		<description><![CDATA[I still remember my dad doing tax returns out of our living room when I was a kid. He had a full-time job during the day, but would do returns in the evenings between January and April 15th.
As the years passed, the living room office turned into a separate building, and the full-time job for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This week has been one for the record books for me. Simply due to how &#8220;different&#8221; it really was from beginning to end.
Many probably don&#8217;t know that I work at a hot dog stand in a bar in downtown Nashville for extra money. It&#8217;s a fun job and I get to listen to amazing live [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When I was in high school and college, I used to joke that I was &#8220;a tax season orphan.&#8221; Today, my husband could rightfully call himself &#8220;a tax season widower.&#8221;
My parents have owned their own bookkeeping and tax preparation business for over 20 years. It&#8217;s perhaps pretty obvious and natural that I&#8217;d work for them [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I last wrote in this blog right after the inauguration, when the country&#8217;s optimism was high and hope was the feeling in the air. I still stand by my belief that optimism and hope are something we needed and still need. However, with unemployment rates at 1983 levels and home foreclosures happening just down the [...]]]></description>

It is indeed tour season, and many of &#8220;our men&#8221; are out on the road livin&#8217; the dream. They talk about the time apart and how hard it is. I end up just nodding along&#8230; been there, done that. I will [...]]]></description>

I&#8217;ve stayed busy doing my thing. My husband was busy doing his thing. Now&#8230; we&#8217;re busy doing each of our things together.

October brought us moving into our first house. November brought both of our birthdays. December brought the holidays. And January&#8230; well January meant half the month off the road for my husband, and our having to buckle down and try to cut costs anywhere [...]]]></description>
