Bachelor Again

Joy is in Florida for her spring break. No, she didn't go to try to get on MTV or Girls Gone Wild or anything like that. Our church youth group goes to Florida for spring break, and since Joy's spring break lines up, she's there with them. As for me? Well, I'm at home in Chicago wondering why I am not eating meals at the dining room table and wondering why my lunches aren't packed when I get up for school. Yeah, she takes good care of me. I'm finding that you really get used to living with someone very quickly. I suppose I've always lived with someone, but marriage is different, and the apartment is just a little lonely this week. Hopefully (yet doubtfully), I'll get a significant amount of school work done, because it certainly is building up entirely too fast.

In other news, I pulled out to grey hairs this morning. I think it has something to do with
1) taxes still not being done,
2) trying to figure out my class schedule/work schedule/practicum schedule for next fall,
3) none of my teams are in the final four.

hey, about the exemptions, make sure you claim 0. Thats zero. And it might not hurt (depending on how much you make) to actually ask them to take out a little extra even.

On your W2 from work should have a little worksheet to figure out if you should have additional money withheld. If you make enough money, they will tell you to have your employer take off $X.XX additional every month. When Janelle and I were both working full time, I think we both had our employers take an additional $18-30 out of each paycheck. Now that she is in Grad school-and hence we are making way less money-we don't need to have extra taken out, but we still only claim zero excemptions. Better to have more money taken out than not enough. And that is said from experience!

Oh, and sorry for the extremely long comment.

I thoroughly enjoy reading your blog. It is a tremendous 'window' to see -- sometimes something humorous, other times somthing more serious, and at other times, simply a 'slice of your life.' Thanks for sharing your life.

I've been praying regarding your practicum. May God show himself to you, by giving our his will, his wisdom as he brings together all the 'pieces' for you and joy.
