SO FAR SO GOOD

May 8, 2008

The paralegal hiring process is complete and we officially have a "staff". She had to do some online training, but I think it's going to work out well. Only problem is we are still not getting out of work any earlier!! It has taken more time to get the company set up as an PLLC and learn how to use Quickbooks than I have invested in any case I've dealt with. (don't tell my clients..okay?) I have 5 HUGE books on my desk on small business taxes, investing, quickbooks, and employee tax obligations. The sick thing is I AM IN HEAVEN. What a NERD. It feels so awesome to have everything organized.

Anyway...we will be taking a short vacation Friday through Monday. We are haulin' butt out to Big Bend to do some hiking. If Chris comes back without me I either gave out on the first 50 feet of the hike or he pushed me off the side of the cliff for one of my remarks. Either way I am finally getting a rest!

I feel like I've been out of the loop. How is everyone else doing?? Has Sabrina had the baby?? Do we have any service opportunities?? Sounds like the begining of a soap opera!

FINALLY!

So we finally hired a paralegal! I am so excited! She seems to be perfect so I am sure she'll end up being an axe-murderer, but as long as I get to be home by 6:30 pm I don't really care at this point! Happy day, happy day!

FIRST BLOG

April 21, 2008

Okay- this is my first attempt at blogging and I am just going to say I apologize in advance if I offend anyone. I cuss like a sailor so it is bound to come out in the blog. I'd like to say I have Tourettes, but really I just have a severe case of potty mouth. The views expressed on this site do not necessarily reflect those of my husband, family or friends. HOWEVER, if you read something that you agree with or find witty in anyway, I'm sure my husband, family, and friends would love to take credit.

RELAY FOR LIFE

Relay seemed to go well this weekend. I was pleased with the turn out and happy with the flow of the event. It started to drag around 1 am but what are you gonna do? It was cold and everyone was tired. So I should feel good about it...but I really don't. I am never satisfied with any civic event that I am involved with. I always feel like it could have been done better, or I could have done more. I can't figure out why I can't let it go and be happy like other volunteers. I am starting to think that I am screwed because I have a strong drive for perfection, but don't have the stamina to keep up with it. I want to do the job the best that it can possibly be done, but then find something "more important" to deal with until I am bitching because I have like one day to fill a 12 hour event. When I first moved to Hutto, my husband and I got involved as much as possible. I was an aspiring hermit before I met Chris so all of the community involvement was new to me. I got really jazzed about it and went all out, but now I am just burnt out. Does anyone else feel this way?? Is all community involvement done out of a sense of obligation or does someone truly enjoy it? Anyhow...I will probably feel totally different after tomorrow when my sleep cycle returns to normal.

Thanks to all of those that came out and helped!! I really appreciated the support.

Is it normal to want to delete your first blog??
