One Good Saturday
Laura’s mom is here this weekend, so Laura & I went to town today to run some errands and get a few things done.
For starters, we went to Miskelly’s to check on our furniture. Since we hung the new fans there we needed to make sure that the tall posts on the bed wouldn’t bump into the fan, and we wanted to confirm the delivery date. Well, come to find out everything was at the store! Somehow we fell through the cracks and noone called to tell us it was all in. Few minutes later and we have delivery of everything setup for next Saturday. Laura & I quickly went to town to try and buy some new sheets & stuff to match the new furniture. We had thought about painting the bedroom a new color (it’s currently brown), but I’m lazy and we found a set we really liked at Bed, Bath, & Beyond on sale for $99.
After all that running around we came home to take a nap, only to find out that my W2 had finally arrived. Evidently CSC‘s central office didn’t update their personell records on me when I moved from the apartment to the house, so they send the W2 to my old apartment. When I called to get it fixed & get a new one sent out, they said that because it was all my fault (even though I told them I had moved) I would have to wait until February 15th. Whatever, I was too tired to “fight the power” and just waited. Well, with my W2 in we finally had everything we needed so we postponed the nap and took off for H&R Block. There was only 1 preparer working today, and she was swamped by some guy who was trying to fudge his own business & personal returns to maximize his returns. He kept the place locked up for over 2 hours. We finally got back, tho, and got everything filled out and E-filed. So, in 8-15 days we’ll have a nice fat refund waiting for us in our accounts.
All in all, it was a pretty good & productive day. Combine this with the Homestead Exemption stuff that we got done on Thursday, and it’s been a good week
