Merry X-Mas?

Nothing says MERRY CHRISTMAS like a(nother) broken phone on X-mas day at 9pm.

My previous entry about my broken phone back in March 15 and Sept 15 apparently was not the end of my bad luck w/ motorola flip phones. Just when i was trying to coordinate meeting up w/ my high school friends, my mom pushed my phone to the cement thingy by the fireplace and my phone died.

this is what my phone looks like now:














as always, unfortunately, i do not have you guys's phone numbers memorized or saved or written down somewhere. i know i asked for it back in September already but i would really appreciate it if you can email it to me again. i dont know who, but i've had people who texted messaged me and giving me their phone numbers-- please do not do so as i cannot see the screen at all!!

merry post-x-mas. i'm off to cingular now in Cerritos.

To start off, here are some pix of the wildest, most fun, accountants' company party:

okay enough of the fun stuff, here's the SUPER fun stuff.

2005 is coming to an end, and it's time to plan ahead for the 2005 tax filings. You guys know how much i love helping people with taxes, so if you need help, let me know. your information will be confidential.

where can you find tax information? my favorite websites are:

http://www.irs.gov/
you can find the 2005 new tax rules and year-end planning ideas.

http://www.ftb.ca.gov
this is for california. it's fun to browse but not as fun as IRS website.

http://www.ss.ca.gov/
this is a GREAT website-- it's the Secretary of State website. you can look up companies (that are registered to do business in the state of california), and find the business filing date, place where records are held, and who established them. The search if only for c-corps, s-corps, LLCs, and LPs. For example, you can find a lot of GAP, Inc. entities in there. you can also find Wells Fargo Bank and Charles Schwab since they are CA based companies.
