Tax Time!

I used to HATE taxes. A lot. They were never easy and I never got anything back. For years I worked for a non-profit organization, so that was a bit complicated. Then I was a self-employed nanny - self employment tax is outrageous! And then my student loans made things a bit complicated. I always seemed to mess it up somehow. And did I mention that I never got anything back? The year that I finally worked at a normal job and taxes were going to be simple and I was actually going to get a refund, I discovered that I accidentally claimed too many dependents and I owed the government several hundred dollars. Foiled again!

This year, I finally got it right. I set it all up properly and everything was in line for taxes to be uncomplicated and actually pay off. Tax time was fun this year! I finally got a refund - YAY! I decided to treat myself to a new bedroom set. Over the last few years I have been slowly furnishing my apartment and getting rid of all the hand-me-down stuff that I had. My bedroom was the last thing to be done, mainly because nobody sees it but me. My inner designer was cringing at the "college-dorm" look that my room had and my 30+ body was starting to rebel at the cheap twin sized mattress that I got off of Craigslist six years ago.

So here it is, my lovely new bedroom. I am now enjoying a few perks of the single life. 1) Being able to pick out anything I wanted for my room without worrying about it being too girly or whatever. 2) Having an amazingly comfortable queen sized bed all to myself. If I ever get married I will have to retrain myself to share I suppose, but I will worry about that then. Right now, I plan to sprawl. And the last few nights in my new bed have been amazing! I love pampering myself. :)
