I got all the tax stuff ready. I even entered it in Turbotax to see what we might be getting, ballpark. With no deductions for business, plus a deduction for my student loan interest that I'm not sure I'm really entitled to (last I heard, you only got that for the first 5 years of paying your loan, but they didn't ask when I started paying it so perhaps that's changed) we may be getting around $500. Now, we're going to pay a tax lay a pile of money to make sure it gets done correctly, and she has been doing business deductions for our float tank. But since hub's become permanently employed and the grove's gotten bigger, we haven't been paying hardly any attention to the tank biz. We're about to pay the thing off finally, and are thinking of just ditching the whole biz entirely. That way we could kill the extra phone line and just float friends at our leisure. But we're going to wait to see if doing this will make a substantial difference in our taxes. I'm just waiting to hear back from her to get the paperwork to her.
To make this post not completely boring, I found out at the Straight Dope that lightning (and every time I see someone spell it 'lightening' I want to throw things) during snow is fairly rare due to things that have to do with humidity and the most favorable conditions for lightning to occur. But it does happen (in Utah more than anywhere else, apparently). And when it does, instead of a thunderstorm, you get... wait for it... thundersnow! Isn't that the best word? It's so contradictory. I think I will also use it as a word to describe when normally quiet cats decide to stampede about the house. "Thundersnow!!!"
This day seems endless.
