Doing taxes = Stupid Annoying!!

Don't get me wrong, seeing that number of money at the end was great. The process leading up to it definitely goes under the bane of my existence.

This was my first year filing them for myself. My mom, the brilliant CPA she is, always did them for me in the bast. Even though she did say she would do them this year too, I decided I should do them myself. You have to man up and learn one day.

So I went to the internet and TurboTax.

Signing up was free which was great! I did the free edition since I'm still a student.

It was annoying as all get out to gather all the paper work necessary to file taxes. W2. 1098. For me, being the anti-confrontational girl I am, I had to man up. I had a job and school I'd left to get information from. I did not want to have to talk or go down there.

All I can say is praise jesus that the job had electronic requests and I had saved all my financial paperwork from school.

Oh! I forgot to mention, I've moved twice this year so my current job didn't have my current address! Once I got that fixed I had everything I needed to start.

Phew!

As I answered the questions and filled out the information, all I could think how glad I was to not be too much of a grown up quite yet. Some of my "simplified" questions were tricky. What if I had a dependent? Or owned a house? Or stock? I shiver at the thought of filling out those questions.

I pushed through and finally got everything filed. Just waiting for that check to come now. Although I feel like I already have it spent with the list of big girl things I have to use it to buy or pay off!!

Guys, I totally dropped the ball and I'm on my knees begging forgiveness! I haven't posted in weeks it feels like (cause I haven't)!! [ Insert ALL the sad emoji's here! ] I have just had a dumb about of shit going on in the past couple of weeks, but I promise this is me getting on the ball about my posts!

Currently, I am working two jobs....that's right! I got the Sprinkles job!! I am now a cupcake counter associate at the original Sprinkles bakery in Beverly Hills! It is so much fun you guys. I don't even mind getting up at 6 o'clock in the morning to go to my opening shifts! I'm slowly making my way through trying all the cupcake flavors, but I feel like it's going to take forever because there are sooooo many!

So, that is my excuse for dropping the ball: opening shifts at Sprinkles followed by closing shifts at Grauman's has been wearing my ragged. Phew.

Also, like an idiot, I have sprained my foot. So now I'm hobbling around both jobs like a crazy person. Slowly but surely it's getting better. I just need to take better care of it. I won't stop moving on it though, so that means it's gonna take even longer to heal which is not okay. Why you ask?

I have my first real dance audition coming up in 9 days at Universal Studios! I miss dancing so much, and I've always wanted to do it as more than just a class here and there. I'm so out of practice though, not having really danced in over a year, and now with my foot...oh jeez! I'm still going to go, and at least let them see my face. Who knows what will happen?! It'll be fun at least!

So that, is just my quick little update and my pledge to get back on the horse with the posting thing! I am going to even bake cupcakes later today for my 25 Weeks of Cupcakes. Of course that will be before I go see 300: Rise of an Empire tonight. Cupcakes and violence...sounds like a typical day for me actually, lol.

Thanks for letting me ramble about my life to you guys and I'll talk to you later!!! <3

This will be the second year that we have gone to Vegas for Courtney's big day. So I thought I'd do a this weeks post about what I packed, etc!

Originally I was going to do a packing post, and then a photo diary for the time in Vegas. However, I have to face the fact that I am a shitty vacation photographer. I'm never one to stop and take photos of the scenery. Plus, I always forget to stop and take pictures when we're all together and having a good time.

So I thought I would still do the two separate posts, but be prepared...the pictures you'll see in the next post are not mine lol.
