david and i are finally talking again ... which makes me happy ...

but i just paid my taxes ... which makes me sad ...

I owed 376 dollars which seems like a lot for someone who was laid off because of September 11th and who has been unemployeed since ... i sure do pay a lot of taxes on my unemployment checks ... all seems pretty crazy to me ... i did obtain my goal of not getting a refund ... since the student loan sharks would take it all ... i didn't want them to get the satisfaction of getting my rebate ... so owning is better than getting nothing ... :)
