never thought about doing that, for me it was just a matter of WHEN the jobs 
came in, EXCEPT for our week timeshare in New Orleans.. Some Decembers I had 
no jobs, one December/early January I did SIX jobs, each 3-4 days away from 
home..

yeah, don't get me started.. last year, I gave it up for a "normal" job here 
in Athens, but in January & Feb I made a whopping $1,800. My Tax lady charged 
my the same thing she did in 2009 as she did in 2008 to do my taxes!, $300+ 
for tax lady when I only made 1800.. I'll find someone else next year! I 
didn't want to make a scene, because she knows us & goes to our church..

DId that for 3 years.. I keep a spread sheet for each quarter with invoices, 
totals made, and estimated taxes to pay.
