Thanks TurboTax!


Some weekends are all fun; others all work; and some just downright unproductive. Well, we might not feel like we got a lot done this weekend, but I submit that our three-day weekend proved to be a list-checker-off-er.

  • A little bit of "lazing" on Friday night
  • Apartment hunting on Saturday along with a trip to Target in Brooklyn (love Target!)
  • Date night at home with NetFlix (DejaVu was the pick of the weekend)
  • Review of the finances - a conversation we always put off for a "rainy day."
  • Federal taxes completed - thanks to TurboTax and Brett (since he did 97% of the work) and a day off of work that gave us the 5 1/2 hours it took.
Looking forward to that return. Any suggestions of what we should do with the money? I was thinking a trip to a remote tropical island sounds nice (or anywhere with warm weather for that matter). Or another European adventure. I'd even take a shopping spree in the city. But maybe we shouldn't be extravagant with it. And let's be honest, frugal me dreams big until she sees the pretty numbers of such luxury.
