Hearts, Yarn and Taxes

Happy V-day or Single Awareness Day, whichever you celebrate.
Yesterday, hell froze over and I took a half-day of vacation to drive down to the Queen City to see my parents. I needed help from my mom to assemble the Linus blankies and I needed daddy to do my taxes. yes, I am an accountant and no I do not do my my own taxes. I have THREE STATE RETURNS and one federal this year and my dad has many years of experience in filing multiple state returns. Allegedly, I am getting a federal return. Hopefully, i don't have to pay in too much to the states.
So far, Mom and I have assembled two afghans and we are almost done with two more. The sweet pea one is going to take longer because of all the little squares, so it probably won't be finished this weekend. We made a lot of progress while watching Nights in Rodanthe on DVD. Mom had bought it earlier in the week which was cool because that movie hadn't come up in my queue yet on Netflix. I love the soundtrack and the book and now I am fighting the urge to buy it on DVD. I might have to break down and buy it tomorrow.
I am really excited because I found a couple of lesportsac cosmetic bags for 5.99 each at TJ Maxx and normally they are like $18 a piece!
Mostly this has been a lounge weekend, but that fits my work hard, play hard lifestyle.
