Cutest Thing Ever Part 2

"OH MY GOODNESS!"

D day

We sign the papers today making everything official, pray it goes smoothly and without interruption.

That is all.

Tax problems

So I tried doing my taxes online myself (aka with Larry's help as I asked questions every 20 seconds) and after entering all of my information it said my return should be around $1300. I've never had such a low return in my entire life, even when I was 16. So I thought okay I must be doing something wrong and sent mine and Adams return in to the woman who usually does our taxes. She comes back and tells us that filing together would equal an amount even lower than my filing by myself.

I'm pretty sure she's currently a crack baby. I mean wtf? She is claiming that Adam would have to pay $1700 in back taxes if he files by himself (to which she added in an email "I don't see how that's fair to him if you do decide to file separately", to which my internal reply was riddled with curse words I don't say out loud, being a lady and all).
Adam and I spoke at length about this, he's not making any more or less money than 5-6 years ago before he was married and he was receiving like 2-3K back each year.

So what I want to know is, is this President Bush's fault or President Obama's? That punk President Obama owes me about $1k extra according to his fancy ass-backwards calculator that I have screen shots of to prove Mr, don't think I've forgotten about that because I haven't.

I know IANO favors it being Bush's fault, but what do the rest of the masses have to say?

Get ready to be excited!!

I was finally able to catch Ava reading one of her favourite Spot books. This is the cutest thing in the world, I just love when she reads this book to me.

Backyard Makeovers!

So while I was down in Florida Larry unfortunately had to work. So what was a girl to do? Read a book? Drink fruity drinks out of a coconut? Lay in the sun? Naww I completely redid the entire back yard. Well it needed it!! Plus I have a hard time relaxing it's a gift or curse I haven't completely decided.

Here's before:



After lugging about 25-30 loads of pine needles out of the back I arranged them hap-hazardly in the front.



Here's a picture of the back with all of the pine needles in the front and the timbers ripped up:



I found a turtle while ripping the timbers up!



And here's the finished product! We planted knockout roses and azalea's in the L Larry dug when he moved in.



We planted Indian Hawthorn and Sky Pencil's in the back and laid out cypress.




All in all I'm pretty proud I was able to accomplish so much in a week. I seriously don't think I've ever sweat so much in my entire life. It wasn't even that warm!!

I'm devestated to leave, and have warned Larry that should I ever see so much as a weed in my beautiful backyard I'll have his head on a platter!

Sillyness!

Ava has some sweet shoes!

My apologies for the shakyness! Enjoy I probably won't post until I come back from Florida!
