Greetings from tax land! Whew, I can officially say that Derick and I have officially completed and filed our taxes together, for the first time as husband and wife, owning a home and having part of his taxable income come from Wisconsin!! Whew! It took us about three hours this morning to pull everything together, test-run on paper and then entering everything into the computer program.
I cannot believe that it got up to 41 degrees the ther day! Snow was melting! Derick and I had the windows open when we were driving over to my parent's house to have a "workday." Too bad that type of weather isn't going to be sticking around...I wonder what the groundhog will say tomorrow morning...? Hopefully that spring is coming!
On me: Well, I guess life for me has been pretty standard and pattern-istic. Get up, am thankful I have a job, get ready, go to work, work all day, come home, make dinner, relax for a little bit, go to bed, wake up and do it all over again. I am starting to think that the work life in a cubicle is not for me right now, at least not in a building with no windows. That is just plain depressing! I have had the strange itch to move somewhere else. Ya know, just start over with life and everything since we really aren't tied down to anything here other than my job and the fact that most all of my and Derick's family is here and in Wisconsin. Derick has said that he wouldn't mind moving either.
On Derick: Well, he has been getting more calls for work - subbing AND Gander Mountain call-ins, so that is really good. The bad thing was that they were all on the same day! He does have a second interview tomorrow night with an insurance company. If he chooses this job, there is a better chance that he could make money! Other than that, he keeps the couch held-down and the PS3 up and running. We did get a new game the other night (we owed it to ourselves) that we both love and think will become our new party game - BUZZ!
On Tucker: He is still as curious as ever and is now officially 39 pounds! He was just in (Sat.) for his last round of puppy shots and got a shiny new tag for his collar. He is only 6 months old! Laura C came over to visit today and he was only 2 weeks old when she first saw him! My how things have changed!
Back to me: Haha I just realized how I was writing this post...like the superbowl that I am currently watching...they have the ball, now they have the ball, now back to you Bob... who knows, I am not really watching much of the game. I am just watching some of the commercials. I am pretty dissappointed with them so far. Not too special. I liked one of the first ones of the little boy dressed up as a super hero. Derick and I are rooting for the Cardinals (since they have never won a superbowl before). But it doesn't look like they are going to win :(
Today was really nice. Laura C came over and then we ran over to World Market ( since they are all closing in MN *tear*) and then over to Trader Joe's to get something for lunch. I bought one candle at World Market. Their stuff isn't marked down very much yet. We plan to go again later. We are pretty much shopping buddies that all began when we interned at Target together! Let's see, there was World Market, Trader Joe's, Ann Taylor Loft, Teavana and Ikea! We are also going to make an Ikea run later when we have more money.
Ugh, is it really Sunday already? As much as I love having a job right now, I don't like these Sunday nights realizing that I have to get up and go to work in the morning! I like my sleep and relaxing time at home, I mean, who doesn't?! Well, that's all for me, Derick and Tucker right now!

I hear ya on the sunday bit! They are always so bitter-sweet. Sweet because it's another day off, but bitter because you have Monday looming over your head all day! *sigh...I've been trying to get Paul open to the idea of moving south...Arkansas, Texas...anywhere as long as it's southern, really!
