…you know we’re deep into tax season around here.  I thought since I’ve been so quiet I’d give you all an update on the hell that is my life this time of year – though my long-time readers already know that I’m usually pretty scarce between February and April (and know why).  ;o)

So…yeah.  I’ve had a helluva week.  I’m mostly done with my biggest nightmare (yes, you Scout but it’s not your fault, it’s Paypal!  Bastahds!  You I love, them I hate.  Much.) and have my second biggest nightmare yet to tackle – since I haven’t received his expense reports yet.  Not a one, not even a lonely gas receipt.  Seriously, I don’t think the guy has a clue that his time is running out.

…which reminds me, I have an extension to file.  For a different client.  Crap.  *scribbles on to-do list*

As for the f-bomb, our friend Dave gave  me his W2′s a couple of weeks ago and decided to stop by the other day to…get this…sign his ‘paper thing’ (yes, that is what he said and I sweartogsd he does it on purpose).  I looked him straight in the eye (not easy since he’s 6’4″ in socks) and said, “F*ck you, Dave.  Get. Out.”  He laughed all the way to the car.

The jackass.  He’s lucky he could still walk.  ;op

This is how I spent my Saturday:

I drove down (and back) with Tina, hung out for most of the afternoon at Jess’ with old friends and new, had dinner with Risa at a Greek diner (because we were in Jersey!), and were home before curfew.  ;o)  It was a pretty awesome day!

In December, I won a couple of contests. I normally don’t enter them because of the honking stash issue, but my fingers did the walking for me on these. ;o)

First, we have some winnings from a contest at Birdsong’s blog:

It appears that there might be something in that bag…

…some very pretty Austermann Step, coffee that I can’t wait to try and a cute lil ladybug measuring tape. Thank you, Birdsong!!

I also have about half a sheep’s worth of clean fleece/locks here that I won at Lynne’s blog back in December that I just can’t get to sit still in front of the camera. You’re just going to have to take my word for it that it’s CVM, it’s many (natural) colors and it’s gorgeous. ;o). Thank you, Lynne!!

That’s all for now, back to the salt mines…err, adding machine. ;o)
