Soup's On

We woke up to enough snow that hubby needed the snowblower. Something like 4" but it has been floating down on and off all day so who knows the amount?

After Jim shoveled out his dad's driveway, we went to the South Wood County Empty Bowls event – where $10 gets you a locally crafted pottery bowl, a bowl of soup from a local restaurant, and a dinner roll and yummy cookie. Also, for those who do that sort of thing (Me!) there were more than 100 raffle baskets.

We took our soup to go so we could deliver some to Jim's dad on our way home.

My Beer Cheese Soup from the Junkyard Bar and Grill was delicious! I did not win any raffle baskets. But maybe my luck is just waiting to change. Perhaps at BINGO tomorrow??

The rest of the day was major couch potato (or recliner potato) time. Watched the Badgers upset Purdue. Yeah, Bucky! Got all our tax stuff scanned for the Tax Man. Then I managed to get in two Hallmark movies with some leftover pizza in between. 

I was super lazy and owned it like a boss. And surprisingly, don't feel guilty about it. Very unlike me. I must be maturing! 😀

We'll see. Be careful out there!

So Taxing

I love when I overestimate my ability and underestimate the time it takes to compensate for lack of that ability.

In other words, I volunteered to do our boy's taxes. I mean what could be so hard about easy or EZ filing? Ugh.

Actually filing the federal part electronically was easy. And I did it for free. Bonus. But for some reason filing his Wisconsin ones electronically would not work on my computer. They kept alluding to some "submit" button that never appeared on the form.

So after a wasted hour of trying and resaving and reloading and ... reminding myself why I'm a writer, not a tax-istician, I gave up, printed it out and will mail it in.

At least Carter should get his federal refund sometime soon. They head to their new home in North Carolina tomorrow and it would be nice if they could buy a bed and kitchen table or at least one chair right away.

From now on, I best stick in my non-taxing lane... writing, photography, crocheting and trifles!
