Holy Shit!

Well the day is zipping by!  I was super productive today doing all of the things that are a pain in the ass while at work. 

I started the day doing our income taxes.  I was very organized.  I had my receipts, the girls' SINs, and the T4s.  Unfortunately, I didn't have the statement of our RRSP contribution limit for 2009.  Well I had it, but it was in the filing cabinet.  Now I hope you are better and keeping records than me, but our filing cabinet is sort of like a black hole for papers.  Statements, pay stubs, appliance receipts all sit on our little letter holder upstairs until we decide to have a party and then I 'clean' it up and move all of the papers (minus the expired coupons) down to the filing cabinet.  Do I file the papers?  NO!!

So here I was sorting through papers...I was finding bank statements from 2004 (unopened).  By the grace of God, I found the papers I was looking for and finished the taxes.  Refund!!

As a result of going through the cabinet, I shredded 2 large garbage bags of paper.  I broke a hard fast rule of our house and I tossed the paper in the garbage.  As I did I almost broke my neck on the ice that formed at the front step.  So I cleared that off. 

Now it was time to tackle the back yard.  Our new dog, Hugo, has made a nice mess of the back yard.  He chews on most everything.  I have found 2 of my solar lamps shredded at the back door.  He started to play with a basketball (which was super cute).  In about 2 minutes I noticed that he had punctured it.  It is starting to thaw here in Regina.  This big dog has big poops.  These poops are now being revealed as the snow disappears.  I removed the first layer of shit from the yard.  I think it was about 25 lbs...no word of a lie.

So I guess I need to keep on top of this going forward or we'll be knee high in shit come spring.

Hope your day isn't shitty (aka...awesome)!
