Thoughts from the Archangel

So, I might be the High Priestess of Procrastination, but I hateto put off the really important things.  Like doing my taxes.  I don’t know, but I think it’s because there’s actually a penalty ($$$) if you’re late, and I’m not paying the government one more penny than I absolutely have to.  (Un)Fortunately, I am not the accountant in the house.  The DH takes care of the money stuff, mostly because he’s totally anal-retentive and hates the way I do it.  It’s fine with me.

Of course, he waits until last night to submit our state taxes.  He’s already had it calculated, and since we owe about $100, they aren’t getting our money any earlier than necessary.  Normally, I’m okay with that.  Last night, though, it was 6.5 hours of pure hell listening/watching him wrestle with the e-file system that was bogged down from everyone else trying to submit at the last minute.  Then, because Murphy’s Law works, the DSL went down and he couldn’t get the confirmation that it actually went through.  He was pissed and I was pissed at him for the tantrum he decided to throw.  Not a good night.

However, in an ‘all’s well that ends well’ theme, he was able to get in this morning with the repaired DSL and confirm that it was sucessfully submitted last night – at 11:59pm.  Really.  He swears next year that he’ll be doing the paper forms again.

In way less gripe-y things, Spring has re-sprung here in the Circle City.  It’s a beautiful day outside, and that brings out the folks.  In my lovely walk to get lunch, several opportunities for ogling behind sunglasses presented themselves, notably two firefighters, a cop, and a man in a 3-piece suit (yum!).  Even better was the super cutie working behind the counter at Subway…I’ve scoped him out before, but I will not refuse repeat opportunities to check out hot guys.

Since I haven’t done one in a while, here’s a Good, Bad, Ugly, and Funny:

Good:  I have a short day today and tomorrow off, and I plan on enjoying them for all they’re worth.  Ogleworthy guys and sunglasses to hide behind.

Bad:  Just as the weekend arrives, so does the rain.

Ugly:  I just spent 30 minutes listening to the RFAC go on and on about how her boyfriend wasn’t allowed to pick out an engagement ring for her and now the one that she wants is on layaway because she just knows that they’re going to get married and they’re going to live by her mom and they’re blah blah blah blah blah blah…

Funny:  I walked around all morning with a big, fat grin – more than one person asked what I was up to.  I love that game. 

Hot Guy Pic!

I was inspired by a couple of guys (from the fire station across the street) I saw running earlier…

Because heroism and turnout gear are HOT. (Photo: hooversbiz.com)
