I've always been someone who liked to do my taxes well before the April 15 deadline, so as to avoid the stress of suddenly discovering I don't have the right forms or that my car won't start on the way to mail the paperwork. But I've also long loved passing the post office on April 15. I love to see the postal workers along the curb, waiting to collect everyone's envelopes. A beautiful system at work. Now that I think about it, I think last year I did my paperwork in advance, but waited to mail it until April 15. Best of both worlds.
This year, the best is of a different makeup. We did wait to do our taxes - doing them last night. Despite the stress, I was excited about doing them as a couple. (And I get a strange pleasure in writing those numbers on the lines.) Our first taxes as a Married - filing jointly! And then tonight I'll get my post office rush!

Sorry, Sam. What can I say since I account for some of her genetic makeup.
