W-2? W-4? W-hy the f**k do they have to be so confusing

Tax time is coming again and some of you are probably wondering, How can I get my dad to do my taxes?

Here are a few short steps to securing your dad's help during tax season:

1.) Every time he asks have you gotten your forms together, groan and say "Ugh I hate taxes" then change the subject.

2.) Ask him about how to set up a retirement account, then slip all your tax info into the folder of confusing papers you give him. Then when he asks you about it say, "Oh I've been looking for those to give to you. You said you wanted to do my taxes for me right?"

3.) Cry

4.) If your dad is crafty, get him involved in a serious project until the day before taxes are due! Then freak out!

I hope this might help you to ease your tax burden this year. If you need further help please see our first post about dad's being better at taxes.- Peace love and hair grease!-Peas

where have we been?

So as we said in our first blog we would probably write in here for about a week and then lose our own attention span. Apparently we looked into a crystal ball before saying that! We have been doing a ridiculous amount of yoga and trying to get back in-touch with our inner spirits. We have also been listening to a lot of Shakira. Clearly good reasons to have abandoned our blog about wasting time! I am going to try to get back on the band-wagon.

I have a new project that I am effectively using to waste my time. I am collaging, my goal is to do one a day but it has already turned into one a week. I will do my best to scan them in and let you see where the year takes me but I promise nothing!the image above is some of my early work.

This isn't really funny but it does help me waste time and forget about my house being dirty or how I can mix vinegar and baking soda to clean my toilet with an old toothbrush. Or at least hose were the directions I think Martha gave me?!?!
