behind the eight ball...

actually I am behind all the balls these days. i need a vacation to catch up.... ugh...
remember the magic eight ball? you could ask it all your most important questions and it would magically answer something like "it is not likely."
So magic eight ball, will I ever feel caught up? "the future is unclear, ask again later."

The Tax Man is my nemesis

Ugh... thank goodness

We often come back around to the discussion that goes something like this: " we make more money than a lot of people around us, how 'come we never have any money?"
I have a feeling we will continue to have this conversation for some time... thanks uncle sam.

76

Two days ago was my grandmother's seventy-third birthday. I sent her flowers, wanted her to know I was thinking of her and how important she is to me. I can never remember if her address ends in lane or drive, so i decided to look it up. googlemaps and mapquest had no such address so I figured I would just google her to see if the sales announcement for her house was listed... nothing... but I did find her on a website called peoplefinder.com. It listed her as living in Merrimack, NH and aged 73. but then it had two little names next to hers (possible relations): Dana age 76 and Julie age 56. weird. dana was my grandfather who passed away almost 20 years ago, at the age of 57. it was so weird to see that he would be 76 if he were still alive and that according to some database somewhere he is 76. What would he be like at 76?
