Unexpected from the IRS

Posted on April 29th, 2006 in Personal by Vegan Momma

Guess what, I received a check in the mail from the State of Maryland yesterday. It seems I had overpaid my taxes by $157.76. I owed a little over 8k, bah. I wasn’t overjoyed but I did pay. :-) The IRS is one organization you don’t want to mess with. They always receive high priority, from me, during tax times.

What did I do with the overpayment? I hopped back in the car and deposited it in my local bank. The bank is about five minutes away.

I wish part of my money did not go to Social Insecurity (I mean Security) I can manage my money better than the GOVERNMENT anyday!

Busy Week

Posted on April 29th, 2006 in Personal by Vegan Momma

If you have been reading my blog for any length of time you know I recently made the transition to smaller non-profit agency. Counting myself the grand total of our staff is 11, full-time staff is a total of six. I really enjoy working here, even if I did take a huge dive in pay. The past few weeks have been busy preparing for a conference that will be held tomorrow. Since we are a small staff everyone wears many hats.

Work has been extremely busy. We have a big event today. It’s near Washington, D.C. which means I have a little hike. I have been preparing for several weeks. Of course I’m awake I’m an early riser. I thought I would have PLENTY of time to meditate, reflect, intensity picks. I will be leaving the house around 7:00. The event starts at 9:00, but I need to be there to set up. Well guess what? My little sidekick is up and ready to start the day, lol. Oh well the only thing I really need to do put the clothes on, hop into the car, and go.
