Conversation I overheard:
Dad: Don't wipe your nose on your shirt.
Princess: But if I leave it on my finger it would be gross!
Don't you just love kids? They are awesome!!

Tax Return Surprise
We filed our federal taxes online this year at the government site. It worked out easily and we got the check quickly.
BUT, when a tax return comes back $1500 more than you filed for, you get a little worried. You want to be excited, but you think that there HAS to be a problem. We were going to call when they were open again, but before that CM checked the status page online and there was a message that said there were errors and the money was ours!
So, we got a new TV. We got one that isn't too big. We don't like to have the TV be the center of our lives and house. We haven't had a new TV in about 6 years, so we thought it was a good idea.
We're going to put the same amount or more on our debt that we were planning, but now we can watch TV without trying to figure out what's going on in the dark! (It was really going dark and a lot of shows/movies like to do things at night!)

Long Time No Post
Sorry about the lapse in posts. I had something interesting to write about and I only just remembered what it was as I was typing this sentence!
For the past few weeks, as I have been driving Indy to his karate class, there are several vehicles on the side of the road. All of the people are staring at the mountain. Some have binoculars, one had a camera. I tried to see what they were all looking at. I was driving 55 MPH, so I couldn't really see it. All I can guess is that it is some kind of animal. But, why would that draw so many people for so long? Maybe it's some "religious" group waiting for the Giant Spaghetti Monster to fly out of the mountain!
Any guesses?
