I try not to hate anything... but the IRS, well, it's a very strong dislike.  Not for any individual that works there, but the concept in general.  Doing taxes makes me physically ill.  I usually start off the year doing my first quarterly stuff the first day I get the form and promise myself I will continue.  But by the time it's January of the following year and I'm going all that year end stuff... the Annual 1099s and w2s and GA Annual Tax Report and the Federal Unempoyment tax forms for my company I do it... everytime... I put it off until the last day it can be postmarked. 

THAT WAS TODAY!

I spent much of the day sweating over dotting i's and crossing t's.  I missed getting it all in the mailbox prior to my rural route mail carrier driving by so when I finally finished I had to drive to the post office and drop them all of to get today's postmark on them.  But I felt that sense of relief when the stack left my hand.  That "DAY" is usually February 28th or 29th, but since it was a Sunday taxes actually spilled over into March for me this year. 

Now of course I can move on, back to the business of being a broker and not a bookkeeper (by the way, did you know that's the only word in the English language with three double letters in a row?).  Over the last week I got 3 new listings and my company got an additional 7.  I market all of our listings so I have been swamped getting all of them properly advertised. 

And being a good wife, I really have GOT to spend part of tomorrow on My Donald.  It's his birthday and I've got to get the cake baked and do some last minute shopping.  Do you have the problem of your spouse buying themselves everything they need and want you not knowing WHAT to get them?  Donald brought home his "happy birthday to me" present on Friday.  It was another gun.  I have no idea what kind.  But I do know that when it warms up a bit I'm going to get him to take me to the range with him to learn how to load and fire it.  I'm not going to have a gun in my house that I don't know how to use.

So, friends, any ideas on what to get the man who has everything he needs and wants for his birthday?

Yep.  A good spa massage.  Everyone can do with that.  And then a lovely dinner out.  That would be my suggestion.

I always feel anxiety during tax time until they are finished.  Like Lenn, there were a few years when I was so busy in the spring, that I filed extensions.  But it also extended a certain amount of anxiety along with it!

Hi Tammy, I never like tax time, except for the "olden days" when I knew I would be getting a refund.  Congratulations on getting everything done!  As for the birthday how about a weekend getaway?

Jane- A local spa just began to allow couples... that's a great idea.

Lenn- MY FY ends 6/30 so my corp extention is until the 15th of this month (so I'm really not done, but today I mailed off the 1099s and w2s to the goverment and of course my FUTA.

Myrl- I hate that anxiety too.  I vote for Fair Tax and let's be done with it.

Mary- sounds good, but would take weeks of planning.  He isn't off weekends and well... lately seems like I can't leave the office much either.  And spur of the moment doesn't work because we have to plan for the zoo we host in our house.  Maybe I can get Abigail to take care of the pups for a day and we can have a fun day trip...

Hi Tammy ~ As the daughter of a CPA April 15th has always been a holiday of sorts in my family. I love the  close to midnight runs to the post office. When I lived in Connecticut they even had entertainment for the people in line.  And the Cambridge post office is always packed with fellow procrastinators.  But I'm with Lenn - the extension on April 15th, and then I look forward to October 15th to file - a minor holiday but a holiday nonetheless.

Sheldon- Should have known you would know. :)

Rebecca- Seriously?  Oh my gosh.  I used to be one of those organized people.

Liz- that what's my mom did too, but she has never been in line before midnight.  If it was to the post office by 5, too darn bad.

Tammy ~ Oh my, we must be kindred spirits.  I too, get all worked up having to do taxes.  Just gearing up makes me ill.  But, on another note, you are the only other woman I know (besides myself) who has received a gun as a birthday present! OMG, LOL!  As for him... I would say, buy him some bullets for his B'Day so he can take you to the shooting range!

Melinda- One year I got him a log splitter, one year a chain saw.  And you know that saying about taking the boy out of the city, but not the city out of the boy, well that ain't true.  He's "converted" fully.  And has MORE than enough ammo to ... have a war.

Tammy....I know the tax stuff is a real drag.  Thankfully my husband takes care of all of it - Corporate, LLC and Personal - and when it comes back from the CPA I just sign.  I really have it good. lol  - Happy birthday to Donald.

Carra- Funny, that's my Donald's job at our house with taxes.  He puts his W-2 on the frig and then just signs the return when I bring it home to him.
