The Tax Man is Cometh-ing

This is your friendly reminder to pay your taxes early and often today.

Explanation: Today is tax day! It's that special time of the year when the tax man comes down your chimney and takes presents out of the pockets of all the good little boys and girls. Ironically, the bad little boys and girls get to keep everything in their pockets, but will most likely face the music someday when they're appointed to Cabinet posts.

This is a great day for those of us who have already paid our taxes, and a terrible day for those of us who haven't. I happen to fall into the first camp, which is why I have time to write this blog entry instead of pulling my hair out in front of a pile of paperwork. Normally, I like to get my taxes done as early as possible, but Daddy's little tax deduction made that difficult this year. In fact, I probably still wouldn't have them done if it weren't for a well-timed three hour nap by said tax deduction on a Saturday morning - a rarity in our house.

If you have finished your taxes, join me in the celebration! If you haven't, what are you doing reading this? OK, fine, just file for an extension and join the party, too!
