I am so cool!  I calculated our taxes last week.  Today, I filed them electronically with only one charge of $7.95 for the electronic filing of Missouri taxes.  Also, the returns calculated by the online program came out to match my calculations.  Woo Hoo!  They claim the average turnaround for electronic filing with direct deposit is 8-16 days.  I am happily spending my money before I have it.

I called my mom to brag about how well I was saving money, and Miss Rebecca decided to pass three loud rounds of gas.  When I denied ownership, my mom said it was unfair of me to blame someone who can’t defend themself.  Clearly I need to be cautious about who I speak to on the phone when I have Rebecca nearby.
