Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

But I think I would revert to my first trip to Arizona/New Mexico (a family trip in 6th grade) and suggest doing a loop that would involve Flagstaff (cute town), Sedona/Red Rock country, Jerome (ghostown), and Montezuma's Castle (cliff dwelling). If you pass through Williams, you must have the pie at the Pine Country restaurant (facing the train station with the trains that take you to the Grand Canyon).

Oh, I've been to Sedona -- that's gorgeous. OK, I will keep all this in mind. Thanks!

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

This is kind of what I'd suggest. Remember that driving distances out west are longer than the east, so like a Grand Canyon to Phoenix trip is five hours.

How's this for bureaucratic win? I attempted to file my taxes last night, was informed that one state and the federal return was rejected, but it only took five minutes to fix and retransmit. We're in THE FUTURE!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

I found Flagstaff one of the cutest places I visited in my Arizona trip.

Yeah -- we went from Phoenix to Sedona in a day trip, but didn't really spend much time before we turned around! The drive was cool, though (in a terrifying-to-me way).

This is all totally hypothetical at this point, and maybe we'll go to Ireland or Germany, anyway! I enjoy imagining vacations.

Except, you know, when your state is essentially bankrupt and refuses to give you your refund. Not that I'm bitter. Oh wait, yes, I am bitter.

44 days and counting.

Yeah, I might be a few states away, but I'm with you. Got my Fed refund and my Colorado refund. As much as I would love my California refund, I'm trying not to even think about it.

I still have to file. I've got three W2s and another form for some other money I got this year that I have to remember to bring into work so I can stay late one day and file from my computer here (free software available from the company). It's not like I'll be getting a refund--if I'm lucky, I'll be pretty close to breaking even.

Lunch today was flank steak, mashed potatoes, and peas from the cafeteria, with an orange for dessert. That orange was so juicy and sweet and yummy that I'm tempted to go back to the cafeteria for another one.

They released that money the other day.

I tried to efile last night but couldn't find last year's return to use to identify myself. I don't know if I have stamps.

In further Buffista sprog news, I have just been informed that Dylan was asking about Lily this morning as part of his current "where is everyone I know?" game.

Bwah! I swear these kids are going to need their own board as soon as they can type. Which reminds me, I guess we're about due for another round of Looking at Sprog Pictures. (Lily LOVES the ones with video. As in, will make me watch them over and over and over and over.)
