We've got a winner!

Okay so in my last rant i was complaining about possibly owing our government money...

Something amazing happened.

Apparently I was on the borderline for getting nada, and one little number pushed me into the bracket of money-gettin..

In the end I walked away with the promise of a couple hundred dollars.

My unemployed wept with joy, would i have greedily liked more? Of course! Will i squander the little bit i recieved? Not a chance!

::Happy dances::

So anyway, then i realize I actually have to PAY to get said taxes done, woe is me. I pull out my checkbook expecting to shed a tear and hand over the money..

What happens you ask?

"Your payment has been taken care of this year! Thanks for being a repeat customer to our new firm"

::hand holding check book shakes a bit:: ::glance around for the candid camera crew::

Whats the catch?

The is no catch, my father graciously paid for my taxes for all the help I've been offering.

Then he turns around and tells me he'd like to pay for me to get my hair done, new clothes and even a dress for my cousins wedding... What is happening here? This is my father who insisted i start paying my own bills and way at 16, suddenly im halfway through 23 and he decides to start lending a hand.. Excuse me while i accept. I may have pride but i am no fool. And school?! he wants to pay for me to go back to school. Hell must be freazing over and I must really be dead and having a wicked dream.

I'll have to keep track and work on paying him back.

All in all this day is good. I decided to make the meatloaf tonight even though it is just us.

Blog on!

Excuse my brain it's a little behind...

So I woke up this morning, its finally stopped raining! It is sunny, it is "warmer", i place my coffee cup under the Keurig machine, lift the lid and check for a cup; score a fresh one! Put the lid back down look for the flashing light, coffee time! hit the large cup and walk away. Make a small breakfast, grab earlier mentioned cup.... and...its EMPTY!!!

Hmm, maybe i was too tired and only imagined i heard the amazing brewing noise?

Try again.

Nope, my water is being re-routed... back into the water holder. WTF is this. Give me coooffeeeeee.

*weep**whimper*

unplug, pout,try yet again.

No coffee. Stare at old normal coffee maker in confusion. How..do..I..work..this?

Make coffee, bad coffee, wait wait wait... ok. drink.

Rememeber i have an appointment with my tax guy today. This day is already off tilt.

The end.

And thus ends the story of my coffee addiction. It has been over a year since I have so much as LOOKED at my old school coffee maker. Thank heavens i still OWN one. With the Keurig, its grab a cup of choice stick it in. 1 minute later a fresh brewed original cup for each person.

I really would not be surprised if this is decaf. Or just the worst coffee i have tasted in a year. Bleeeh.

I am finally getting my taxes done... i know i know, way to procrastinate. Hopefully my late-itude will make me not have to wait 2 hours after my appointment time like last year. I'll go in, hand him my W2, college credit form and voila. He'll either tell me i get NADA, or he'll magically find me home... in which case i'll still have to pay him WAY too much to get my taxes done. SIGH.

Can a girl not catch a break?! If there is a god gracing this earth, I will at least break even. That would suck, but hey at least I wouldnt LOSE money. Although, I have heard cases this year of people getting more money back than ever before. Fingers crossed, this unemployed lady could use a little cash in her account.

My boyfriend got a few hundred extra than ever before, will my fate be the same? I doubt it sincerely.

Anywho, If i dont stop the whine fest, I might actually MISS said appointment, so, off i go, wish me luck!
