Way TMI

So, even though both the door and the book have been closed on Plan B, I still have Hope. Hope is a total biiiitch and I truly hate her. Why, just today she woke me up at 5 AM whispering “Hey, you’re late [yanno, late] and you do still have all those Clearblue Easy digitals [...]

Told ya.

(OK, fine, back to W-2s) Directly (!!!) from the Internal Revenue Service’s website: Why report tips to your employer? You must report tips to your employer so that: Your employer can withhold federal income tax and social security and Medicare taxes or railroad retirement tax (Right there! HA! In yo’ face, Tax Professional Ol’ Biddy!)

Another boring post about W-2s…

(I warned you) Background: on a W-2 form, for some reason, tips and wages are separated out for Social Security (i.e., if your taxable wages were $5000 for the year, there will be a box that says that your Social Security wages were $1000 and Social Security tips were $4000). So, I got a call [...]

Laundry

So, it appears that All, Downy and Purex are serious when they say “UNSCENTED FORMULA.” I know this because I just did laundry (yes, in Columbus) using Purex’s 3 in 1 laundry sheets and whooo, this “Oasis Fresh Scent” crap is totally cloying. I never realized how much the smell of detergent and fabric softener [...]

Ring, telephone!

Soooo… blood draw was on Wednesday at 8:30 AM. I still haven’t heard anything. I’m not nervous, just excited to hear something. If this is the month to start Lupron and other injectables, I’d like a little time to weigh my pharmacy options and find the lowest cost provider. In the meantime, here are some [...]

The Show…

seems to officially be on the road. Went to LabCorp today for my first IVF related bloodwork. Hopefully I’ll hear about the results early next week and Dr. K will give me an official game plan. I did not know this until recently, but it appears that IVF is generally a two month endeavor. Here [...]

So, Mom

wants me to post more. Can I convince her that this is a bad plan? Let’s find out. (I can’t wait to go to Indiana again – this time next month I’ll be there!! Yay!) So I was driving to Blockbuster and talking to Mom about the no cable television thing and I point out [...]

thesis/antithesis

So, I am sitting here reading emails and the word “Antithesis” is in one of them. Why do we pronounce thesis “theeeesus” but antithesis is this jumble of syllables “antithusus”? Seriously. Say “antithesis”. Doesn’t it feel like it’s the word that never ends (yes it goes on and on my friends, some people started saying [...]

I am…

100% batshit crazy and there are no two ways about it. Cuh-ray-zee, people. I just spent a ridiculous amount of the day obsessing about saving money. A good thing, right? Not if it’s on stuff I don’t need! (Well, OK, “don’t need” is debatable in this case but just wait) So, I hate cleaning. I [...]
