NT So - how did YOU celebrate?

[Catherine]

What did YOU do to celebrate the end of tax season?  Sleep?  Eat?  Drink?  All of the above?

My husband and I are going out in about a half hour, to get me a hot fudge sundae.  That's my celebration.

[Terry D EA]

Well I hope you have a great time and enjoy that sundae. My wife and I are being so elaborate, we are just spending a much needed evening together. Now that I have all the scoop on the IRS outage it is time to shut this thing off. Enjoy!!!

[Catherine]

The sundae was great!  Enjoy your time with your wife.

My son (my assistant) and I went out for Japanese . He had sushi and I had hibachi shrimp and broccoli.

I had a chocolate cupcake with peanut butter filling late afternoon and then tried to take a nap.  Wrong order, the sugar and chocolate had me wired and I barely drifted off.  I'm feeling tired but not too beat up.

Made myself scrambled eggs since i make the best scrambled eggs ever

We just stayed home and watched some tv. Tomorrow, we will go somewhere, because I haven't left the place in almost two weeks. I don't want to splurge and eat something bad for me until after my physical on Friday.

I took my staff to dinner at a local restaurant. 

We ate, drank and laughed for two hours.

My receptionist had her baby on April 12th, so we had a 5 day old baby boy at the table with us.

My wife and I will relax at home tonight.

I hit golf balls because the golf season has officially begun.

[Abby Normal]

Same as Rich, took staff and family to dinner at this great little Italian place in town. One good thing about tax season ending on a Tuesday is we almost had the restaurant to ourselves. I'm sure the restaurant and wait staff appreciated our business too.

I was supposed to meet with other preparer friends for drinks, my daughter calls me that she needs shoes for our vacation (starts today) and I had to cancel on them.  But I did have a drink and my daughter had ice cream.  

[Possi]

My assistant and I went for a doubles massage. My neighbor brought us a little bottle of champagne, so we had some bubbly before going.  This gal, Cynthia, has become like a daughter to me. With no job and no plans for a career, I took her under my wing last year. She was even better this year. I'm helping her study for her EA (even though I have no plans for my own) so she can plan her future in taxes.

Personally, this has been the most peaceful, joy-filled, and productive tax season in my life. Thank you for all your assistance, all your laughs, and for being my extended office. This is my safe place, right here. What a difference this site makes in my business and my spirit.

Saturday, I begin HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS. Yes, 62 this month, and I'm finally able to fulfill a dream of mine. I am going to a Christian camp so that if I fall off the horse and "wake up dead," they know how to pray me UP!  AMEN?

I'm a very blessed woman!

Thanks, and God Bless y'all.

Headed out early this morning to my  getaway in the country.  Arrived at 5 am and it was snowing!  It stopped at about 7 and I cleaned up all the downed branches and fixed  the plow damage.  I loved it, no thinking and my back aches but it feels so good.  Got a haircut and a great lunch with a friend in my favorite Greek restaurant, ate and drank with a smile knowing I'm done.  Just got back and this is the first place I went to check.  Glad to see everyone is having a good time.  I'll be in bed early....very early.  Best to everyone, you did good, we should all be proud of ourselves.

[NECPA in NEBRASKA]

My husband said that this was the smoothest end of tax season that he has seen in our 28 years together.  I'm not sure what I did differently, but I hope that I can keep it up. I did start using him earlier in the season as my receptionist  for signing so that I could work harder without all of the distractions.

[TAXMAN]

My son is learning baseball umpiring. I have been calling about 5 years. First scheduled game for me tonight and his first base calling tonight. Should be fun. At least I can toss you out if I don't like you.

[RitaB]

So yesterday afternoon I called @Possi to see if they survived, and they were DRINKING AND HAVING MASSAGES.  Wait, what?  I thought I was your best friend, not Cynthia.  I see how it is.

Then I went home, had five little candy bars, and whoever named them "Fun Size" clearly did not understand fun.

Then I hiked around the farm smiling and enjoying the sun, thankful for a good season.  Discovered a new baby calf, which is always like Christmas morning to me. 

Thanks to all of y'all for everything you do for me.  And everybody please stick around because I need you all year.

See you in June when you'll really need help!

[Alex]

Back at work now to work on the backlog. I celebrated by sleeping, sleeping, playing video games, sleeping some more, and eating real food in between. No more gummy bears and chocolates for lunch and dinner!

I'm still waking up at ungodly hours.  I'm so jealous.  And it's torture trying to get through one return now.
