Death and Taxes

Bob Hope once was quoted as saying, "I like to come to Washington, D.C., at least once a year. Why should my tax money travel more than I do?"

Well, I figure, going to school in DC is like being close to my tax money all year 'round...

Though my tax money probably does travel more than I do...

*grumble*

(and you know what---I STILL stand by the fact that Bob Hope was hot back in his heyday...)

Anyway--I have veered off my original thought which was-taxes.

I finally did my taxes today.

Finally you say? Taxes aren't due till April...Emily has become an overachiever. Not so.

I had to do my taxes so that I could do my FAFSA for school. Which was developed by psychiatrists at Guantanamo in order to break prisoners down into confessing "heinous" crimes against the US government, such as pirating Britney Spears albums (for SHAME...).

Anyhow...I FINALLY got the gist of the tax forms...after learning greek, aramaic, gaelic and a little igpay atinlay in order to decipher the encrypted tax collector code...

It seems I now owe the government and excess of...3 million dollars...do you think I did something wrong?

Just kidding.

But seriously-I'm actually getting money back, which should help, because once I mastered my taxes (and by mastered I mean I spent the extra $30 to have Turbo Tax assist me fill my taxes out....) I had to then try to translate that to my FAFSAs....oy...and I think I botched that so badly that I will have to take out additional loans and probably sell a few organs.

Anyone interested in a slightly dinged spleen?

Spring break...and a nose ring

Spring break this past week---tons of fun--(aka-training at work...) but I DID get some time off for actual fun outside work: after hemming and hawing for like, 10 years, I have a nose ring....TA DAHHH
