Rendering to Ceasar...
Tomorrow is tax day. True, it's not April 15, but tomorrow IS the day we go get our taxes done. Hopefully, we won't have so much complicated crap one year that we can just do it at home with TurboTax. But alas, we have a lot of complicated crap. Stacey had 4 employers this year. We had income from rent. We sold a house. Student loan interest. Health expenses. Commuting expenses. Spent most of the evening putting together a stack of papers that resembles the amount of paperwork present during a mortgage closing.
Now my head hurts.
In other news, we're loaning Dana the Expedition this week to help Lara move home. It's finally kinda hit me tonight that we're letting a friend take a vehicle of ours out of state for a week. Not that we'd do that sort of thing often, but in this case I'm glad we can help out (and even then I feel like we're barely scratching the surface when it comes to returning favors). But still...it does make me pray that she has no problems on the trip...with the car OR with other drivers' stupidity on the highways. I got in an accident in my own car just an hour from home once...and it rendered the car undriveable. What a headache that experience was towing that thing home ($Cha-ching$) from a remote spot on I-59 an hour north of Birmingham. (Side note: Nissan Pathfinders built ca. 1990 SUCK!).
Learned tonight that Jordan has the stomach bug. Ewwww....oh, please don't pass that one back to us. We've already had our fun with that one.
On the more 'relaxed' side of things, I got my Linksys wireless XBOX LAN thingy delivered last week. I'm going to take advantage of a couple of XBOX-live free trials and hook up with some friends online. (Chad, I hope you've learned to aim). A lot of my old friends may be scattered across the Southeast now, but we can still frag each other... If I can afford it (after tax day), I want to order this gizmo from lik-sang.com (hong kong) that lets gamers like me hook up a mouse and keyboard to the XBOX. Though I can use gamepads pretty well, being a PC gamer it's just easier to stick with ONE type of control setup if possible...
It's amazing how much a little arcade violence can bring friends together. W00t.
