Our tax appointment was awful. We went in knowing we would owe some money, but left completely shell shocked at just how much Uncle Sam says we owe him. It kinda ruined my day. The crappy thing is that we had money set aside for taxes and it won't even cover 25% of what we owe ( Read more... )

I faltered and haven't updated in a long time. So, some recent highlights ( Read more... )

In an odd way, mid-January started off a desire to actually cook dinner instead of heat up dinner. For years Adam and I have been doing pre-packaged things for dinner.

When the house is neat, 'all is right.' The only slight problem I have is that clutter annoys me more than dirt. When there is clutter there is no inner peace, dirt...well, I have to ( Read more... )

My sister has been on a well deserved vacation for the past week and I'm sooo jealous! I want to do the same vacation she did. It doesn't help that she has texted a picture each day with something cool. She flew into Hartford, spent 2 days in Connecticut, and from there hit up Boston, New York and Rhode Island! I got a cool picture of the ( Read more... )
