taxes...done!

so i stayed up till the wee hours of Wednesday morning trying to complete our tax returns. finished up state returns later that morning and both federal and state returns were in the mail by afternoon of the 11th. after paying penalty and interest because we filed for an extension last year, i vowed i would get our taxes in on time this year. no more "charitable contributions" to the IRS!

this morning, Dave treated me to pancakes for breakfast, his "secret" recipe, as he put it, of oatmeal pancakes. yum! then for lunch, we went to Hobees and dessert at Cold Stone Creamery. that was my reward for doing our taxes.
