One step ahead!
Well I finished my taxes, short of maybe 2-3 deductions I am going to check on in the morning, if I can do those I think I get the tax down a bit, but as it stands I get no refunds, paying under $200 total, of course thats not including the $138 for TurboTax online to get it all said and done, but a small price to pay really, plus if I do taxes online again next year, I’ll have my return from this year in their system, thus saving me the hassle of keeping a printed copy.
So been toying with the idea of the road trip again, three fold reason really:
- To get out of dodge for a while.
- Visit Family
- Take Pictures.
I only have 1 major commitment left at the moment, which is a wedding of two friends on the 28th, which is not really that far off (hitting Target this week for their gift), but after that I honestly don’t have a set amount of commitments - hosting biz is going smooth, this week some new configuration tweaks will be in place, and I’m hoping to get the Fantastico bunk fixed up one way or another - for some reason they can’t figure out why its not working, I may just eat it, and buy the lic. myself so I can deal directly - eliminate the middle man, fight for a bit of cash back later.
Which leads to the question, where to go? I need to go visit my brother, he has a new place @ the beach, and of course I need to go and stay for a day or two and take in the sights, but I think I want to maybe just cruise up California coast first, head north, and if I hit the border of Cali/Oregon and I feel energetic and I have clean clothes still, then keep going towards my grand parents place - but then again if my family is considering going that way later this year, I may just save up for a plane ticket, and go with them - but none the less, a drive north would be fun, specially along the coast line.
Anywhoo, my random bits of brain for the evening, tomorrow should prove to be an fun day, getting taxes finalized, doing the final “audit” checks and such that TurboTax online offers, and hit print, and get it out in the mail before the last pickup - of course certified (using Stamps.com) so it’s all good, but for now its Dresden Files time, Sunday’s episode just downloaded to iTunes (had a season pass) so going to go watch that, and maybe finish up the night with some Wii bowling, my average has been lacking as of late.
night folks, have a happy Monday!
