Yeah, we can't use the free or cheapest version of anything since we're homeowners who itemize with a lot of freelance income.

I still wish I'd got the curls that plagued my sister and father.

I feel they were wasted on Ali, who spent her youth buying relaxers and has no patience, thus just pulls a brush through her hair and makes it frizz. I'm fussy enough to handle the things.

Sigh.

But no, I just got "faintly wavy, way too thick."

Those of you with curls, have you gone conditioner only?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Jess, you could efile directly with the IRS, but it's more of a PITA -- basically it's doing the 1040 yourself with a calculator. At least all of the schedules are there, which is always my downfall?

Also this weekend I got to listen to John Oliver read an e-mail I wrote.

That's exciting!

No, because I use product in my hair, and conditioner only gets gross after a while. However, I have switched to a non-sulfate shampoo, and certainly a few times a week condition-only. I'd say I use shampoo maybe twice or three times a week, just condition once or twice a week, and the rest just rinse.

Yeah, no. Too much work. Honestly, I really like H&R's online prep services, and since I've used it before they automatically import all my stuff from previous years which saves a TON of time typing in EIN #s and whatnot.

I've gone back to CO in an effort to go back to no shampoo. Using the unscented Whole Foods house brand is getting my hair ridiculously clean.

I totally hear you. If I had anything fancy, it would definitely be worth the money! But yeah, zeroing out after the fees is annoying.

Gud is that the sedan or the hatchback? we are 2007 Focus twins.

It's the sedan. I'd have preferred a five door hatch, but there are lots of used sedans here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

No, because I use product in my hair, and conditioner only gets gross after a while. However, I have switched to a non-sulfate shampoo, and certainly a few times a week condition-only.

Yep, this for me, too. Sulfate shampoos were drying the hell outta my hair. I didn't even know it until I stopped using them. I do still use Head&Shoulders every couple weeks, though.
