My weekend:

Taxes filed
more than half of the kitchen floor stripped, deglued, filled, and sanded

Yay, I'm not the only one who worked on taxes! Alas, I didn't receive the IRS booklet+forms mailing this year, so there were several trips upstairs to the printer, and I didn't actually finish. (I was also fiddling with my PDA at the time, and talking to gigglefest for a while... many distractions, not exactly a problem!)

Today at the library I picked up the actual instruction booklet, so I won't have to page through a PDF when I decide to work on them next. And then I can return the booklet to a library when I'm finished, because hey, it's just the instructions, so I won't have made it imperfect by removing any forms. :)

The MA commuter deduction seems to have vanished this year. Oh well...

but there's still the rental deduction, right? CA has that now but you need to have rented in the state for most of the year, sigh. :p

and that's one nifty cradle! Okay, that is not a response to this post either, but at least it's directed at the right person. :)

Yup, still rental deduction. Huh, the CA one sounds confusing; in MA you can do anything up to a cap, AFAIK. Well, maybe the partial-year resident forms are different, for all I know.

And i agree about the cradle, too! I was thinking of making some jokes about the pictures of his stylish crib, but then I didn't.

Ooh, really? I didn't know that. What do you need to prove how much you spent on renting?

Yay taxes done! I still need to start mine, but rumor has it that in Massachusetts the deadline is on April 18 this year because of a holiday....

I first read your second item as "kitchen ... deluged, filled" and was a bit concerned. :-)

Ah yes, the Patriot's Day tax delay.
When I lived in NY the only reason I knew there was a Patriot's Day holiday was I lived in a small slice of NY that sent its federal taxes through MA, so would have the occassional extra day.
