Wow, I can't believe I haven't made an entry since the end of March. I've just been super tired. It took me so long to get over that strep I had and the exhaustion but my throat is getting sore again....ugh.
Anyway, I tried to keep up with the alerts but just didn't have the energy or motivation to make a tag or write a word. I'd open this journal and just stare at it. I haven't made a tag in a while. The one above was from a tube of the day challenge in one of my groups from a few weeks ago. I guess I sort of feel that way. I know when I made it I had my strep throat.
We had some gorgeous weather but back to icey sleet today which is typical for western Pennsylvania right now. The forsythia is just starting to bloom which is really slow this year. A couple of hyacinths finally popped through; darned groundhog was right about this area.
I got our federal taxes sent in. The state is done but not mailed. Our local boroughs, towns, etc. in Pa. charge a wage tax also (right Missie...lol?). Mine isn't taken out of my pay, nor are the kids so that will get mailed on the 15th because that is a pretty good sum. Only thing is I haven't even started that form yet. Wini, I will be doing that meme that you tagged me with very soon. My biggest bad habit is procrastination. Right now is taxes and the darned FAFSA for Megan for student aid. She still has a few more credits to finish next fall. I absolutely hate that form. I do her student version plus my parent version because of all the tax info which she wouldn't have a clue about. It has to be renewed online. I'm so nervous about it this year because of all things AOL 9.1's browser isn't supported so I don't know if it will work. Why I wait until the last minute is beyond me. It has to be done before May 1st in Pennsylvania. I may have to reinstall 9.0 VR that someone graciously sent me. So, right now I feel a bit cruddy again plus I'm worried about the darned FAFSAcrap. I can't do anything without Megan's pin number. She needs to send it to me but is on campus tonight.
LOL...If I would only organize myself and quit letting things go until the last minute, life would be so much easier.
Well, I'm off to pull the winter things out again since it will be cold here all week.
Here are a couple more snags or tags below. Again, they were done a few weeks ago. Hugs to all....muah!!!

beautiful work with the tags; so sorry you haven't been feeling good, Chris, these germs this year seem to be hanging on long for a lot of people that get them, my husband is on his second round of antibiotics and still not feeling up to par
taxes...........what a pain; I just did my son's online and they were super easy to do but just time consuming, I can imagine with you doing taxes and school forms, etc what a hassle; wish it was a simpler process
take care of yourself
betty
I know your feeling of opening a journal and staring...been there lately too. I am always happy to see tags from you...always...many hugs and love...hope the cold is short lived.. Joyce
Very beautiful work Chris as ususal. You've given me a headache with all those taxing tax form things. Hope you feel up to par soon.
Sharon
Beautiful tags Chris! I snagged a couple. I am so glad my daughter took care of her own college stuff. I tried to talk her into applying for scholarship and grant money, but she refused. It's how my g/f and I got thru nursing school...essays, essays, essays. Anyway, I hope you start feeling better.
hugs, Bethe
Thanks for the tags. I snagged two of them.
You and I are so alike! I put things off until the very last minute, too. It has gotten me in trouble a couple of times, too. Terrible habit! I really need to work on that.
I hope you feel better soon. If you are getting another sore throat get to the Doc again! Don't wait like I did. OMG I was in HELL when I was sick. I hope you get well soon.
Take care...love you MUCH,
Pam xoxox
Chris glad you're back around again. I know what you mean about being so darn tired. Thank goodness I'm done with the taxes and FAFSA for Lauren.
Hope you don't get sick again.
Take care, Chrissie
Really nice work Chris. Sorry you are still feeling cruddy. This is the first year in 45 years that I don't have to file a tax return...HooRay. We don't have state tax here in TN. That's a good thing too. Feel better.
Hugs, Joyce
Glad you are feeling better, Chris... I hope you're not having a relapse... take extra vitamin C, and keep resting. It's starting to get cold here again in NC... just when we enjoyed a couple of springlike days. I am not going to get out my winter clothes, though, because my classroom is pretty warm most of the time, and I have to open windows to stay cool enough. I actually go sleeveless most of the time to avoid having hot flashes. Have a good week. get better! bea
hope you kick whatever it is that might be coming on, feel better doll.
May I please request the fairy one with
Chelsea
thank you ;)
Very sorry to hear that you have been feeling so exhausted and tired. I sure hope Spring will come soon and fill you with energy.
Boy, a good thing you wrote about the taxes. I know it is not smart to say, I almost forgot.... but I did. Good thing you reminded me... I have to send off our stuff tomorrow.
Your tags are awesome....as always........... and I would love to have one of each with Maria on it. If you feel up to it. Take your time. Thank you in advance. Hugs, Maria
hang in there:) praying you feel better soon

