…is equal to the love you take

Great news! Spouse finally finished our income taxes last night and we get a refund!

Also, he informed me that the silly Economic Stimulus Act 2008 “rebate” is going to really help towards vacation, as well as reminding me that his work bonus is being distributed in a month. In order of size we have Geo. Bushes rebate, and both the tax refund and bonus about the same–not very big, but together nothing to sneeze at. It’s been a long, cold, wet winter and it’s so nice to be able to realistically plan for summer vacation! I think that like many folks, we’ve been spooked by the thought of gasoline prices getting even higher over the summer and how much that may curtail our usual plans. It’s with enormous relief that I can anticipate a slight financial uptick for us and have the ability to start really planning for fun times!
