My father’s daughter

I just filed my 2006 tax return. Nyah nyah. Note: This is an excellent defense against Rob and my ever getting married. Last year he had to get an extension for his taxes. I can’t begin to imagine what it would be like to actually combine our finances. (Shudder.)

He went home and discovered he did not and he wanted it. Wouldn’t it be neat to get it for him for Christmas, IContinue reading “Element of surprise”
