would like to retract his prior comment about not being terribly tired. all it took was one look at my taxes and i was done for

taxes are tiring

and hideous all at the same time

taxes are very tiring AND hideous

agreed!

Maybe it will be better when we both work in the state we live in.

Although poor Shelley's hubby having to go all international on taxes

yeah, so it wouldn't be too bad for Tax Year 2011 but still... that's a ways away.

international taxes sounds like a nightmare.

I have to get an ID so we can file jointly in the US which means actually driving to the US

because it needs to be notarized by an American notary

Oh! that is sorta silly... what if you were filing that way and lived in Paris? how would you get to the US to do that? nonsense...

my mother used to be an American notary.

but i don't put it past them to require it

and we still have to pay $7300 Canadian so we don't have to pay twice as much american

taxes

taxes indeed!
