As i'm gearing up to start MY year (channeling some of that Kim Jong-Il ego-maniacism), I'm looking forward to at least a smooth start.

Better believe i'm submitting my $3 Target dollar section splurge on paperclips and  pens -.- If I had health insurance, I could've deducted that as well....(note to self: get health insurance...lol....it can potentially pay for itself...oh and save your life, or something... =) Lots of helpful tips at their site as well as discounts on healthcare, tax services, etc.....
