Ha Ha Ha! I am so glad to be getting a break this year. I do not miss that garbage! I'm sad you ruined our fun movie night with tax crap. Hope you had pleasant Leo dreams like me. Sigh!

Hilarious, Jenny. I'll make sure to clean all the food off our W2's before I bring them in. ;-)

Lol. Sounds very exciting. I was just listening to someone the other day talk about some things they were planning to deduct that clearly did not qualify.

Good thing you're getting a vacation as soon as tax season is over. :) Can't wait.
