Christmas is Over
The last of the Christmas presents have been opened, and the Epiphany is past. For me, that definitely signals the end of the Christmas season. It was time for the decorations to come down, so last night, that's exactly what happened. Isn't it amazing how much faster it is to take down, than to put up? I had all of my Christmas decorations stipped from the walls and the tree in under 3 hours. It easily took me four times that to get the house decorated. What's up with that?
I even have most of my Christmas presents in their new homes. I was on a mission last night. In order to get my life back to a semblance of normalcy, I needed my house to be in a semblance of normalcy. Now, it is. Whew. Sigh of relief. I even got most of my laundry done last night, which was a major accomplishment, coming home from a week long trip.
My next step is to organize my 2004 receipts, in preparation for taxes. I'm ready. I have my PA State tax booklet, and my Federal Tax booklet. All I need are the W-2's. I'm ready. Bring it.

Any good suggestions of things to write off that no one else may think about? I'm always looking for fantastic new deductions!

I tend to cling to Christmas. Decorations still up...I've considered taking down the Christmas, and leaving the Winter ones up...but I don't know. Especially since I don't have a tree up...I guess that would make a big difference.
