I'm such a good daughter

Dad kept telling sis and I to shoot lots of hogs on our zero success hunt and I teased him that he really missed pork chops but pretty much that was it.   Village Inn in local town quit serving them and I had never bought any pork other than ham, bacon or prepared pulled pork in sauce once or twice.    Well, I don't need to go hunting until I succeed or even buy a whole or 1/2 butcher hog to procure pork chops.   I bought a package at Safeway and breaded and baked them Saturday.   I baked them longer than needed because I didn't start the rice quick enough but they were still OK, not shoe leather and dad was happy.   Sunday I baked the spiral sliced ham I had bought for Easter because on sale and then also made ham and bean soup after putting the extra slices into baggies to freeze.   Dad likes soup,  he eats a lot of the canned and instant soups.   Well with the ham I like the ham and bean soup too,  with the turkey I might throw the carcass away if it was only me although with the pressure cooker making soup is OK.  

What I did not do is dig out my taxes and see if I am missing any 1099 or other forms and get a good start on that task.  Its not worth going to an accountant because the biggest part of the task for me is getting all the forms in one place and tabulating my charitable contributions but tax time always makes me wish I had a personal secretary.   Its silly, if I was rich enough to afford one, I'd still have to keep track of things to make sure they were not cheating me.  I guess I should marry a numbers nerd man.   But I think I would drive such types away with my messy personality or they would drive me crazy.
