A blog about me, not kittens

Interesting.

Here’s how much of a tax cut I would receive under the respective parties tax plans:

Calculate your own figure here.

Sure, you may say, it has to be skewed towards the Obama tax plan - but when I plugged in $250,000+ of income, I got this message: “You will probably not get a tax cut under the Obama-Biden plan.”

Duh. Isn’t that what they’ve been saying all this time?

Funny enough, when I chose $200,000-250,000 of income, I still wouldn’t get a tax cut. However, when I switched my marital status from “single” to “married”, I would get $725 back. The way I look at it, a cut is a cut.

I’m still stumped as to what I should be for Halloween. My brother invited Tim and I to a costume party at his house and I’m still awaiting my co-worker J to bring in her stash of costumes so we can pick something out. I hate leaving things to the last minute. I’ll probably be a ghoul or something traditional, per usual. I saw some bitchin’ Halloween false eyelashes at Cub Foods of all places last night…they were stunning. I may have to go that route.

I’m hoping I don’t catch the scurvy death cold flu that Tim’s suffering through right now. He even volunteered to sleep on the couch last night to help my avoiding catching the sickness. What a sweetie.

This weekend, I’m working at Ye Olde Part Tyme Jobbe, then I’m going to hit this consignment shop that the gal at the liquor store told me about.

I know, it sounds weird that the gal at the liquor shop would share such information. But, one Friday evening I stopped there after work to pick up some beer for the weekend and I happened to be wearing my cute denim skirt, a fun sweater, my puffy vest and my most favorite brown boots ever:

My fav boots

(With those socks too!)

Anyway, when I walked (having a good hair day on top of it) in this gal said “OH MY GOD you look so CUUUUUUTE!” I was quite taken aback as this NEVER happens to me. Then we got into a long conversation about my outfit and where I bought my boots. Apparently I made an impact on her, because last night I went there after I was done at the gym in sweaty gym clothes, a ratty sweatshirt and my hair looking, well, crappy. She said “oh! I found some boots like yours!” and then she told me about this consignment shop in Maple Grove. I’ve been wanting to find one - especially since the one shop I knew about is not open anymore. So I’m stoked to find some good bargains and round out my wardrobe a bit more. All my dress pants, I’ve had since 2004. Nothing new (pants-wise) since!

Hopefully it’ll work out.

Also - is it Friday yet? What a long week
