Do not leave keys in truck with dogs

I made blog titles over the last 4 months so that I would remember little things that happened or that we did but never actually blogged about anything. I am going to try to catch up in order so it may take a while before I actually get up-to-date.

Back in January, or maybe even the end of December, we were getting ready to go to Colt's parents. Colt got the two dogs in the truck (along with his keys) and came back in to get me. In the short time that the dogs were in the car, Lucky managed to lock us out of the truck. When we bought Colt's truck, it only had one set of keys, so we didn't have another way in. Colt tried for quite a while to open the door with a coat hanger but it didn't work and if you can imagine, he wasn't very happy. Then we both tried to coax Lucky and even Alex to step back on the door and unlock it. They were both so confused and even though Lucky came very very close to getting it once, he just relocked it and all attempts were unsuccessful. It would have probably been pretty funny for someone else to watch though. Colt's parents ended up coming over here and luckily his mom called the locksmith that unlocked it in 5 seconds. If she hadn't have went ahead and called, Colt would've probably tried to do it himself forever...

Lesson was learned though to not leave your only set of keys in the vehicle with your dogs! Since then we have actually traded in the truck so I don't think it will ever happen again. At least if it does, it will be another vehicle and we will have a spare set of keys! I will post about the new car later.

Tax Day

Today was finally the end of tax season which means the end of overtime and tomorrow is a holiday for me!! We started overtime early this year so it definitely seemed like a long tax season.

It's crazy how before I started work tax day was just another day, but to me and all the other tax accountants out there it is a holiday. My work lets us have after tax day off so it makes it even better.

We wrapped up everything pretty early today and I got off around 3. I skipped out on happy hour with co-workers and ended up coming home instead. I dropped Colt off and headed to get a mani and pedi. Then afterwards I stopped by Sonic because they were doing happy hour all day in honor of tax day.

I haven't blogged since New Year's (4 1/2 months... yikes this year is flying by) so I plan on trying to catch up a little sometime soon now that work will slow down a bit.
I also plan on starting to work out regularly because I am way out of shape. I used to be so good but I definitely have been slacking. Maybe putting it on here will make me more accountable. I just have to make myself find time to put it back in my schedule again.

HAPPY TAX DAY!
