I was watching Semi-homemade on the Food Network while I was making out my grocery list this morning. She was making a dish that I thought looked pretty good, so I added the ingredients to my grocery list.

Coleslaw, mixed with mandarin oranges, cashews and chicken tenders from the deli. I had it for supper and it was really good. I liked the oranges and coleslaw combination. I think I might try it with a leftover chicken breast instead of a chicken tender next time.

I spent $37.71 at the grocery store and will get $10 back in rebates. I saved 39% according to the receipt. That's before the rebate.

Met my parents at a new Mexican place that opened a half a block from me. It was really good. I spent $11. I walked to the restaurant but it was so cold and the wind was blowing like crazy so mom and I decided to skip our walk.

I checked my taxes again and decided all the numbers are right so put them in the envelopes ready to mail.

I started working on the rebates for my computer. Got about 6 ready to send, have 4-5 left to do. They take so long to get all the pieces together, but it's definitly worth it. The smallest rebate is for $20. One of the rebates for $150 I just had to go to the Best Buy website and type in a couple of numbers plus my personal information and it's done. That's the way to go, I wish they were all like that.

I finished reading my book, Lara Croft Tomb Raider. Sci/Fi. Very good. Much better than the movie, but I almost always like books better than a movie, they explain so much more.

walked with mom for 55 min

Spent about 4 hours on my taxes. It was pretty easy using the TaxCut software except for the stock option part. It took me almost 2 hours to figure out the values and how to record them. I had to go back and find old emails about purchase price and market price and selling price, etc, etc...

I also spent some time on the IRS website looking for examples on how to report this. I found them and then just had to do the math. Hope I did everything right. I'm going to look at the numbers again tomorrow to make sure I entered everything correctly. Need to do that when I'm a little clearer-headed and haven't been looking at numbers all day.

If I did it right I will get $424 back from federal and owe state $51. I'm happy with that. I'll send the federal off on Monday and then wait awhile to send the state.

Finished reading the library book All Night Long by Jayne Ann Krentz. Romance. Very good.
