With all the money I'm making from Payperpost, I will sure enough need to find some tax deductions. After checking out what can and cannot be counted, I picked some that I will be using.

1. Internet Bill--Ours is through Wildblue which means mega bucks a month.
2. Hosting Fees--Yep, I'm paid for a year but you can bet that will be added on!
3. Domain Fees--Yep, I've got 5 or 6 so far;) That quickly adds up.
4. Office Supplies--I LOVE office supplies but they can get quite costly.
5. Templete/Theme/Logo Fees--Did some things here and there.
6. Advertising--I did some advertising too. That really paid off!
7. Paid Submission--I submitted my site to a few places that I had to pay for so you can bet I will count it in.
8. Coaching--I needed some advice from the high rollers:)
9. Business cards--I haven't done it yet but it's in the plans.
10. Camera & acc.--I use my camera nonstop for my blogging. The memory card, batteries, etc will be a great deduction.
11. TAX software--Yes, you can deduct this too. I do my online every year so I qualify for this.
12. Images--I have quite a few images, including my cowgirl you see in the header. These are deductible as well.
13. Blogging software--This can be photoshop or web form builders. Lots can go under this that would qualify.

Yes, I threw in a couple of affiliate links:) Christmas is coming afterall!

If you're not participating in TT, then you're missing out on a fun meme and the chance to meet new friends. I was gonna be creative this week but we had company among other things going on so this is my quick list!

1. I'm all about reality! Big Brother, Survivor, and The Ultimate Coyote are some of my favs.
2. CourtTV. I was a jury once when I was a kid. A boy had stolen a music cd from Kmart. GUILTY! He had to do some community service.
3. Iron Chef and Challenge are 2 of my favorites. I like to see them work under pressure and see what kind of dish they will create.
4. Dog the Bounty Hunter rocks! I like the way he is with his family and I love a tough man that can cry;)
5. Chelsea Lately is freakin' hilarious!! Man she cracks me up.
6. I'm a home shopper---QVC baby:)
7. I LOVE ultimate fighting, boxing, and football.
8. I try to watch World Poker Tour when I get a chance. One of these days I'll play my brother-in-law who is big poker fan....and I will win.
9. Little House on the Prarie.....I want families to be more like the Ingalls.
10. I hated SpongeBob at first but have grown to love Patrick. "Man I need a life".
11. YES, I watch the news but I don't enjoy it. It's so depressing.
12. I've been a fan of the Price is Right for as long as I can remember. I don't think I'll care much for Drew Carey though:(
13. I long for new episodes of Fear Factor...I KNOW I could win and do all that stuff--It's sooo easy;)

There it is---all the crap I watch on TV. I am mostly on the computer during free time but if I do watch TV, these are the things I watch.
