Taxes are done!

Ok yes, I did procrastinate a bit, but at least they were turned in on time and I didn't have to file an extension. My boss is back from vacation tomorrow. She actually called me from the Dallas airport this evening to check in. I told her she can't go on any more vacations. The first day she was gone our phone system went down and one of the doctor's cell phone broke so I was running around all day taking care of that. It'll be good to have her back. I didn't get everything done that I wanted to. Things just kept popping up that had to be handled.

I'm getting some money back from the government. This was the first year I've ever itemized and holy cow does that home interest and property taxes really make a difference! I think I'm going to buy furniture for my empty guest room. This way if I have a roommate, I still have a room available for visitors. I just want something cheap and cute. I'll probably get a queen sized bed - I think the room is big enough for that.

On myspace I added some more stuff to my profile, but I deleted the reference to this blog. The news has been having a lot of stuff lately about people being tracked down from myspace cause people put too much information out there. It seems like it's harder on blogger to search for actual people, which I kinda like. If someone emails me on myspace I can always let them know this is here. I just don't like the idea of a ton of people I don't know checking this out. Of course, since I haven't gotten many comments lately :-( there probably aren't that many people reading this. Which then leads me to question am I doing this blog for me or for other people? I've never really kept a diary before...tried it, since that seemed like a teenage girly thing to do...but never really enjoyed it. Maybe cause my handwriting sucks so much. But, I have been enjoying this. It's kinda fun to look back a bit and remember what I was doing (of course that does make me realize how long I've been fiddling with this mosaic backsplash-Argh!). So, I'm pretty sure I'll keep this up.

  • You still have readers. I've not updated my blog, so here's an update on the Austin situation: still no idea about money, but got enough in federal loans to cover tuition and $500 per month living expenses. Had the guy out to do a quote to fix up the bathroom but haven't heard anything yet so the place isn't on the market. Checked out Penske and their stuff is about 40% the cost of Uhaul. I can get a truck plus gas for about $1500 out the door.

  • It's me and I'm still alive! Sorry for not writing in such a long time! I got your package last week and was thrilled to find so many kinds of goodies! There's a package waiting to be shipped out for you, too, this time with edibles. :)

    Yeah, I'm such a tease... start a blog and don't write for 2 months. Will try to keep it up-to-date!

    Thanks for reminding me about taxes. Have to get those out soon!
