3-2-1 day
Okay, so it's not as glamorous as Pi day. I'm a bit behind. Perhaps I should add an....'of course'...to that.
Birthday!
Okay guys, apparently I am the most clueless and gullible person on the planet. You would not have to try hard to get one over on me. At least, that's what I've come to realize aftermegansmommy and chioubacca teamed up to get me out of the house so my birthday could become the surprise variety. It was really awesome to see a lot of old friends like Yoni and Aaron, and I'd just been lamenting a few weeks earlier that it had been a long time since I'd gotten to see pi216 or wattage. The whole thing was really cool though, and save for a little intrafamily flap, I think everyone had a great time.
It's the most wonderful time of the year!
Yes, it's tax time again. You know, for the first time in my life, we will actually be paying federal taxes back. I guess it came as somewhat of an initial shock to me, but considering our housing mess last year we didn't have quite the deductions we've had in the past. In all, I think it's going to be about $2k that we'll pay, which after the initial shock of payment, wasn't all that bad. For the record, it didn't diminish my love for doing our taxes just because we have to pay this time. Sometime in the next week I'll get to do two more sets of taxes, and then it'll be a whole year before 2nd Christmas comes again.
Man, I love crunching numbers.
Anything else?
Well, I think a lot of my day to day rotuines have been fairly mundane recently. However, it's pretty easy for things to be mundane when the kids are doing well, life with Lissa is like a dream, and our house is really coming together. I don't think my stress levels have been this low in years. It feels good - I'd like to keep that up, okay?
It must be because I turned 30, but I've been feeling very nostalgic at times now. Lissa and I have both been talking about our pasts and falling out of touch with friends. It wasn't my new year's resolution, but I'm thinking that belatedly I want to try to reach out and get back in touch with my favorite people from high school and college. I've been VERY tempted to get a facebook and myspace pages. I think it would be fun, but the tradeoff will be giving up a bit of the internet anonymity I've cultivated. Then again, who am I kidding? It's hard to have any anonymity when there's only one Wyrrlen out there in the world. So I guess I should just go ahead and do it.
