trade ins and taxes

Today I finalized all the details for trading in my truck.  I pick up my new Jeep on Saturday and scored a better deal than I thought.  My payments are decreasing by $150 and my insurance is cheaper as well.  This made me extremely happy.

While I was on my happy streak I thought, let's do the taxes.  Getting more money back is fun.  WRONG! For the first time ever I have to pay in.  It's only $30 to federal but still!  WAH, I like having a fat check in February.  Although it was nice to have my money when I went to New York this summer and around Christmas.  Oh well, it's better than what many others have to do.

Today I feel about the same as yesterday.  Not worse but not a whole lot better.  I'm taking that as a step forward.  Plus when you get cute pics like the ones below how can you be sad.
