Death and Taxes

Hey guys!  Sorry for rushing out on you last night, I managed to get to the hospital just in time so that neither the husband nor I had to wait.

This morning I went with a bowl of oatmeal for breakfast before volunteering.

I topped 1/3 cup oats with a splash of soymilk, a big shake of cinnamon, 1t maple syrup, and natural peanut butter.

Delish!  The mix of flavors in this was great.  I usually am not the biggest oats fan (especially without banana) but lately it’s been tasting so good to me.

Volunteering went well today, they kept me super busy for a change.  There’s another volunteer on my same shift now and we get along really well so it makes the time pass all the more quickly.  On my way out I used my lunch voucher to fill up a little container of pineapple.

Then for lunch lunch I made a big plate of roasted veggies.

Okra fries,

and kale crisps with garlic powder on them.

Sadly my tasty lunch was ruined by the fact that I was on hold for 15+ minutes trying to get my W-2 form.  I still just can’t quite get myself away from the soul-crush that is the NYC DOE.

I have plans for a study date this afternoon at the Spot and then a quick but fun dinner.  Hope everyone is having a great Monday!

Have you started your taxes yet?  Do you go it alone or have someone/a service help you out?  We are using H&R Block this year.  Our goal was to finish them weeks ago but the lack of w-2 forms is really gumming up the works.

  1. Grr I’m waiting on a w-2 form from my school district as well – so annoying! I’m trying to be on top of things, but can’t do it without the forms!!

    That okra/kale chips lunch looks phenom 🙂

  2. I hate w-2 delays! We’re lucky to have a tax preparer in the family who does it for free…..unfortunately this year we found out my husbands work was only taking out 4% for federal income tax! Not nearly enough so we have to pay:(

  3. Okra fries?? I have never heard of such thing–how do you make them? I have only had fried okra before so this is very exciting for me!

    As for taxes—I got my return back already, I do NOT mess around when it comes to money! 🙂 I use H&R Block online every yr and have not had one bad experience yet with them yet.
