RAIN!

It is POURING outside. As in, severe flooding all over Spring patch.

I start free lancing tonight- anyone with knowledge about self-employment, taxes, etc... please call me:) Then our friends Evan and Holly are coming over tonight at 7 to make sushi. Evan leaves on Monday for basic training for the Army, so this will be our last time hanging out with them for awhile. I'm excited to make sushi- we haven't done so in over a month! Mmmmm.

I can't believe it's only Tuesday. It feels like Friday. Last night I did 3 miles with Addie- we walked a lot of it because we were both sore from Sunday. I picked up a Pilates dvd at the library to do for my core excercises. This weekend I think I'm spending Easter with Addie and her husband, Matt, after church since Blake has to work. We're going to eat and play games- then we have our long run- 7 miles this weekend. Whoo Hoo!

Today I love- making sushi with friends and this quote: "I run to silence the voice in my head that says I can't."

Lori, from what I remember about free lance artwork...in Iowa, there was something about needing a tax number so you could/should charge sales tax on everything,not just the materials you use. You should check with your tax person to be sure what the laws are here, but remember too that if you keep track of mileage, gas for all related trips, it's deductible. It's not usually worth a tally of home space used/utilities/phone percentage becuz if you own your home, you have to back that out of any profit when you sell. But, real expenses you should keep track. 's all i know! Doris
