That giant sucking sound...

is me working on our taxes.  Finally!

Ok - it won't be as bad as I ever think it will be (except for the year my hubby double-counted our income and I wondered how in he** we made so much money, or the year he added his W2's in with his business income which created a semi-doubling of the income, but luckily, the bookkeeper caught that one - it necessitated filing a amended return, or the  year he morphed the PayPal account with the bank account in one big blob on Quicken - which is not exactly the definition of "double entry" bookkeeping, or - oh never mind.)

Understand this - I'm the girl who never could master her multiplication tables (really) and he understands logarithms (logo-whats??)   To his credit, he gets a bit better each year, and I have learned to anticipate the strange goings-on.  I mean, how bad can it really be if we're still happily (outside of tax season) married after 33 years?   

Meantime: 

I'm pleased to know that our current president will be spending some quality time with one of his home-boys people BFF, the Rev. Al Sharpton, race-baiter extraordinaire,
A couple of race-baiters enjoying quality bonding time.  Too cute by half.
but not before visiting a Spanish owned wind-turbine plant in Pennsylvania. I can't wait until we run our country on windmills. 

Our future energy source

In other very important news, it appears the police had to pepper spray an out of control 8-year old who was threatening to kill his teacher.  It was reported he was working on his taxes when the violent assault occurred.

Bob Belvedere tells us to "put on our big people panties and get real about how we live." except he says it much nicer than I did. 
and
MOTUS, in all her refractive glory, sums up the entire budget problem. 


I'm sure there's much more but the calculator calls. 


As Always: Play nice while I'm gone, use your indoor voices, and keep the sand in the sandbox!

P.S. I have removed comment moderation.  If my ugly, vile, and very ignorant troll shows up, please kick his/her a** for me.  Thank you.

I came here for the post but I'll come back for a chance to tear up a troll!

Priscilla said...

I love trolls, they just prove I'm RIGHT! (that's right - RIGHT, as in wing and proud of it)

Terry Nelson said...

Is that Sherri Shepherd in that photo with Obama?

Larry Denninger said...

Terry - I think it's Wendy Williams.

Adrienne said...

Mare - if anyone could kick troll ass, it would be you. I'll bring the popcorn...

Adrienne said...

Priscilla - I'll share my popcorn when Zilla/Mare kicks the troll's ass...

Bob Belvedere said...

-While I think Depends are a great invention, I have not endorsed their use.

-Thanks for the linky love.

-It costs us $425 to have our taxes done which requires a bit of sacrifice, but is worth every minute of not getting aggrivated.

-BTW: That giant sucking sound may be the hope being sucked out of the change.

Adrienne said...

Terry and Larry, actually it looks like Lady Moo when she's wearing her "my wighat is at the cleaners slicked back tiny dog turd in the back" hair-do - otherwise known as the Al Sharpton-do.

Matt said...

Tax time is rough on everyone. Hopefully, both of you survive.

Wilson said...

LOL. U r so stuuuupid!! "I'm the girl who never could master her multiplication tables (really) and he understands logarithms (logo-whats??)"

Multiplication is second grade math. SECOND GRADE!! Logarithms is 8th grade math.

If Sarah Palin is stupid. U R a thousand times stupider.

Blue said...

Adrienne.... Is Wilson your troll?

Adrienne said...

Blue - that would be an affirmative. Uses lots of different name but the location and message is the same (usually much worse language.)

I think "it" only comes around ever so often when they take off the straight jacket for recreation.

Adrienne said...

Bob - Oh dear - I don't "do" my taxes. I just gather up all the figures in a neat little pile for our bookkeeper. I would never do my own taxes - actually - I doubt I could.

Adrienne said...

Matt - it went swimmingly! We're still happily married.

uncle jim said...

i thought you were lost, but i see you are not - rather it is i who was lost ... but now i am found ... at least for tonight. come tomorrow who knows where we'll all be.

Blue said...

I just wondered. She sounds like a 6th grader trying to talk all grown up to an adult. (and not succeeding:)

She isn't very polite, nor is she very respectful.

Kids these days....

Adrienne said...

Uncle Jim - I've been here all along. You're the one who hasn't posted in exactly one year and one month.

I miss you!

Adrienne said...

Blue - I really don't care as long as it keeps it's language clean...

MOTUS said...

Hey Adrienne, thanks for the linky!

I've had my share of slimy trolls too. I think normal people understand them and aren't offended if their vile hate filled comments appear until the webmaster smites them into the dark ether they came from. We all love you and stand with you.

Cocerning the kid that went beserk...let Caesar teach your children, you wind up with Romans.

The kid needs a good ass whipping, and the mother needs to voluntarily stop breeding until she gets some emergency catechism class and a minor exorcism.
