Taxes are done! Bring on the refund!

Ok so I got my taxes done recently and still waiting for the check in the mail and I always think it's going to be a simple process... I was going to do the Turbotax online thing but chickened out at the last minute because a few years ago i tried to do it online and it messed my taxes up big time... So tax preparer is marked off my list as future ambitions lol...

Anyway, so last year I used one of the H&R block branches here in Topeka and first of all they typed my SSN# wrong so i had to get another W-2 and I didn't like the guy who did my return because he was older and he was messing everything up. This year I set up an appt. ahead of time and the lady was super nice! I'm confident that my taxes were done properly this year and they were cheaper too since i used the 1040EZ my federal was free woohoo!!

I remember when I was with my ex-fiance he wanted me to have a child because 1) I and the baby could get state assistance because he was unemployed and I didn't make alot of money... and 2) Because we could get a nice big fat check every year from the IRS... WHAT A TURNOFF! I guess I should've known then that he wasn't the one for me. I mean I'm sure lower class families may think that's a good idea but why bring a child into the world if you can't support it yourself? I hope that someday I have the privilege of having a child of my own when I'm more financially stable and have a husband with a job. If not at least I have a niece and nephew to dote on from time to time plus all my friends' kids :)....

I guess I just set my standards to high. I mean I go to websites like plentyoffish and tell prospective dates that I want a guy WITH A JOB! I know that's harder to find these days but I think that if a woman should not have to support a man financially (this is only MY opinion so hold it against me if you want :P) especially in a relationship where they live together. It should be 50/50 in my opinion or the man should go make the money and the woman stay home to take care of the kids because child care is CRAZY nowadays. I know I'm super old-fashioned in my beliefs and that could be why I'm still single. I like doors opened for me (which the ex rarely did), i would like for him to pay for our dates (which he never did). I don't know... I guess I'm crazy.... I spoil the person I choose to be with and they like to take advantage.... So maybe I should just quit being so nice! Ugh! Sorry for the rambling I've just been thinking about love and being in love lately with all the Valentine's hoopla going on. Another Valentine's Day without a valentine... Sigh... Oh well C'est la vie!
