Curling, Taxes and Monster Trucks!!! What a Combo!!

So a couple of weeks ago I filed our federal return and it was a glorious moment. We did get back a nice piece of the "pie". Although we live high on the hog all year and pay off our debts at tax time there usually isnt much left when the money comes in. Well I just figured our state taxes and we OWE!!! What how can this be? I guess beings we claim Alabama as our state of residence (military), we make too much for them and they want more of our money. But when I think of the people in good ol Bama, I realize that we are rollin in the money compared to them so we are the upper class. Wow for the first time in my life that has happened. Its just a shame that I cant be there to enjoy it or if I were there I would just be piss poor.
Well I just watched the last Curling match of the 2006 Olympics for the USA and we did it we brought home the Bronze medal. Woohoo!!!!!! Lets hear it for the boys....it was one hell of a Bonspiel!! The man in the center of the picture is the Skip, or captain of the team, Pete Fenson. I have followed this sport so deeply that I feel as if it has become my life sometimes, it was truly addictive. Now that it will not be on anymore I will have to wait 4 more years and probably see a new team at that point.
Well tomorrow we are off to Monster Truck Jam, what a day it will be, they do it at the stadium where the Jacksonville Jaguars play. It is supposed to rain so the field will be extra muddy, we are all looking foward to it. We have been the last 3 years in Providence RI and it was indoors and very loud so I am looking foward to this year. My youngest son Avery is so pumped up about it, that is all I have heard for the last week. And my eldest who hated it in the past is really looking foward to it this year. I will possibly put some pictures up on Sunday, if I remember the camera!!
