Got the Refund
Yep, took forever. Some unknown reason it was impossible to direct deposit so we got a check. The bank info was correct, don't know what is wrong at the IRS. -
Taxes Done
Hubby went to a CPA instead of H&R Block but the Federal and State taxes are done and mailed. We get $1 back from the state, a bit more from the Feds. Got to pay the locals but I'll wait until April for that. Discovered I made only $7000 more than hubby. His fire pay must have closed the gap, but what does that say for my additional 4 years of ( Read more... ) -
Did January Right!
I did get my first month of 'contact two' done, I did call and talk with M and A. Got a bonus as L called me, too. Felt bad that I had little to say to any of them, my life is especially boring at this time.

That's not new, when I lived in New Mexico I did nearly all of my gift shopping on-line, but this time I had the companies send directly to my brothers' homes. I only used two companies that I am very confident will send exactly what I expect, but not having the gifts ( Read more... ) -
Happy Thanksgiving
Christmas cards addressed, signed, and stamped. Just got to get the letters written for inside! I don't do the photocopied newsletter, but I do type my letters on the computer and 'recycle' some of the same paragraphs at times.
Hope all is well with you.
Thanks,

"Usual" Halloween
Why am I not surprised that 1. Trick or Treat is scheduled for tonight instead of actual Halloween night or 2. the weather channel is predicting cold and rain? I don't think Pennsylvania children expect anything but poor weather for trick or treat, it's got to be cold at least. What I'm confused over is the local community's need for a Thursday ( Read more... ) -
Back to the Scouting Routine
My troops start up again this Tuesday so I've been frantically attempting to get organized. We'll have at least 4 Senior Scouts, 6 Cadettes, and 8 Brownies to start. I expect more Brownies to join, for sure.
