Tax Friday

Directly on the heels of the first weekly Oops! Thursday is the first annual Tax Friday. My situation this year is made much more complicated by the sales of two—count 'em, two—houses last summer, at *e*n*o*r*m*o*u*s* cost.

Packer Thomas CPAs, conveniently located in downtown Youngstown, has a great online Tax Notebook. You enter all your information and push a button to send it to them. Then they review your paperwork, massage your numbers, and file the return.

I took the day off of work to finish this onerous task. I'm almost there. I promised myself a reward if I can complete this task today. The reward? I'm going to run down to Washington on Sunday to shop for fabric, attend a performance of my beloved Verdi Requiem at the KenCen in the afternoon, and have a bite with friends before I head back.

Oh, and as a side note, if there's any justice in the world, the windows will be back in place in Brad's room this afternoon. Two of the windows are back; the other two should be back in an hour or two. The door jambs may not get finished today, but at this point I just want those windows put back and a sense of semi-completion!

Hooray! Two triumphs in one day.
