accounting = happiness? who knew!?

Ok, so I think someone slipped somethin in my Cafe International coffee this morning, because I'm actually enjoying accounting! AK!!

Here I'm all sad and depressed and crying like a big fat baby, cuz my knee hurts and my insurance sucks and blah, blah, blah... but I truck on... and I sit back down to work, determined to not let it slow me down. (Even though I'm secretly planning to not leave the house for weeks and already boycotting participating in any public activities, but don't tell anyone... I'm being an ostrich!! You can't see me!!)

So, today is the day I'm working on the accounting side of my business. But, in trying to implement my new found knowledge of Quickbooks, I realized I can't use the version I have here after all. (long story, doesn't matter) So - I went & researched a bit and bought/downloaded Quicken 2004 Premier Home & Business and have been organizing all my personal and business finances. And I'm loving it!!

Now I can track and graph/run reports on all my expenses. Wanna know how much I spent on concert tickets in the last year? $474! And that's not counting the countless shows I've paid cash for. Cool, huh?

Anyway - it's the little things. So just thought I'd let you all know I've actually found myself excited about something today. Who knew it'd be accounting!? ha!

p.s. If any of you use the same program, will you please email me? I have a few questions :)
