TAX Time

It's tax time!! I am one of those weird people who like doing their taxes. Call me crazy, but I do enjoy it. I think the biggest reason is because I always get a refund back. I think if I had to pay-in my enthusiasm would diminish. I like watching the little green/red numbers in the corner of Turbo Tax go up and down. The biggest thrill is thinking about what all I can use my refund for. Unfortunately there are always some sort of bills that need to be paid off before we can splurge. This year is no exception. Having a baby one month ago kind of puts a big dent in our fun money. Some part of growing up and taking care of what you know you need to do first takes away a bit of the fun. I do however feel a huge sense of accomplishment when I can write "paid off" on my bills. The two things I would really like to buy with our extra is a plane ticket to Raleigh for a girls' weekend in April and a new bedding set. Our bedding set has lasted 6 years and is falling apart. I think it is time!
So, it's off I go to collect our W-2s ( I can't wait for them to mail them :) ). I have to go buy Turbo Tax today as well. Putting together all of our tax papers is the least fun. Wish me luck! I hope this year proves to be the same as the preceeding ones!! Think REFUND!! REFUND!!
