Turlock and taxes and gas

Sorry the blog has been a little dull lately. I dunno, I just don't have any good stories for you guys lately. Grizzly just got neutered, but you guys don't want to hear more about my doggy and his boy parts. It's okay, I understand.

We've been planning on going out to Turlock to visit my parents, and it WAS going to be next week, but now we're probably going to postpone the trip until May. It sucks. But the reason is good...AJ has been out of work for the last week and they just got a big client, so he wants to make sure they can get that project done for them in time. So it's nice that AJ is getting work again. We seem to owe a butt-load in taxes this year, so we need that extra income to feel more secure.

By the way, how do uneducated people do their taxes? In my opinion it's like doing homework, and I really don't think all people can get an A+. Well yes, you can take your taxes to a professional, but not all people can afford that. Not that there's any uneducated poor people in the country...

Anyway, maybe we'll be in California for my birthday. That would be fun, eh? It should be pretty warm by the time we get there, so I need to get myself that new suit! I just hope we're not going to miss the one week of perfect weather Logan will get, if we're down there.

In other news, we've been waiting for the gas dude to come hook up a gas line to our dryer, for...hmm 4 months! Yes, we had to go through the same thing at our last place. Our landlord is taking care of the whole thing since we paid for the gas guy and then moved right after, only to need the same thing done. So that's nice of our landlord, but each month when the guy STILL hasn't come, we've gone up to pay our rent, and told him, hey your gas dude didn't come AGAIN. Here are the gas dude's 2 main excuses: "I forgot." "I came and no one was home." The first is unacceptable and unprofessional. The second is straight up bull---- because I have been HOME for the last 8 months! And that particular week he was talking about–I had no car, so I obviously wasn't gone anywhere.

You'd think the gas company was run by the government or something (ha–Jenni). I need some customer service, people!

I'm sick of hanging up wet socks.

K, I'll try to think of something more entertaining for my next post :)

Is it Spring time in Logan? because Rexburg has no sign of Spring. No warmth from the sun. No blossoming trees. No chirping birds. Just cold. And snow on the ground.

I usually find one of the free sites to do my taxes on. It's worked out well, and if you're not itemizing, you can e-file state taxes for free on utah.gov (/something about taxes).

You can do your taxes you are a very smart girl I know you can do it!

Keegan said...

freetaxusa.com is a good site. Free federal, $10 state. Wasn't too tricky either

Yep, I already did them on freetaxusa.com. I just didn't file yet because of the huge number I got, so we're taking them to a friend. I'm guessing it won't be any different, but just wanted to check. The homework part came in when I was looking at all the details I guess.

If you want you can come hang out with me at my house and dry your clothes. My dryer is super fast.

I hate taxes. Actually that's a lie. Normally I love taxes because we get a huge check in a few months after all the effort you take in doing them. We owed this year and it made me really mad. No big check for us! What makes it worse is others gloat about how they are getting 5k back. Can you tell I'm bitter????

Anyways hopefully you make it to Turlock to visit your parents. And that waste of space gas guy makes it to your house soon.
