TGIF!

Today is Friday! The end of a fairly arduous workweek, the beginning of the weekend, finally a couple of days to rest, relax, and unwind!

This past week has been a busy one for me. I have also observed, that it has been busy for many of my friends. So to all of my friends, coworkers, and others... enjoy your weekend! You deserve it!

So Tax Day (April 15th) has come and gone... I am happy and proud to say, that I owed taxes this year! Why? Because when I overpay my taxes, I get a refund. My refund is nothing more than the amount of money that I paid to the government, above and beyond what they have determined that I owe them. In effect, I have given the government an interest free loan! I don't earn interest on any overpayment! That money would have been better spent sitting in a saving account, earning a 0.5 to 1% interest rate!

Yet, if I owe taxes... as long as the amount is not too great that I incur "penalties" for underpayment... I end up paying just the right amount... no interest free loans!

I digress...

Today is Friday! I am looking forward to this weekend as I have a few unfinished projects that I need to get done!

Isn't it sorta funny? One is so busy during the workweek that they can't get anything done, yet when the weekend comes, a time to rest and relax, it seems that they are even busier and work harder to get a week's worth of work around the home accomplished in two days...

Luckily, I am almost caught up. A few more weekends and I will be to the point where I can just "maintain." Once I maintain for a few weekends, I will be able to "get ahead!" Once I get ahead, I will be able to "excell!"

Won't that be nice!?

So to all of my fellow hard working friends, I wish you well on your weekend! Even if it might be delayed by a day or two, three...
