Don't know how the 4:30am time stamp got there. I didn't get up til about 6:15 - 6:30 this morning. I worked on our taxes all day today so I was on and off the forums all day long. Something to ocassionally take my mind off numbers. Can't remember what time I actually posted here because my brain hurts and when I close my eyes all I see are numbers and letters; W-2's and 1099INT's and 1099DIV's and 1099B's.... Strange. HT I think your clock is broken.
ReplyDeleteI did our taxes today too!! :)
ReplyDeleteI actually did them last week, but had to wait to file the long form when the IRS could finally accept it this week, ( and refused to fool w/taxes on V-day or my B-day), so hit it today.
Anyway, glad to know you weren't up pacing floors at 4am. :)
