Tax Time
I can’t believe it is already April. It is getting closer and closer to tax time and I haven’t even started mine yet. I guess I have about a week to get them done. My wife was telling me the other night she hasn’t started hers either. For some reason this year everyone seems to be procrastinating on getting their taxes done. I don’t know if it’s the economy and the shortage of money or are we all so afraid that we wont have the money to pay our taxes so we are waiting until the very last minute. I think our problem is a little bit of both. I heard the best news the other day though. On the radio a woman was talking about getting an extension on your taxes and also setting up payment plans to pay back to the government what you owe over time. I never knew these options existed without a fee if you can pay it in full within 120 days. I know I’ll be taking advantage of this option this year.

Relaxing
I have been taking sometime off these past couple of weeks to rest. I haven’t planned any activiites and I have even taken some time off of work to just have a few days of R & R. I didn’t realize how badly my body needed it. There have been 2 days where I ended up sleeping until 1:00 PM. Then there have also been days where I worked out and worked on the computer and just caught up on a lot of things that I had been setting aside. I am feeling so much better and I’m ready to get back to work. It’s a good thing too because I don’t think I have another day off for eight more days!

Learning Spanish
I don’t know how many years I’ve been saying I’m going to learn Spanish. I need it for my job, I have friends that speak Spanish, and It’s just good to speak more than one language. You look so much smarter on your resume. Anyhow the reason I’m bringing this up is because I found the greatest thing on the internet. It’s from Rosetta Stone and you install it on your computer to learn a foreign language. It allows you to do 2 things at once which I love. It will change your computer to show you websites, etc. all in Spanish. It’s a great tool if you are interested in learning a foreign language.

When You’re Out of Work
One of my friends just got laid off about 2 weeks ago and he still hasn’t tried to find a job yet. I guess since he was at the company for 13 years he figured he needed a little bit of a break. So now he is not working and just decided that he would spend a few weeks relaxing. I don’t know how I feel about this. On one hand he is right that he has been working hard for a long time. On the other hand he is just expecting to collect unemployment for as long as he can and then he is going to think about finding a job.Â
The question I have is that I don’t understand if our government does too much for people or not enough. You always hear that those who need assistance are not getting what they need. Then on the other hand there are those that are fully capable of working who get assistance because they don’t want to work.

Termites
Okay I love nature as much as anyone else but I have this big problem with termites invading our house. I saw one the other day which means we not only have one but probably have close to a thousands inside the walls of our house. The first thing I did was search the internet for termite control. I came up with winged termites. These people were amazing. They answered all of my questions on their website and came right out to fix the problem. See for yourself at www.killthetermites.com.
