Random Friday Thoughts

  • So I guess I'm talking in my sleep again - last night I was encouraging Priya to walk towards me. I go through periods where I talk a lot in my sleep. You can even ask me questions and I will answer back. Tish hates it when I talk in Hindi though - then she can never figure out what I am talking about.
  • So does eHarmony really work? I've been encouraging a friend of mine recently to sign up, but I'm skeptical of my own advise. I mean sure - there are lots and lots of desperate guys out there (I should know... hehe). But, are there as many desperate women? 'Cause then the cool guys will still get the girl, while us nerds get left behind - so to speak. Maybe desperate is not the right word either... I don't know.. What's a good word for it?
  • I wonder how much the child tax credit is? This will be the first time that I will be filing taxes with a dependant child, and I'm curious as to the effect on my tax liability. By the way, I have filed taxes through eSmartTax for the last couple of years. This year, if you file before 2/15/06, the federal eFile is free. What a deal. Actually, every year I look for ways to eFile for free.
  • Tax time always makes me think of how much we depend on money. For almost the entire month of January I go around with Abba humming "Money, money, money.. Always sunny.. In the rich mans world".
  • I also realize how God has blessed us incredibly - I am undeserving of it all.

Bipin, sleeptalking ... in Hindi ... wow! thanks for sharing :)

I hate tax time. my last two years have meant HUGE payback (where i have to pay the Govt) ... And this tax time will be no different.

I wonder how much i can get back for 2 children ... yippee. some more money back!

taxes are one of the most the most confusing things in this world. between tax time and health insurance I'm surprised my brain isn't fried!

I don't think I knew that you were a sleep talker. That's fun. Although, probably somewhat annoying for Tish. Rekha used to talk in her sleep. In French. And usually in an angry voice. It was kind of scary for me.

I love taxes more than anything, I think they should tax at least 80 percent of our paycheck. And is Eharmony some sort of online help group for bad harmonizers?

Fabio sometimes talks in his sleep! One time he sat up in bed and yelled "YOU GOTTA SAY: 'I FEEL RESTED!'" Then he fell back on his pillow and was snoring!
You could tell Tish to learn Hindi! Then she could know all your secrets. ;)

Tax time.... fun. I feel intimidated this year because up until now my brother has done everything for us, but he is gone now. boo hoo. I dont know the first thing of what to do. Is that efile thing easy? Could even *I* figure it out, I wonder???

So, what was your name before it was Bipin?

I had a really nice time at y'all's house the other night. Too bad Fabio missed out. He is still not well. Worse, actually....
