I Can’t Take Any More of This Paperwork

by

I’ve been working on our amended tax returns and I have to say…I can’t barely even look at them anymore! Even though it could mean that I’d have to pay more in taxes, I think I’d be all for making income taxes simpler. Put amount from line 4 in line 11. Then add 10 and 11. Multiply the greater of line 4 or line 10 by 0.15 and put in line 12. Ugh.

In any case, I know now how much we owe except for any penalties and interest for our federal return. The damage right now is less than $3,000 for both the federal and the state. To pay our state I will pull from our savings account. The federal I am still figuring out what to do about going into a payment plan. I have the form to do it, I need to read it again when my mind isn’t so jumbled.

For tonight, though…I call it a night. It has been a very rough weekend after a very rough week.

The Nitty Gritty on My Obsessions

by

I’ve been tagged by Matt over at One Million and Beyond to spill the beans and let you all know more about my obsessions. So here they are.

Checking my Site Stats – I like checking my Sitemeter stats, not necessarily to see how many visitors I’ve had, but to see where everyone is clicking to leave my site. I like seeing that the things I’ve posted here are useful and interesting.

Reading Other Blogs – I spend way too much time reading other blogs and keeping up with things. I’m getting better at remembering to note articles I liked to then highlight on here but often times I still forget to do that.

Working With Quicken – My Quicken file is pretty darn detailed and I like to keep track of all money to the penny. If I was the only one making purchases and keeping receipts, I would probably even track soda pop can deposits as a separate account. But, I’m holding myself back from trying to do that.

Big Trucks – Here’s where the tomboy in me surfaces. Some people’s heads turn on a dime when an attractive person walks by. My head turns when a truck with a four-inch lift drives by. I’ve never had a big truck, but someday I hope to.

Some Old Obsessions – Trying to come up with this list was pretty difficult. A lot of things I would consider being obsessed over are no longer obsesssions. So, I thought I would mention a couple of my old ones: collecting bald eagle figures and items with bald eagles on them, playing Tetris and collecting McDonald’s Happy Meal toys.

Now it’s my turn to tag a few bloggers:
