whee!

i'm riding on that lovely burst of energy that comes right after you get over being sick... where your mind and body go "i can move again!!! everything, even housework, is such a joy!!!!" jack and i are going to his mom's for a belated xmas dinner... in the meantime, i'm cleaning and cooking for the week like a fiend. i'm almost ready to pop a carmelized-onion-mushroom lasagna in the oven, there's a whole mess of beef & pasta in the crockpot, i've done all my tax preparation for the hoop business, and have a load of laundry going. woo hoo!

doing my tax stuff for the hoop business was an eye-opener. we had a loss again this year, but not by much -- a couple hundred dollars. considering the amount of money i spent on advertising around the holidays, and all the tape and tubing i've bought that i haven't used yet, that's actually darn good. and another thing i discovered -- about half of my sales for the year were in the 4 weeks between thanksgiving and xmas. whoa.

back to work tomorrow... i don't know how i'm going to deal. if only i could have one more week, so i can whoop it up a bit...
