I have big plans for this year’s tax return. I know – there are those out there that think it is a waste to let Uncle Sam hang on to your money. I understand that view. But coming from someone who is not the best at saving, I think of it as an automatic savings plan.
Tax Return Wish list:
- Tile Back splash in Kitchen. Food/Grease spattered paint is not pretty, impossible to avoid, and even harder to clean.
- Blinds / Window treatments...... so that we can dance around like fools and not worry about being busted by the neighbors, delivery men, pedestrians, passersby etc.
- Screens for windows. Fresh air, good. Bugs, bad. Spiders, evil.
- Bleaching trays. My teeth were never white and my Diet Coke / tea / red wine habits are not helping.
- A laptop / wireless router so instead of being antisocial in the office I can be antisocial anywhere around the house.
Reasons why the Wish list might have to remain a Wish list.
- Nickel decided to drag our digital camera off the dresser by the strap. (This occurred somewhere between 4 and 5 this morning and I chose not to assess damage at that time. So maybe a miracle occurred and it is OK.)
- Denver decided to use my mouth guard as a chew toy. (I never leave it on the nightstand! Why oh WHY would I do that when we have a visiting pooch?)
- Bleaching trays and the laptop seem indulgent.
- Purchasing all of the above would taking the savings out of the aforementioned automatic savings plan
- We still don't have a mirror in our bathroom.
- Married filing Jointly means it should be Our Wish List. Not My Wish List. The good news is that we are in agreement on the back splash........the color is another story.
On a separate note......not loving the quirky spacing / bullet features of blogger tonight. Is this normal?

Oh, "married filing jointly" means that you have to agree on what you want to do with the dough? :) I think your wish list is totally in line with what Randy wants. Absolutely. No need to confer. :)
