Happy Tax Day

I thought this cartoon may be appropriate for April 15th. For if you filed your taxes today, as I did, you may feel like you just got screwed. And not in a good way.

Our accountant got ours done for us on Saturday, what a relief. I love having someone else do it for me. Small luxury for a little bit of money. Congrats on getting yours done on time!

Chewy as the resident accountant here, I love you. You all cannot imagine the hours I have worked over the last 3 weeks. CJ - I think after last night at Tisane with my fav. X & her partner I should not show up there for a while. OMG talk about blowing off some TAX steam. Almost felt like being the the brewery.

Thanks OC. I really tried to get them done sooner. It would have been a little less stressful.

Chewy and Rubye Jean - You ladies are good! I think Cristina would be very impressed!

Robert I would have to agree with you on that. Just patiently waiting for my refund and my tax stimulus package to arrive.

Oh CJ no trouble was gotten into by any let's just say I ended up "drunk dialing" my "date" for tonight to apologize for my favorite X texting her and giving someone else my #. And yes I will be in NoHo tonight - I don't even know what this woman looks like - could be scary.

Now Boarding Rows 1 Through 10. Is There Room For Your Carry On?

Here's an interesting texting typo I created last week: And if airline seats get any smaller, I can see this being an actual problem. Can you imagine? I'm sorry ma'am, but there is no way both of you can seat in one seat. You will have to purchase an additional ticket for "her". What would happen then? Would she want the window or middle seat? That's assuming she would even want to sit next to me. I mean, we are together 24/7 so she may want a little alone time, out in the open air, where she is free of any restraint. And what if she is chatty, flapping her lips the whole time? I'm not a big talker when I travel, preferring instead to bury my head in a magazine so I can take my mind off the flight and enjoy my Ativan. I imagine the conversation going as such: She:  I hate that bike seat at spin class. You have no idea what it's like. Me:  Spin class is only 50 minutes. You can handle it. I bought you padded shorts. Those weren't     ...

Oops, I Did It Again

A while back I did a post about super-gluing a Mickey Mouse figurine to my middle finger. This time I have somehow gotten a ring stuck on the same finger. And I can't get it off. I put the ring on yesterday afternoon. I knew I was going to have trouble as soon as I shoved it past my knuckle. My finger is starting to get a little sore from all the tugging and possibly a little swollen, which is obviously not helping matters. Doesn't the Universe realize I can't possibly drive to work in Boston without complete and total use of this finger? It is as necessary for the commute as is a tank of gas. How will I convey my true feelings to the "left hand turn from the right lane" folks I encounter every day? I cannot be mute for my commute! Anyway, if anyone has any suggestions on how to remove the ring 1) without removing my finger and 2) while keeping the ring intact I would greatly appreciate it.

Things For Which To Be Thankful

My two nieces have had some health issues lately. First E was admitted to the hospital with severe abdominal pain. She ended up with a five day stay. Then my other niece S spent twelve hours in the ER due to a pain in her side (no, it wasn't me). Not feeling up to par can really bring you down. So I am sending them both some well wishes here today and hopefully convincing them that there are worse things in life. There is 80's hair: Oh, and a couple of more things to add to the list: red shag carpet and wrist corsages. Rock me like a hurricane girls, but you sure are pretty in pink (and black). Hey - didn't you have a cat that got lost at one point. I think I see it. ADDENDUM - THOSE PICTURES ARE NOT OF ME. SORRY FOR THE CONFUSION. TO BE FAIR, I HAVE POSTED MY 80'S PIC BELOW:
