For once, I felt great about tax day. Thanks to J’s exhaustive research on deductions and new tax law, most of the money I had set aside to pay the tax on my 2004 freelance work didn’t have to be sent to my nasty uncle Sam. In fact, I thought I’d have to hustle to find another couple thousand pretty quickly (since I hadn’t saved even 20% of income), but turned out I only needed $45. Total. Hooray! So, tax money became play money and I got a wonderful 30th birthday present:
I’m thinking party this year…
Yow yow yow yow yow! Nice, uh, hot tub! Want to go out sometime?

I agree that your 30th b-day present beats the pants out of the bucks going to the IRS - especially since we hadn't set anything aside for my freelance work. Thank goodness for tax codes favoring home employment. And you do look good in that bikini.

A new car, a new hot tub and a new bikini that inspires flattering comments. Now THAT's a good birthday. Happy 30th.
