  • There are days I just want to shake MH until his teeth rattle.  He's been forgetting to take his diabetes medicine at night lately.

  • I'm being audited. After living overseas for 9 years, the IRS has apparently decided that they need proof that I live in Norway and pay Norwegian taxes. Annoying.

    Even more annoying:  They're asking me to send them copies of two of my other year's US tax returns (each of which happens to be around 20 pages long, thanks to the fun of living/working overseas). They're the IRS! Shouldn't they already have access to that themselves? I have half a mind to call the IRS department to request copies of old returns and tell them to just send them over to the audit department.

  • My food choices have been awful all week.  No...all month.
    Come on!  I lost freaking 80 pounds!!  Why do I seem determined to gain it all back??
    So I'm overhauling food again and trying to add more exercise in addition to the bike riding.  Unfortunately the bike riding has been random thanks to weather.  I feel like a blob.  Also, I have an appointment at a fertility clinic next week.  I'm scared.

    I read recently that a lot of ex-pats are renouncing their American citizenship because of the IRS's wonky tax rules.

  • I'm sorely disappointed in the queso I bought from Trader Joe's. I was so excited to have it when I got home from work and it did not deliver.

  • There was a procession led by bagpipes at my grad ceremony yesterday. The girl sitting behind me actually said, "what are those things they're carrying? Are they some kind of musical instrument or something"? 

    No....those guys are actually making that sound with their voices, genius. 

    I wanted to turn around a revoke the degree she'd just received.

    You could have beaten her about the head with yours.  :o)

    I love bagpipes.  Our college graduating class also had one leading our procession.

  • @menrandes, good luck! I know those appointments can be stressful, but I hope it goes well, and I hope they are able to come up with a good plan for you. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me!
