Two weeks and no activity.  Shame, shame. Things have been crazy crazy at work and updating is the first thing that goes.  Circumstances have calmed down a bit now, so let’s get back in the groove, shall we?

Updates

That Damn Wagon.  Carmax offered us a less than satisfactory offer for the wagon. Can’t say I am suprised.  My task for this week is to get it listed on my local mother’s board.  Hopfully it will get a hit there and I can avoid the whole Craigslist nightmare.

Taxes.  We got our federal return.  I really wanted to blizzard the whole shebang, but after much discussion with the spouse we have decided to get an estimate on new kitchen flooring.  Just vinyl, nothing fancy.  This is something we meant to do when we moved in (the current flooring is an ugly combination of so-worn-its-completely-discolored-in-spots parquet and so-cheap-it-has-grooves-worn-in-it-from-walking pine.  I personally could have lived with it a while longer, but I think it is probably the right decision.   It is depressingly bad the way it is now, and our cats are not getting any younger, and they are doing a number on the hardwood.  Vinyl will help with that issue.  It’s also something that would absolutely HAVE to de done were we to ever put the house on the market, so it seems prudent to do it now while we have the resources. Hopefully the estimate will come in under the return amount and I can snowflake the rest, as well as the entire state return. 

  Other than that, not much to report.  Had an unexpectedly high doctor bill this month, so not much snowflaking going on this 2 weeks.  Still pondering other pathways of income.  Still no word on Mr. Blizzard’s summer job, but we should hear something soon.
