YESTERDAYTo my fellow unfortunate Americans (haha), I hope you got your taxes done by the midnight, April 15 deadline! If not, well, you're SOL! heh Mine were e-filed by our accountant a month ago, but I waited until April 14 to mail my payments, as I was aggro about owing $470 in federal and $104 in state taxes. :( I didn't want the government to

I have never seen the honey Frappucino before, though that may be because I'm a creature of habit and usually get a White Chocolate Mocha every time I'm at Starbucks. *giggle* That sounds pretty appealing to me so I'll have to try it sometime.

You and I are BOTH creatures of habit, it seems, at Starbux! ;D I almost always get the Java Chip Frapp, and you the White Chocolate Mocha. I'm not a big fan of white chocolate, since it doesn't actually contain chocolate (heehee) but since you love it, I might give it a try some time!

I had a prayer plant in high school. Well, I had many houseplants in high school.

I didn't know you were into houseplants as a teenager! That's cool! :) What did you think of the prayer plant, and did yours ever flower? What were your fave houseplants in general? I have many, but one is pothos with the variegated leaves; it's pretty, it's super easy to grow, it has low light requirements, and the cuttings root super easily too. Mother-in-law's tongue (snake plant) is funny, weird and cool and tolerates just about any type of neglect -- I got one for a friend who's a "brownthumb" and it's still thriving years later! ;D

Your sansevieria must've been VERY happy if it flowered! They rarely do that! heh You must've treated it a lot more kindly than those who neglect it. Despite tolerating low light, scanty watering and irregular temperature fluctuations, they are definitely happier with bright indirect light, moderate water and a nice room temperature. Some folks even give 'em a bit of weak fertilizer! :) Do you remember how you treated yours to get it to flower? (See what happens when someone gets me started talking horticulture? LOL!!)
BTW, what the heck is purple velvet plant? I like fuzziness on plants too, and everyone knows purple is my fave colour, so I expect I'd LOVE to see/try out that plant. :D I guess I'm a pretty predictable person, eh?

Also, how on earth do you manage to get money back from Uncle Sam, despite all those exemptions?? :O And what, if anything, am *I* missing that I don't get that, especially since my total earnings last year were less than $25,000?! *blush*
I know I probably sound ignorant of how this stuff works, but in truth I really do have only a very BASIC understanding of it. heh Knowing that I need to change my "1" to "0" is good enough for me, if it keeps me from owing a large sum of money at one time! :)

Iiii owed taxes this year, although it wasn't very much. I also filled out another W-4. Hopefully next year I won't owe anything. Hopefully I'll not buy quite so much online, either. ;)

That sucks that you owed taxes too this year, but it's good you changed your W-4! Here's to BOTH of us getting a refund next year instead of owing! *highfive*

I have not tried the honey frapuccino (didn't know there was such a thing) but I did try the honey latte and I wasn't incredibly impressed. I actually wondered if they'd remembered the honey! Maybe I'll try the frap next time.
Thinking healing thoughts for CH. That is scary stuff. :(

If you try the Honey Frapp I'd be interested in your opinion, especially since you weren't that taken with the Honey Latte. Something about the Frapp was just kinda... weird. I wonder if they used TOO much honey in mine?
Thank you for the healing thoughts for CH! *hugs* We are all hoping for the best; she sure deserves it!!
