Yesterday I finished our 2010 tax returns .... spent an hour on the "chat line" with Turbo Tax and finally resolved my own issue myself. It was about Estimated Taxes paid....Quicken input had given me double credit. But now it is in the mail and done with.

Hier, j'ai fini de 2010 déclarations de revenus .... passé une heure sur le "chat en ligne" avec Turbo Tax et finalement résolu propre problème moi-même. Il était environ estimée impôts payés .... Quicken entrée m'avait donné un double crédit. Mais maintenant il estdans le courrier et faire avec.

But I did take time to go to the gym with Carolyn yesterday afternoon. Spent the morning preparing my blogs ahead because Mary will arrive next Tuesday with Anthony and will be here for two weeks. Jim was at Bowers from 9 to 3 so it was a good day to do that.

After the Sunday party I was up a couple of pounds but have been back to 130 lbs (59 kg) for three days now. I need to cut back on the cheese and nuts because other than that and white wine...I've been pretty good on low carbs.

Mary: loved the photos you sent me of Philip's elephant for the parade.....what is the parade about? He did a terrific job....not sure how he is going to see to drive it!

This morning on the Green Mangos Blog....I learned about Khan Academy....wow....what a fabulous tool for the teachers and parents. I sent it to all my kids...hope they will open it and find it as informative a I did. Now if he would do segment on English Language and also French...learning would be so much easier.

Tuesday by the way I went shopping: First Communion for Lily, baby gift for Mike and Andrea's baby shower on April 9th and also picked up the movie "The Tourist" at the $1 machine. Jim absolutely loved it....it was fun stopping to check on things on the internet....remember when he looks out over the Grand Canal after he arrives at the hotel....he sees the Rialto Bridge....it's CG....the bridge you could see (if any) would be the Accadamia...but it's not nearly as pretty. We had fun watching it on Tuesday evening.
