Fantasia - Give The Girl A Break!

I just can't believe how petty some people can be!

Just in case you have never heard of her, Fantasia won on American Idol some years back.

First I read about her having some financial problems because she was being sued by her own father.

Then I heard a comment from a local radio host that was just in bad taste!

Now I am reading online about the latest news - people are giving her a bad time about her spelling and grammar on Twitter.

I think that this is really just a shame! I think that a lot of people are just probably jealous of her. I really admire her a lot and think people are just 'hatin on her because they are jealous of her.

You go girl! and you just go on and keep doing what you are doing!

Well It Looks Like I Can't File My Taxes Online!

I tried filing my taxes online today and found out that I couldn't go through with it because since I owe taxes the IRS forms that I am filing online requires me to give them my banking information so that they can automatically deduct the tax that I owe directly from my bank account.

Since I didn't want to give this information it looks as though I won't be able to file my taxes online so I will will have to fill out the IRS forms by hand and then mail it in.

This is kind of a bummer because if I file my taxes online then that means that the IRS will get it sooner. But it looks like I'm going to have to fill out the forms manually and then mail them in. I certainly don't want them going into my bank account - mainly because I don't have the money to pay them just yet!



Well to look at the bright side at least I still have time to mail in the forms. Hopefully I'll be able to get by with putting just one stamp on the envelope but I may have to resign myself to the fact that it just might take more than one stamp to mail in the forms because there are three forms that have to be mailed and I don't want to take any chances that this mail could come back - especially when it has to do with the IRS!

I Really Have To Get Over My Loathing Of Doing My Income Taxes!

I should be grateful that I'm getting any income in the first place!

Second of all I think that I am the one who is just making it complicated!

I have 3 tax forms that I have to fill out yearly as far as my income taxes go! I have a local income tax called an Earned Income tax which is having to pay a local tax on one's income. Of course I have the state income tax. And last but not least there is the federal income tax forms that I have to fill out.

Believe it or not I have already completed two of them and I have one more left to go - which is my state income tax. I'm missing one form so I can either call and get the form mailed to me or I can download a copy of their income tax form from their website.

I really should be happy that I'm getting a refund as opposed to having to pay any taxes on my income.

But really I think I'm the one that is making the whole thing complicated!

I Really Have To Learn To Become More Patient!

I turn on my computer and can't wait to get started! Of course it takes a while before my computer is ready!

I really do have to learn to become more patient! I want things to be ready right away! And it's ironic really because I know that when I do things on a more relaxed basis that they happen more quickly and more easily. But sometimes I just don't remember this or I do remember this but I still want things to go more quickly. I have to learn to relax more!

I get easily frustrated when things don't go exactly my way and more times than not I want things to go perfectly!

I get frustrated with work and I get frustrated because things aren't going the way that I want them to. In this instance I have to focus on what it is I want!

Have you ever heard of the "law of attraction"? It states that what we focus on we attract! I'm trying to attract more financial wealth into my life and the problem lies with the word "trying". I have to focus on what it is I want (which is financial wealth), act as though I already have it and the "law of attraction" states that it will come into my life. The more I feel worry or frustration the more obstacles I am putting in the way of what it is that I really want.

There are some days when the days go good but then I will have an anxiety attack or start worrying. I'm really going to have to work on that!

Don Imus?

Well imagine my surprise when I looked at my TV Guide to see that Don Imus is back on the air again! I probably thought that he was going to be back on the air again but I just didn't expect it to be so soon!

I'm kind of surprised that he is back on TV again - although the station he was on was one of the channels from my Direct TV channels and its a station that I have never heard of before.

But it also made me think of something else and that is "second chances". Is it really naive for me to think that he would never be let back on the air (although I thought that he might turn up on paid radio like Howard Stern) after the things that he said?

Look at Britney Spears and what's going on in her life which looks like turmoil to me but yet and still she has come out with a critically acclaimed album.

I'm not saying that everybody deserves a second chance but it looks like they are getting it - one way or another!

Oh Aches And Pains!

I was going up the steps and I realized just how tired it made me! Much as I hate to face it I am getting older! - Yuck!

I tire a lot more easily and I have come to the conclusion that it might be a good idea for me to take naps more often - Isn't that a terrible thing to realize?

I also think I'm beginning to see why people have so much trouble with their hips! There have been times when I have laid down and after some time wanting to get up and my hip just says NO!

I'm also thinking about exercising more. I live in an area where I could take walks to the store, to the mailbox or even to some of the other places in the neighborhood. I see people all the time that live in my area taking walks just for the sake of taking walks and more and more it seems to be a good idea for me to do it too!

I have to face it - I'm getting older (and hopefully better!)
