not so taxing after all
By heather | January 18, 2008
(God dang it. I hit publish and lost the entire entry I just wrote. I am stomping my foot and pouting. This one won’t be as good! The lost one was a great work of ART!)
I am happy to report that after crying that I would never be able to retire because I wouldn’t be able to find my retirement money, I’ve found a solution to my poor money management skillz.
After much tenacious research and sheer luck, I stumbled on this thing called a rollover account, for the express purpose of rolling over money! I know! And I don’t have to handle any paper checks! They do it FOR ME!
Also, did you know you can pay someone to manage your money for you? Yes? How come no one told me?
So now having started the ball (and the money) rolling into my new account with my new financial advisor managing it for me in times of market volatility (hee hee - see how smart I sound now?) I can sit back and just wait to be 60.
There’s your public service announcement for the day. Now some random thoughts:
- How does Rachel Ray have her own television show? And magazine? Personally, I despise her and I cannot find one single person that likes her. I’ve recently started boycotting Wheat Thins because she is on the box. Are you out there RR fans? Tell me what is redeeming about her. She is right up there with Fergie on my list of celebs that just should not be.
- I couldn’t stop staring at this picture of Amy Winehouse. You feel beautiful now, yes?
- I’m sorry again, carpal tunnel syndrome sufferers. How many times do I have to apologize for thinking you were whining? Because now my wrists are visibly swollen and it is difficult to do the snaps on onesies and brush teeth and open jars. I repent!
- I finally got my maternity clothes sorted and have started wearing them all the time, because they make me feel thin(ner). I know this won’t last so I need to enjoy it while I still can. Also, they seem to hide the developing belly better, maybe because they are all flow-y?
- This morning, at 3am, I found myself extremely irritated with Alex who woke up screaming for no reason and refused to go back to sleep. After an hour, I finally got him back in his crib, and was equally disturbed when he started screaming again at 6am. Turns out, as reported by Brett after getting him dressed, that the poor kid had about 4 loads in his diaper. First, bad mommy! Bad! Second, what has happened to my bloodhound sense of smell? Could this be the flipping of the first to second trimester switch? If I haven’t had any breakdowns, or kicked in any doors, or exploded from the water retention by Monday I would say it may be the beginning of the best part of pregnancy.
