Thanks for the $522.78

I did my taxes tonight.

You may have asked, "Why the rush, Miss E? You have until mid-April for all this nonsense!" Actually, I was prompted by the notice of the priorty deadline for student financial aid that was TODAY. I will be a good student and get that completed over the weekend. But first things first: You have to have your federal taxes done and filed before you can complete the student financial aid stuff.

The feds will pay me back $522.78 and the Commonwealth of CA will hand over $114.83. This is the grand total of $642.61. Good golly. I could buy something nice with that. But I won't most likely. It will go to buy my ass groceries and other expendables not worth mentioning here.

Be good and diligent and get your taxes done today. The faster you do them, the faster you get your money, and the less the government earns in interest on holding your tax dollars. Here's to all you tax payers out there, may your refunds be larger than $642.61.
