Oops, I did it again.

[judecorp]

Well, I made it to the gym again! Nothing big this time, just 2 miles on the treadmill at a speed-walky pace, then weights for legs, then some crunches. If I can keep this up, I'll be buff in no time!

I was on the phone with my father a while ago to get tax information, and he said I should just pick up rowing again. (I wish, if I could manage the 5AM mornings and the boathouse fees!) He said, and I quote, "You should do that rowing again. You were a real Amazon." RAWR. Those were the days. I miss being studly.

I navigated a trip to the grocery store and successfully avoided all of the bad foods except for the chips that are for the Superbowl tomorrow. How sad. There are no delicious fattening snackies in our home. Sad sad sad. I do love me some fattening snackies.

I did my taxes tonight and I will be getting about $500 back. That's not too shabby! I'm all stupid excited because next year My Jennifer and I can file a joint return in Massachusetts. Woo-hah! (The plan is to get a marriage license soon and then maybe try to run off to P-town for a weekend to get "destination hitched." We'll see.) I'm such a dork sometimes.

Fuckit. I'm watching for the commercials.

I pretty much only watch the commercials. I don't really like football. It's just an excuse for me to cheat on my whole "healthy eating" plan! :) PIZZA HERE I COME!

Hopefully you won't have the marriage penalty to suffer through :-)

[juliann.livejournal.com]

I thought only people with moolah got hit with that? :)

Until recently we got a marriage bonus in the UK -- £15 a month, wheee. Total, not per person. But as he's not a US citizen and we don't (yet) live in the Us all of my US tax returns have been separate. But now that I am permanently unable to hold down a decent job, I plan to never file tax returns again ;) Unless we win the lottery!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, the marriage penalty kind of hits everyone here in the US because combining 2 incomes pushes you into a higher bracket... if you only had 1 income, being able to file jointly would totally help!

Maybe next year we'll have other crazy things we can deduct, like house payments and adoption or something. That would be fun! (Although we'll still have to file Single for the Feds, so that's going to be confusing.)

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

Well, they don't call MA "Taxachusetts" for nothing - taxes are pretty high here and that's totally cool with me, since I'm really a big scary socialist. ;)

I'm sure we'll get socked a little bit because combining income will push us into a higher tax bracket. And since we'll still have to file "Single" for the Feds, we'll have to declare "Single" as our withholding from our paychecks... so we're guaranteed to get socked on the state level in the end.

Stupid Bush.

Sounds like a great plan for the year! Enjoy! :-)

Thanks, you too!

Get married around July or early August and we can be your special guest stars ;) My crushed velvet tye dyed dragon is an ordained minister from .. well that place that ordains anyone over the internet. He's done two weddings already!

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

My cat Daedalus is also a minister in the Universal Life Church (that's the Internet one) - they cuold do it together!

We're planning to just go ahead and do the legal thing sometime soon but then try to plan some sort of party. I don't know when it will be, but if it happens to be when you are out of the country, we could just happen to throw /another/ party when you are stateside!

I broke down and bought me some fattening snakies yesterday. We have outlawed them here too. I bought deli cookies.....with pink iceing....and....they.....are....delicous

[judecorp.livejournal.com]

OMG now I want me some deli cookies! Everyone knows that today is the day of CRAP EATING, so maybe I will make some cookies to go along with the chips, dip, salsa, pizza, wings, and beer we will have here.

OINK!!
