Tax Rebate – Money
by Mark on Apr.23, 2008, under Uncategorized
So, the US gov’t has decided to write [most] everyone a tax rebate check to help out the economy. Not going to get into the arguement of if that will actually help or not, but it took my wife and I about 2 minutes to figure up ways to spend it-
- Pay off part of my car
- Fill the gas tank of the 2 cars and lawn mower
- Pay off the vet bill.
- Replace the kitchen window (part of it is rotted out)
- Other windows (have 3 more to replace upstairs)
- Down payment on a new car for the wife
- Build the missing piece of the fence in the backyard
- Stain the deck
- Redo the bathroom
- Paint
- Pay off bills
- Extra mortgage payment
- Landscaping items
- Get an emergency batter backup sump pump
- Start putting a bathroom in the basement
- Start finishing off part of the basement
- Get a complete Lawn furniture set
- Pay off a large portion of the remaining education bills for my wife
- Vacation
- Charity
- Savings
In any case, we’ve got places for it to go…. wow.
Long awaited update

So, been a while since I was last here…
Updated the wordpress script to the newest version while I was at it too.
So, AWANA is over for another year now, hard to believe that I’ve been helping out now on Tuesday nights during the school year for 2 years now.
Work is going pretty good, Angie is doing well at school – perhaps too well, I hardly ever see here it seems!
Its getting warmer and I can’t wait to start getting outside again. I really want to go camping… Didn’t really have a chance last year with the wedding and everything else.
Wonder what wonders await this weekend!
