Took the afternoon to work on my taxes. Glad I did, hopefully beating half of the US population to the punch! Plus, I dont have to look at the stack of paperwork every time I sit at the computer. How are you spending your refund? Saving? ...

I've joined the Facebook craze. I have a profile, I update it, I tell people what is on my mind, what I am doing. I have friends, even one from high school.
