Today I am off work, I have two boxes of Thin Mints, and my friend Merry just sent me ham and a kite in the mail- it's going to be a good day. My goal for the next 12 hours- organize random stack of papers laying on the floor, grocery shop and fill the fridge in our new apt. for the first time, job hunt, and write anything--or else my head is going to explode with concerns, to dos, and thoughts.

I did just finish my taxes and feel very good about that. I have used Tax Act on-line for the last two years and it works well for me. Since I'm not married yet, don't really own anything or make any money, mine are simple enough. With this years tax money Joseph and I are going to up-grade our fun size tv for a-- you can see it across the room tv. Then...paying off debt.

Tara and Joseph went skiing together the other day at Keystone. It sounds like they did pretty well and now Joseph is Mr. Lets Get Leah on the Slopes. But first- to the post, the grocery...

It was wonderful to see family when we went back home for my Grandpa's memorial service. The service was a great picture of Grandpa and I am so thankful that I got to be there for it. The day before-our family all in Grams' front room going through pictures, typing memories and printing 150 handouts one at a time in shifts at the computer--it was such a strange mix of good humor and serious family business. Grams was the picture of strength and being with her made me feel better.
