Carving, Taxes, and Friendship

Costume plans are coming together for the annual Spooktacular Pumpkin Carving party. As ya'll remember from "ghosts of years past" its' a BYOP (bring your own pumpkin) This year we're rockin' the "kid friendly" version, so that my friends and co-workers with kids should bring them along if the spirit moves you. Mulled apple cider, goodies and other such fare will be offered for noshing. Also, there are prizes for best costume, best pumpkin and best non-costume (i.e. the lovely popularity contest...) And of course, because costumes are option, best non-costume usually is a tough crowd, so accordingly and come prepared to bribe.

In other news, life, as I know it, just got more interesting, as it tends to when you're juggling jobs and a social life...more on that later though, as nothing's for sure...

oh and apparently part of that $700 billion dollar bill that passed Congress (and no a $700 billion dollar bill does not exist --who would you expect to see on that paper? Most of the really good presidents have already got their coinage...hmm...answers accepted here...Who would you like to see on a $700 billion dollar bill?
Regardless, there's a little add-on for those of us in flood ravaged Iowa...some sort of tax benefit write-off dealio---I'd simply like to not have to pay tax on the money FEMA gave us, but I think I'll have to claim it as "earnings" ---really not sure about that one...I had the UI folks do it last year cause it was easy with no stocks and three pay stubs...this year might be more complicated with flood money...who knows....anyways, that's the current update.
Pete...if you still read this blog, you should call me so we can catch up, it's been too long Mister.
