okay... there's really no "bad" to this story (yet. anyway.)
the good.... here we go with Tax Talk...
I had to drive up to the accountant and pay him $200 for him doing my returns. But, I had glanced at the last page of the return and he had my "gambling winnings" as $7000
nun-uh. nada. no. nyet.
i had won $4000 on Christmas and had the W2G form regarding this - but hadn't given it to him (wound up telling one of his girls on thursday about it... and apparently she put the wrong numbers down.)
soooooo... when i saw him today i mentioned it and he said "hey that's a big difference!" and wound up crunching the numbers (sweet!!! i have a real "number cruncher"!!!) and it lopped off $500 from what I owe.
so instead of the $2329 that I thought I owed, I now owe $1859.
i added that onto the $5097 from 2006 when i called the IRS today to re-do the payment plan that i'd set up a couple of weeks ago.
i'm pretty happy. i know it's almost two grand that i owe for this year, but, i don't have that "holy shit, i am going to be in a world of financial hurt" sicky feeling that i've had for the past, oh, i dunno, 5 months.
anyway... that's the good!
the bad. knock on wood. nothing. unless down the road i am sent to a "federal pound you in the ass prison
".
the ugly...
i bought 8 packs of Activia yogurt yesterday.
Prune flavoured.
I am eating the first one - it's pretty sweet. not a disgusting taste though. I'm not really a big yogurt fan, usually I just do cherry flavoured (which i bought 4 packs out of the 8)
i am slightly frightened only because apparently that YO+ plus yogurt that i'd been eating is not known as the Poop Yogurt.
the Activia is.
and i'm eating it.
and I just had a black bean, beef and cheese burrito from Surf Taco for lunch today.
This may just turn out to be The Perfect Shit Storm.
Be afraid.
I am.
Whatchoosayin'?? (1 yapped)
I was just wondering ..... did you need the red-headed, kilted hotties to mask bathroom noises with bagpipes after the Activia? ;-)
