Happenings and whatnot

Jake and I decided to wait until the last day (of course) to file taxes. We were working on them last night, got to about $600 in returns, then added my information. at that point everything dropped to about $300. Was kind of a bummer, but then we realized since we got married last year I get to claim my school payments. He had never claimed his before either. So we put in our info... and now it looks like we'll be getting back something like three grand! Woot! We are both so excited. We've been trying to figure out how much money we can stash away for the move and still live comfortably until then, and this has pretty much solved that dilemma.

We are also going back through Jake's taxes for previous years to see if we can claim his school info even more. I'm hoping this will give him more push to finally decide he needs a new laptop and to give me the hand-me-down. My laptop still won't charge the battery, unless it's turned off or I keep the power cord REALLY still, but the battery has actually started working properly as of late.

Anywho... getting ready for liburry day and looking for more fun books to read. I want to buy the third book from the harper trilogy by Anne Mcaffery, but I think I'll just check it out for now. We don't need any more stuff to move -_-

Oh! and knitting tonight! *bouncebouncebouncebounce*
