Macho Macho Man!

I truly do not know why that tune is stuck in my head... It's kind of jacked right?

So I just did the dishes from dinner and as I am rinsing them I start freaking out in my head because the forks aren't in the sink. My brain is processing like mad trying to figure out where the hell the dinner forks are. Then it all comes flooding back. They are still protruding from Collin's corpse because he was being a bastard.... Okay, not really. Well he sort of was but the forks weren't protruding from his corpse. They weren't in the sink because we didn't use any forks tonight! Derp... We had chipotle black bean burgers and sweet potato fries... No fork action required.

Happiness is realizing you DO NOT have to run seven miles in the morning. Instead we (for training) need to do at least four and a half, but the loop I have us doing will be closer to five. I thought it seemed early in our training schedule to have to pull a seven mile run out of our asses, and I was right. Tomorrow should be fun; running and otherwise.

Happiness is also filing your taxes and finding out you are getting an okay chunk of money back (when you expected to be paying a small chunk!). It is even more awesome because there was originally a screw up with the H&R Block office we had our appointment with didn't actually have our appointment in their book... Yea, made the appointment online last night... Oh well. So we came home and used H&R Block's free online service (not totally free; had to pay 27.95 for the state stuff) which was WAAAAYYY cheaper than having someone in their office do it, and all I had to do was input the info and amounts (which is what they would have done for me...). I was totally expecting to owe at least a little bit, but nope. We do not owe any additional taxes this year!! We are getting a pretty decent chunk from the feds and even a little bit back from the state (the state refund is the first we will be receiving in three years). Pretty awesome!

With the way the past couple of weeks were.... Well the last twelve days (kind of shocking that is all the time that has passed...); one must remember it is important to relish in the small bits of happiness rather than rot in the piles of shit life tends to dish out. Yea, feel free to use that little nugget of wisdom. Free of charge.

I'm going to go do something other that this for a bit and then go to bed so I am refreshed and ready to take on what I am hoping will be an epic Saturday! Good night my minions!
