IN: I did n't want to go , although I had been warned a week earlier about the birthday of a colleague of Leopoldo 's ; still I conspired to get out of it .

Injuring myself would n't work ; days earlier in a radical turn into the driveway I had an encounter with a tree branch that left me with a band aid on the bridge of my nose .

Taxes really took us by surprise last year . We had n't planned for them at all , and while I had a rough idea what we 'd owe , we did n't even start thinking about them until february of this year . I do our own taxes myself ... due to the nature of being self employed , and us not having any children to gain credits , we almost always owe taxes - paying someone else to prepare said taxes just seems like adding insult to injury . So for the 2008 tax season , we 're already starting on our plan .

OPTIONS:
- I did n't plan for taxes last year because I had thought I already paid them prior .

QUES: And many nights , many years , he slept in my bed . He loved to be right up next to you so he 'd cuddle up right next to your legs and pass out ( snoring ) legs splayed . So I ' m fairly grief stricken and having a hard time with it so far . His absence is going to take some time to register permanently ; I keep expecting to hear the patter of his claws on the kitchen floor but it 's not going to come . And when something forces me to realize that he 's gone ( like when I went to put my laundry in and saw that he was n't sleeping in his bed next to the utility sink ) I feel horrible .
