Perm

I'm biting the bullet and getting a perm today. I have been wanting one for quite awhile and keep putting it off because of money...well, the lack of. We still have some of the tax return hanging out in our bank acct and I figure if I don't do it now..I'll have missed my window of opportunity. So at 12:00 today I'm going for it.

I am going to BoRics because it's so much cheaper than other places...I hope I don't regret it. The good thing is...I'm not really looking for a style...I gave up on style a few years ago. LOL My hair is always twisted up and secured with a clip with the ends sticking out...with a perm, the ends will be curly and look a little less ugly-that's the plan anyway. So, as long as I end up with curly ends and unfried roots. I'll be happy.

Tax Return

I know that next year I will be looking for this info...because I was looking for it THIS year. LOL I filed my taxes on 2/2 and it was direct deposited 2/16 and by 2/23 it was pretty much gone...at least spoken for. (that's what being poor all year will do for ya!) Money goes WAY too fast..I know that! But we have all been spoiled by it...so life is good. :-)

Come ON already!!

I am SO anxious for our tax return to get here. I am making lists and researching and driving myself nuts, honestly. I swear I visit the IRS 5 times a day to check the status. LOL I just want it to get here so I can buy the few big things we are getting and then figure out the best way to use the rest of it. I was really really hoping it would be deposited yesterday..based on the time it took for last year's return..but no. Darn! Hopefully this coming week...I *think* they only deposit on Fridays though. I just want it NOW. I know..I have no patience!

Spending Tax Return $ Wisely

I filed our taxes on Friday and am already making big plans for it.

I have no plans to save it and I think my tentative plans for using some it for an awesome vacation have been put on the back burner.

Truth is, we really need to take care of some stuff around our house...buy some things to make our day to day life a little easier/better etc.

For one thing I really really need to look at home office chairs and purchase one. Mine is AWFUL..and since I am working so many hours a week now, I really need to get a new one. In the last couple of weeks I have been in a lot of pain in my neck and upper back..and I KNOW the chair has something to do with it.

So..I am in a search for that...and while I'm looking for that..I think I am going to look at Bunk Beds for the boys..their beds take up so much room and I really like having them in one room and the play room in the other.

There are so many sites out there to look at for this kind of stuff but I have found some really great furniture of ALL kinds at great priced furniture.com. It is so fun to look at all the different kinds of furniture and get ideas (and dream) about what I would like to have in my house.

So, if I'm scarce...it's because I am lusting over furniture somewhere!! *wink*
