taxing

work... went... well... *laugh*  really, i am almost done w/ the 600+ photos from the past couple months. woot!  huge feeling of relief.  i had been begging for help w/ them for so long, and it was all one step forward, two steps back.  so finally i got tired of waiting & just gave myself an hour or two a day to work on them, and finally they're almost caught up!  along w/ all the other stuff, claims & reqs & vacations & oh yeah i got to work on my error report today, too.  timecards and retirement stuff... it was a potpourri of stuff today.  : ) 


the weather was really crazy - foggy & drizzly most of the day.  sudden, heavy (PRETTY) snow this afternoon, which was gone as quickly as it started.  then the snowy/icy mix, which wasn't so much fun!  


bret picked me up at 5:30 & we picked up adolph's for dinner & then headed to find ... where he'll be WORKING tomorrow!  : )   hooray!!  then home to eat delicious tacos & chips & salsa.  only had 20 minutes, tho, because i had to get my taxes done.  i go to the place i used to work at, friends of the family, part of the family, whatever you want to call it.  they are family, i feel anyway.  i worked for them for 4 or 5 tax seasons (is that all?  hmmm.  have to check my notes!  lol) and they are juli's in-laws, which makes them my niece & nephew's grandparents, which makes them... FAMILY.  : )  


we visited while they worked, and i do love them, but a lot of our visiting was about how evil president obama is, and how he might be the antichrist, and ... erm... idk, do ppl really think that?  really really?  are the signs all there?  it's so hard to know what is rumor and what is true - like, some of what they were talking about is that other countries have been worshiping obama and have asked him to come be their ruler?  i'd never heard that before they mentioned it, but i don't really pay attention to a lot of news/politics (other than the sanity blog cuz i love the way he thinks!).  


anyway, it was just a really weird conversation out of the blue kinda thing!!  still a nice visit, and at the end of the night i was happy with the results!  : )  of course, me being me, i realized i hadn't replaced my checkbook, so i had to run home (in the now-icy weather) and back to pay them!!  : )  


tomorrow i have to be up 1/2 an hour earlier to take bret to work so i guess bed is calling my name!  happy for tomorrow - get to hang out w/ erin!  going to have to postpone my brakes again, tho.  after paying for the taxes and whatnot, i just don't have $300... but i know i want to replace the brakes before anything gets wonky, so i guess next week?!  lol  oye!  


so, happy day to you dear readers!  thanks for sticking w/ me even when i don't have anything very interesting to say.  : )  on that note, in honor of dumbledore - sprocket!  widget!  magpie!  ; )
