Not much Easter-y around these parts. It was very cold and snowy off and on, though we did get some sunlight by the end of the day.

I paid bills, went grocery shopping, and did my taxes. Woo! It's a thrill-a-minute!

I don't object to paying taxes (you can't have civilization without taxes, and I like civilization) but I really dislike having to send it extra money at the end of the year. I have to remember to increase my withholding at work tomorrow. (I was going to grump a little more about it all, but I looked at pictures of cute mammals instead and the urge has passed.)

Speaking of cute mammals, Tom & Heather had their baby last night, I gather. Woo! again, for real this time. Alice posted earlier, I saw Rose in the parking lot at the grocery store, and the new mom sent out email herself about it. So hooray for that! Welcome to the world, Maya. It's normally warmer and sunnier than this, I promise.

I am a little surprised; I've never actually owed extra taxes. What a pain. :-(

Those stats seriously need to include a "greatest nemesis" link so we can at least see the puppy that people have been deluded into thinking is cuter than Rover....

I am perplexed as well. Perhaps some of these people have just been blinded by [livejournal.com profile] roverthedog's cuteness and clicked on the wrong puppy by accident.
