What a BEAUTIFUL rainy, drizzly, dreary day to do TAXES!!!  Yes - the pollution is at bay after a day and night of rain (I KNOW that you in Iowa, especially, are SICK and TIRED of hearing about rain!  Sorry!)

Taxes - if you live outside the United States on April 15, then you receive an automatic (YES AUTOMATIC) extension of 2 months ((( AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT THEY TOLD ME ON ALL THE WEBSITES, ETC.)))

So, time for Turbo Tax and an E-file - because I STILL won't be home by June 16, which is the last date before ANY return may be filed, without being late, this year.

BACK TO IT!!!  Laughing - yes, a small refund - I worked outside the US - YES, I DO have to report THAT income this year, unless I wish to stay outside the US longer, but if *I* am in Canada most of the month of July ... WAIT, WAIT JUST A COTTON PICKIN' MINUTE!! -  so maybe I WILL file an extension (you are allowed when you are trying to see if you are physically outside the US for 330 days).

Let me see ... grinning wildly, forgot that I would still be outside of the US in July - CANADA!!!!  Hmmm ... MORE SOON!
