Sunday it wasn't rainy but it was a bit cold...but it was really pretty out.

Dealing with tax stuff (waiting for a nice refund!)

My grandpa Raul's memorial service & funeral is this weekend. He died last friday morning.

being an adult sucks

really hate being an adult right now.

Since I no longer work for the city, I got my PARS (Public Agency Retirement Services) funds distribution form in the mail today. Either I'm stupid or its too complicated to understand.

The funds won't be taxed on a Federal level (it’s under $200) but it could be taxed on a State level...as well as being subjected to an excise tax since I’m not 59.5 yrs old.

All for a measly $49.26! Plus I’ll have to deal with this mess again for 2 checks ($17.33) I got at the beginning of 2011.

I'm about to bite the bullet and ask my dad to explain this to me because I don't want to screw anything up for the taxes I'm about to file this year.

Maybe my sister is right in going to H&R Block...

it's been rainy off and on today so I had to ask my dad to take me to do my errands. what would have been 2 hrs turned into 4 hours - first because I left my bank cards at home and only realized once I got to the bank and in the line, so I had to go back home then back to the bank. The bank was taken care of, then the car died. UGH right during high school let out too! so I helped my dad push the car back to the bank parking lot and walked to city hall to do my business there. By the time I finished and walked back to the bank, the car started up. Then we went to the post office (I saw 2 cats fighting/playing/having sex?), from there to the mall so I could pay a bill.

horrible hair day and saw the guy who used to pick on me in high school. 12 yrs ago he was cute...now even cuter! and he remembered my name, before I saw him too.

I need to get to Vegas more! I'm about an hour away by plane and I've only gone once and that was as a side trip to Arizona. Random, I know. But I got a postcard from a community friend and she goes a heck of a lot and lives farther away than I do. Plus, I just booked my mom’s trip back to MI for her brother’s wedding in May. 9 days for $250! Going to Vegas for 4 days would have been something like $200 (and that includes round trip airport shuttle).

I have a pretty decent tax refund due to me and besides putting half of it in savings, that still leaves me with a nice chunk of change and I’m trying to figure out how to spend it.

I have an assignment due today and I need to get back to thinking about doing it. LOL I swear I probably won’t start on it until 7 pm, then stop from 9-11 to watch TV (Criminal Minds and the new Criminal Minds: Suspect Behavior) giving me 55 minutes to scramble and finish as the assignment is due by 11:55 pm. maybe I’ll start at 6 pm...

maybe one day

Maybe one day I'll write an entry about race as thought provoking as this or this. Until then, read those.
