killing me yesterday and still hurt today. I've had to divide my yard into quadrants (for my sanity) because contemplating doing the whole thing is enough to make me take a nap and forget it all. I got the front area clean though so it doesn't look like my house is abandoned.
I skipped Mack Saturday morning because I needed to get to town to see my niece before my brother and sister-in-law left for an ultimate frisbee tournament in Flagstaff. I got to hold the little "peanut" and feed her before they left. I know I've said this before but she really is THE MOST BEAUTIFUL CHILD IN THE WORLD! My sister-in-law, Esther, is gorgeous but I have no idea how my brother's involvement didn't mess that kid up. Just lucky, I guess. So, I had the weekend to myself and, being the party animal that I am, I weeded and watched back episodes of "The Wire" from my TiVo. By the way, if you weren't watching "The Wire," you missed out on a great show. I recommend renting the DVDs from Netflix or something to check that show out. It was a great show.
Also, I don't know what the deal was with the I10 this weekend but it went really slow. People were driving 75 mph (the speed limit) both ways. Is there something going on that I don't know about?
