When did I become one of the evil rich?

Oh my god. I owe the state $400 and the feds $200. How the hell did that happen? I had my withholding set so it should end up as zero or a small, small refund. Crapola.

Watching Caprica right now. They’ve had to edit it some from the DVD version since SyFy is on basic cable across most of the country. No big deal though, the main story parts shouldn’t be affected.

I am in serious need of snuggles right now, wish there was some way to contact Belle that wouldn’t cause problems. Critter might be good for some friendly snuggling if she wasn’t busy dropping the kids off everywhere. Oh well.

I have pretty well wasted today on television and Facebook. What the hell. On the upside I haven’t eaten much either, so maybe it’ll all balance out.

Hmmmm. Got a text from my dad saying to turn *everything* off at the cabin next time I’m up there. The power bill was over $200 and there was no one staying there. I only did laundry once. It must have been the HVAC. I’ll kill the breakers to the outside unit and the inside blower next time I’m up there, possibly tomorrow. Maybe tonight, I don’t know. The HVAC is set to keep the cabin between 50 and 90, but with the past few weeks bringing near record lows for such an extended period of time it was probably running more than they planned.

Gonna go now…

We end up owing taxes every year, and I can’t figure out why. I think our accountant is too honest! We own a home, have two children…everyone else I know in the same situation gets thousands in refunds every year, and we end up paying….it’s not right.

Electric is killing me too. I have my “heat” set to 58. Now that I’m divorced & have to pay it myself, I am more careful. Hope you found someone to snuggle.

I’m worried about my taxes too. Obama cut down on the payroll taxes so we could get more money in our paychecks in 2009. Now I wonder if I’ll get much of a refund.
