Gah update
Life's been crazy!
I worked every day last week.
Also tried to do the taxes and failed. I ended up with us owing more money than we got as a refund last year...and since last years refund got us the computer we use for our media center and several board games it was quite a chunk of change. We picked up Turbo tax and somehow managed to get what we owe to under $50. Sigh of relief. With the stuff I'm doing now being independent contractor work with no business expenses to off set it I am paying many taxes on that money. And the stuff taken out when I was an employee and by IWU wasn't quite enough to cover.
Also planned a surprise birthday party for 2 friends. Pirates vs ninjas. With lots of help from Julie and Pat and Frank and an additional cake from Laurie we totally rocked them. Thar sort of suspected "something" was up but we totally surprised Amy:) Yeah. So tired. But so much fun...though I ended up getting up at 8am to accomplish all the baking...
And last Monday Mom got a new furnace installed and her sisters came and helped her clean out what used to be my room.
This Monday she and her co-worker stayed the night as they had a class in Decatur on Tuesday.
I was supposed to maybe work in the warehouse a little this week but I've not heard more about that so I guess I'm not.
And we're throwing another birthday party this Saturday. This one is totally not a surprise as my co host is the birthday girl herself. I just know way too many people born in February. Sorry guys 2 parties this month is all I can throw. I'm running out of funds:) But at least some of the decorations can be reused:)
It seems like there was other important stuff to note but I don't remember now.
