Class is over!

Today was the last day of class... well, sort of. We have one more training day on January 2nd when we have what they call the dress rehearsal. That is the day we find out how they do things in the respective offices that we work in. My office is over on 1st St. and the only person there that I will know is my boss Peggy. That's going to be a weird day for me to be sure, but I'm feeling pretty good about knowing how to do my new job so we will see how things go.

The weather forecast is calling for snow starting tonight and continuing through Tuesday. We have church tomorrow afternoon but after that we are planning on getting a few movies and watching them for something to do. I am terrible at remembering the names of movies I see but I have a list that I take with us of the ones we've seen trailers on that looked interesting. Last week we saw The Cube, Shattered Glass and Rounders. All of them were pretty good and we even got another one that was a good one called The Canyon. (I had to go consult Karen to remember the name of that movie.) So, big sigh of relief that tax class is over and now on to the next tier.

Warmed up some!

Things warmed up a little around here. There is still 3-4" of snow on the ground and I assume that will be here till spring, but at least we got out of the single digits for a while. Tonight we have class, this being the last Tuesday class. I'll really be glad when this is over, I'm a little burned out with all the stuff I've had to cram into my head the last couple of months. From now until after the first of the year I have to try and remember all that stuff so I'll be able to do taxes. Karen assures me that it will come back when I need it and I certainly hope so.

Christmas is coming up and Krista and family are coming for a couple of days. It will be nice to see them but I guess I wish I was getting to see my kids too. I used to go to Tracey's on holidays but now it's a little too far for me to do that without going on a major trip. One of the down sides of living so far away I guess. Well, we are into the winter doldrums here even though winter is still a few days away officially but you know, ya gotta love it anyway!
