Taxes and Cookies

Friday, February 15, 2013

Yep, I opened this entry or my blog with a picture of an open container of Girl Scout Cookies.  I have justified that I deserve them today because I finished our taxes this morning.  My eyes are bugging out of my head and I am seeing visions of little dancing numbers in my head.  I am notorious for waiting until the last moment to file just because I hate oing it.  I always get a return but it's just so tedious to collect all the information and get it entered and submittedl.  So happy that I got it in early this year.  Now I can start planning what bills will get paid off with it.  Sigh...

The one thing I will be getting with a little bit of it is new shoes.  Mine are definitely a problem.  They are too old and a bit wore down.  I believe that is contributing to my knee discomfort.  I will be excited to get them soon. 

Yesterday, ,my day was a little backwards so I had to run early in the morning.  I usually only do that in the summer months.  When A.  it is warmer and B.  it is lighter outside.  However, an interesting thing was discovered yesterday.  It much less windy sometimes in the early morning and so the cold doesn't feel quite as cold.  I felt good for the whole short run.  I have only 10 miles to get in this weekend and am seriously considering getting it in tomorrow morning early.  It's gonna be cold but it still won't be as windy as it might be later in the day.  Plus, it will be out of the way for the rest of the weekend too.  It could make the rest of my weekend go a little smoother since my son has his Cub Scout banquet Sunday and I have 2 yoga classes to teach this weekend.  Getting my run in early will give me an opportunity to be manage my time this weekend. 

My knee felt a lot better on yesterday's run.  I am looking forward to my 10 miles this weekend.  10 miles is far enough to be challenging but not so far that it will interfere with my whole weekend.  Now that my interview is over though I will have nothing to obsess over while I run.  What will I do for 2 hours?  I need something!

One more antidote about my week.  Last night my husband and I went out to dinner to celebrate Valentine's Day. He gave me a card with a beautiful sentiment on it except for the fact that it was "from my wife..."  Blahahahaha!  I cracked up that when he read it he must have thought that it read "to my wife" instead of "from my wife"  I lovingly and laughingly crossed out wife and wrote husband on it with a Sharpie and we had a little laugh over it.  I love his effort.  He knows who much cards mean to me and he never fails to get one with a perfect message.  I am so grateful to be married to my best friend.
