I have this image of myself as fairly with it, not a serial procrastinator, I like dispensing with my obligations as soon as I can. I am also financially savvy enough to know it is easier to pay your bills on time and not get in trouble with anyone than to make magic pennies on the last hour of interest accrued. My feeling is that if you don't get a tax refund you've done something wrong. Keep this in mind when I tell you that our mid-March project got pushed back a bit due to unforeseen circumstances (and a dose of sloth).
A pit in my stomach reminded me that we had yet to file our 2009 taxes, and that the window was closing fast. Fortunately, my dear husband was able to feed Turbo Tax while I was in ceramics class, but he stopped short of actually filing. Why? Because the amount of money we owed AGAIN this year was too much for him to part with without a moment of silence. Unfortunately, my HR department refuses to give me any information that might be misconstrued as advice, and his HR department seems to to think he should be square, so it is unclear how we have arrived at such a clear discrepancy. *grumble grumble* But, it is in and filed, and I don't want to think about it for another 12 months (even though I really ought to sort out how Uncle Sam let me borrow a whole extra paycheck for the year).
In other news, I am back to ceramics! This is going to be another wood firing class, but mostly I am just happy to be throwing pots again. It is nice to play with something you can mess up, or do really awesome at and feel equally good about. I have another 5 weeks to make stuff to take to the kiln in May, so if anyone has requests for sturdy ceramics that will be done over in an earthy ash glaze, let me know! (I could point you to pictures if that would help)
