Eat, Sleep, Dream TAXES!

I can't believe that we have less than two weeks left in Tulsa. Our last day of work is next Thursday and we leave to drive back to Denver on Friday. I have had fun here and really like the people we work with but I am getting tired of doing taxes and am ready to move on to something else. I am thoroughly looking forward to sleeping in a REAL bed and having my own room for next round.

Nothing much happened at the end of last week but I did have some fun this past weekend. Friday night Amanda, Pat, Alex and I went on our team dates and went ice skating. It was a blast. I haven't been skating in almost three years so I thought I would be pretty rusty. It turned out that once I got used to being on the ice I wasn't as bad as I thought I would be. I ended up having a lot of fun. We skated for about two hours before we had to go pick up the rest of the team. While we were skating Amanda and I meet James from Kenya. He was there with some of his family and it was there first time being on ice.

Saturday was my day to sleep in and not have to do anything until 1:30pm when Pat, Alex, Amanda, Shannon, Kristy and I did ISP at the Ronald McDonald House. We cleaned out three fridges which took us about 2 hours. After that we went to the mall so Shannon and Alex could have their team date. Kristy and Pat used the wireless in the mall while Amanda and I walked around. Amanda was looking for a pair of skinny jeans but non of the stores we went into carry skinny jeans in "tall". I bought a new pair of jeans and a couple new shirts (yeah for getting paid on Thursday). As we were getting ready to leave Amanda mentioned that she had wanted to get the second hole in her right ear re-pierced but had forgotten to do it earlier. I had been talking about getting a second hole done for awhile but had not had the opportunity to do it yet. So Amanda was like we should get it done together, which is what we did. It was strange to see myself in the mirror with two earrings in at first but I have gotten used to it.

Before we had gone to the mall we stopped at Best Buy to get my wireless card replaced in my computer. The guy at Best Buy put in the new card and told me that the computer registered that the card was in there. He said that windows should be able to pick up a wireless signal now with the new card. This was not the case. Saturday night after a group of us went out to dinner we went to a coffee shop to get Internet but I was unable to get on. My computer was not picking up any wireless signal at all. I am going to Best Buy to night and hopefully they can fix it for real. Shannon and I are also going to DSW on our team date.

Sunday was nothing exciting just food shopping and doing laundry what I do every Sunday. Today I am at a different tax site because they needed more prepares here. Amanda and I got here around 10:15 and I have only done about five returns. It is a bilingual site so I have done a couple returns with people who's first language is Spanish. It was interesting and a little harder than other returns but not too bad. I feel like today is going by faster than yesterday because I am doing something a little different than normal.
