I think I’m done with taxes. I guess I’ll just wait to see if the government decides to ring me up in the next couple of weeks . . . Anyway, filing those things made me grateful that we don’t yet have 1) a house 2) children 3) other investments 4) a lot of money coming in. Way to bring out the silver lining in my life!
Now it’s time to start on my real work. We’re halfway through spring break (ack!) and I have yet to start on the paper I had in mind, but maybe the rush of polishing off taxes will help me along! Only one slight problem: I have a whole pile of recipes I want to try out this week . . .
Oh yes, and I hoped to be able to look up from work and note, “Oh cool, I have a husband. Maybe I should go and introduce myself to him.” Of course, when I do that, I only see the top of his curly head, as he’s nose-deep in work of his own. It’ s a good thing he has a pretty head of hair to look at! But I think we’re both trying to get a lot of work done before spring really comes in singing. Right now it’s cold and there’s a pile of snow on the ground, but once the weather warms up and the birds start making a melodious racket, Sydney will be hauling me off to the garden and I’ll be persuading him to go for a hike. Ooh, hiking, okay, spring needs to hurry up!

Yes, but Erin, that’s when your taxes get really fun… You don’t even need a lot of money, simply cashing in any savings bonds will do. Or perhaps working in two different states. Or purchasing a condo. Oh the sweet complications of our federal government 🙂
I had my research paper draft due the day after I got back from spring break… except she e-mailed us on the saturday (i.e. 2 days before it was due) to tell us she was giving us an extension… that’s a little late to be granting extensions on papers of this length!!!! Augh. oh well, the upside is that most of mine is done now I guess.
Glad to hear you’re almost done with that. Your blog has been pretty silent, so I’ve assumed that you were tapping away at your keyboard on something more important. And when you’re done, I think you deserve a nice meal out to celebrate!
