Taxes

Shelly

I didn’t use I-File last year, because there was some sort of glitch. First, it gave me a wildly inaccurate amount that I owed the state (I have never, ever owed the state, because I rent and take the renter’s deduction). No way did I owe anything, much less a couple of thousand dollars. And then, I-File got stuck in an endless loop when I tried to find the mistake. After having a giant panic attack, I ended up paying to file through H & R Block or some other service, which worked Just Fine.

Because of that, I was leery of trying I-File again. I did, though (cuz it’s FREE), and ended up getting a little more back this year than last year.

All in all, Operation Tax Filing 2008 was a success.

The next step in my plot for world domination: Operation Cracktop.

That is all. As you were, comrades!

This time, not the show.

I got up this morning and couldn’t find my glasses anywhere. WTF?! I always put them on my bedside table. I have never misplaced them before. I spent about an hour tearing the house apart, looking for them (just call me Velma), before I gave up and put in my contacts. At which point I realized that it’s been so long since I’ve worn them that I have no idea where my contact solution is (and it’s likely out of date, even if I’d been able to find it). Hence the quick trip to Target.

I did end up finding my glasses. Somehow they’d fallen behind the headboard of my bed. Haven’t a clue how on earth that happened. My working theory is that the cat had something to do with it.
