Tax Clients

I met with three or four clients today. Meeting four clients and one interview (John at 10AM, Cynthia at 11AM, interview at 12PM, Joe at 2PM and Laura at 4PM.

Met my corporate client Corey today, Brian (married filing jointly), Robin (collected two years' worth of taxes). Not bad! Meeting Robin on Thursday to give her her completed taxes.

Wednesday I am meeting Adam, my longest client maybe at 4 years! Corporate taxes! Meeting David M to do his business taxes (collecting his stuff)

Friday morning meeting Linda G, Jessica P's referral in Astoria a block away at Dunkin Donuts at Steinway and Astoria Blvd. Have to send her a referral check after I do her taxes.

I might visit my parents on Sunday to have Paddy play with Ollie. Thursday going to see Macbeth with Emma. Friday seeing L'Elisir D'Amore with Josh. Saturday night having dinner with Augusto at Jebon Sushi for Opentable coupon $20 for $40 worth of food.

Xmas update

I will try to post weekly if not more updates on my blog. Still at my parents. Have been here since Christmas Eve!

I am making my old recipes from Jan 2010. I will try cooking more because it saves on money and I'm tired of the food in my neighborhood.

I'm going to make spicy cajun chicken fettuccine (from Pioneer Woman's website. www.thepioneerwoman.com) on Thursday. I have to eat the avocados before they go bad!

I've been making a chicken avocado salad with grilled chicken, sliced avocado, cherry tomatoes, red leaf lettuce and diced eggs! Very tasty! I need to buy jalapenos. I found them to be really good and they were at the Morgan Le Faye cafetaria salad bar.

My dad bought me a winter coat. It's Larry Levine cream colored (I still want the white DKNY or the white Calvin Klein coat) long down coat. I prolly won't wear it often as I don't want to get it dirty. I'll be spending a fortune on dry cleaning bills as my mom predicts. They also got me some thermal underwear and a rice cooker.

Still need to buy a blender, food processor, cheese grater, and rolling pin. What irks me is that I bought a cheese grater and rolling pin back in 2010.. Not sure where they are!

So headed back home tmrw around 4:30PM. I might take a spin class tmrw morning. It's an hour spin because in Long Island they spin for an hour (LOL).

I just love Robert Pennino's Terrier Tri cycling classes! I think that makes up for the $178 Equinox membership fee. He's my favorite spin instructor of all time. Gregg Cook of the Terracycle classes is a close second favorite spin instructor. He teaches three classes M to Thur and two classes on Fri. Gonna try his Whipped Classes next month to prep for BBC classes in March. Also will take Leandro Calvallo (sp?) Brazilian Butt/Tummy Tuck/Body Sculpt classes. And Kristi Molinaro's 30/60/90 classes.

Also will save money for a Polar FT60 heart-rate monitor watch! $130. I will get that in March to train for the Brooklyn Half-Marathon!

It looks like there might be showers on NYE, so will skip the outdoor 4 miler. My first race will be the Coogan's 5K. Will try to do it in 8:30 min miles!

I am beginning to like to run again. Need to train up to 6 miles (one full Central Park loop).

Wonder if I'll ever hear from Brandon R again. I do know what he's up to on any given day given his constant twitter updates. Not sure if that's a good or bad thing, LOL

I went to the Jets-Giants game on Christmas Eve with Augusto. That's the last time he goes to a winter game with me. He abandoned me after the third quarter. Not a true fan! Giants won! I was ecstatic! Giants are my number 1 team of all time. Followed closely by Real Madrid, Mets, Yankees, then Jets. I doubt they will win the Super Bowl with Mark Sanchez. I see Vick, Romo and Flacco winning Super Bowl Rings before Sanchez. there was a funny heckler who kept calling him Mark Sandwich. very funny guy!

Too bad I am not making enough money from my tax business to go to the Cowboys-Giants NFC East title game! One way is to get one ticket and use my dentist money and just not finish my post and crown. LOL Nah!

So Brandon told me on Tuesday night to come over at 5PM on Wednesday but I didn't see him online so I just met up with Augusto for some sushi dinner.

I had a lychee martini and am getting over being buzzed.

I knew Brandon would chicken out. I think I will eventually meet him for sex but it's never going to be easy.

My housekeeper came over and my apt is super-clean. Now just have to maintain that level of cleanliness.

Augusto says Chappaqua is full of rich wealthy people. Maybe Brandon's gym usage is being subsidized by his parents. I think he spends close to $300 on gym and spin classes. Isn't that crazy?

Life plans

So I moved back to my parents' house in Bayside this past Monday. I've been thinking about it and I don't think I'm going to move out until I move in with a guy to marry, if that ever happens. I lived on my own for five years and I had some fun, but living at home will allow me to save money to buy an apartment in central Manhattan and that's my next goal in life. I've already achieved my goal of getting a CPA for my career. So I'm growing my tax business and living in Bayside for the foreseeable future.

I think Guga died for a reason and his life with me would have prevented me from living with my parents but with him gone I can stay here as long as possible.

I was thinking of applying to grad school for an MBA but I don't think I am. I am done with school. I will make do with my master's in accounting and CPA licensure.

What's going on with me

So I'm going back to my parents in Bayside starting tomorrow evening for the Thanksgiving break. I have work on Friday so I am going to come in from Bayside. It will be good practice for when I move back home.

I didn't wake up this morning to run, I'll do that after my therapist meeting tonight. I also have to run tomorrow morning to keep up with my running schedule. I ran 9 miles last week and am scheduled to run 14 miles this week.

This day is dragging by slowly...

I have decided to eliminate all my debt by the age of 33.

Yes, that's a lofty goal, but I think I can do it. I just have my student loans to worry about. Then I'll start repaying my parents back for the loan they gave me to get rid of my credit card debt.

Hopefully that gives them about 5 years of me paying them back because they will live for at least that long, if not longer.

I just have to move back home from June 2009 to May 2010. That may be a problem finding a home for Guga. I will find several homes for him until I can get him back. I am determined in keeping Guga. I just won't be able to live with him until May 2010.

Back to my parents. It was faster to come here than my apt since I was near Penn Station.

Day before...

So tomorrow is my first day back to work. I'm feeling very trepidatious. Paddy and Guga are snoring away on the couch. I have to post the pics of the two dogs that were taken over the summer by a Japanese female photographer I met at an event that I bartended at.

Tonight I went to dinner at Applebee's with my parents who were trying to iron out my nerves.

At work, I hope I'm able to carry on about my nasty bout with pneumonia.

I've been bidding like a fiend on a bunch of eBay auctions. I found the nicest pair of shoes and a lovely shirt. I've gotta get back to work. I hope it goes well. I'll try to fill a blog entry out each night, a therapeutic blogging.

I wonder who commented on April 29. Whoever you are, the one person who reads this blog, state who you are!