Carolina

***never a hurry honey-just get better please.
I'm glad you feel better but it sounds like you've really been through the wringer there. I'm so glad to see a post from you and I snagged that top tag. Gorgeous as always. I would have no idea what to do about the taxes. I'm so glad Dirk handles all of that. We should be getting our money soon. He did ours early.
I hope you just get better and better and better.
It's come down a real cold snap here too. Brr. And THAT'S why I haven't gardened yet. I knew one more was coming.

Hi Chris, Can I have the first tag (No Smile is as Beautiful) with the name Valerie on it? Please and thank you?
I also wanted to say that I am sorry you have felt sick and felt what sounds like overwhelmed and blah lately. That is what happens to me when I can't post. I haven't posted in a week. I just open and stare. I think that means you need a break. NEVER feel bad when you take time off from blogging or tagging. You are entitled to. As my sister Valerie says - we have lives! We don't need to just blog and do tags! And yes, that weather can really get you down, how about that? I am in Central PA. Ugh. I hope it is nice too. I hope the cold doesn't kill my bulb flowers. I even forget what I planted but I hope the flowers are pretty when they come in, LOL. Okay, must run, Love you,
Krissy :)

Yes Chris, PA charges that stupid tax here in PA. It's not taken out of Kevin's pay either so I'm waiting last minute also to send it in. LOL
Enjoy your week and take care of that throat!
Missie
I wait sometimes too & then kick myself for doing so. I didn't used to be that way, the older I get the worse my procrastination is!!!
Great snags....thank you for sharing.
We are freezing here in KY also, last week it was in the 70's all week - just gorgeous...freeze warning tonight. I will have to cover my bushes that have started blooming.
Have a good one Chris.

Hello my friend... I made it! lol I didn't even get this alert, but came here and checked, and sure enough, you had made an entry.
Staring at blank pages, and not knowing where to start or what to say? Hah! That is totally me!
I certainly hope you are not getting sick again! I have been more sick this year, since starting back to work in the ER, than I have in my whole life (combined).. seriously!
I am mailing my taxes in tomorrow! lol Nothing like waiting until the last minute, eh??
Love you dearly, my friend.....

Jackie

Good to hear from you Chris. Can't you use the AOL connection and open an Internet Explorer browser to go to that tax site?
Oh taxes time used to be hell time with my parents. I dreaded it. I do wish you an easier time than usual I like tht snag. seems like quite a few journalists wintered hard back there where it can really get cold. We had such mild weather and even phoenix was cooler than usual. I do so hope that once the taxes are done and spring is really here, you feel a whole lot perkier! Gerry
Sorry your sick hon...Doc and I are down for the count once again. Figures with his working multiple jobs, we finally get some together time and we both end up sick. I've been in a blah frame of mind myself lately. I have a ton of letters and emails to reply to that I've been putting off for some reason. I had to do the FASFA papers for two years and dreaded it each and every time. Thankfully on SS I don't have to file taxes. I did however help Doc with his and reamed him a good one for waiting till the last minute.
Here's to hoping with Spring around the corner we both feel better and a little more like ourselves. (Hugs) Indigo
Glad you checked in... I miss you!
be well,

Ahhhh tax season. Don't you love it? NOT!! I got halfway through ours on turbo tax and caught an error and it wouldn't let me go back and correct it. It also wouldn't let me restart my return. So I went to another site and got them done in no time at all. Have fun with yours!
Thanks for the snags.
Hugs Barb
It has been a while for me too. Those are really nice tags. Love the top one.. speaks the truth, doesn't it? Sometimes hard to smile through the tears. I finally got our taxes done. I dislike that job a lot. lol Why in the world I procrastnate is beyond me!! Ugh! Seems I should know better at my age! lmbo Too funny... I comment as I read.. we both said the same thing!! lol Will keep you in my prayers to feel better. Thank you for sharing the tags. Hugs, Janie
