Tax Woes & Fun on the Town

I hope everyone is having a fabulous April so far. Now that hell week (a.k.a. tax week) is over, I can finally breathe again. I am such a dumb bitch for waiting until APRIL 13TH to start organizing my tax stuff lol. This is the first year I’ve had someone else prepare them for me. I got 1099′d out the ass (all of you freelancers will know what this is.. the form of death) so I figured I would need a professional’s guidance. I was able to write off my internet bill, cell phone bill, house phone bill, gas, computer purchases.. all kinds of shit that I didn’t know about.

Okay enough boring talk. Here are some recent pictures from a night kicking it VIP at Club Pearl (a ‘vegas style’ club in Tucson) and a night out on 4th Avenue (the best bar hopping street in Tucson).

I Heart College

Call me crazy, but somehow within my schedule I would really love to fit in SCHOOL! It’s been 5 whole years since I’ve taken a single class.. I sort of miss it and I sort of don’t. I’d really love to take some web design classes, just so I can have it on my resume/qualifications. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I could probably teach an html class if I wanted to Why can’t college be freeeeee?

I applied for FAFSA earlier this year. Apparantly I earn far too much skrilla to get assistance from the government. I have been looking into student loans on the web, talk about a multi-million dollar business. Good lord. They honestly scare the crap out of me. I have friends far older than me, who make way less money than me, who are STILL paying on their student loans. I sooo do not want to be in that boat. If I decide to go back, I will probably just pay for it out of pocket. It’s a partial tax write-off isn’t it?

I Love Monetary Surprises

About a year ago I signed up for an account at epinions.com because they were having a “write 10 reviews and receive 10 dollars” promotion going on. I wrote 10 reviews, but since it takes so many weeks for them to credit your account, I pretty much forgot all about it. Today I was randomly going through my bookmarks and decided to finally login and cash out my whopping $10 :lol: BUT I was pleasantly surprised when I logged in and my account had $20!!! Awww yeah son! Apparantly, they gave me a $10 year end bonus. How sweet is that?

I love November

Guess what? IT IS THE OFFICIAL START OF CHELSEY’S BIRTHDAY MONTH!! Mark your calendars bitches.. the event is coming forth. It must be a coincidence that my birthday falls on “black Friday” this year lol. Who is going shopping by the way? I sure as hell am!! I LOVE black Friday shopping

I have decided that I’m dedicating one of my paypal accounts entireley to funding a $400 Coach “Carly” bag. I think it’s important that every girl owns at least one ridiculously overpriced accessory. So far I have accumulated $40 so I only have $360 to go.. so close yet so far.

Anyways, love ya’ll TTFN!

Compass Bank = Butt Fungus

I hate my bank. Hate it. HATE it.
Teusday night the battery in my car took a poo. So I get a jump and drive to AutoZone. I am at the register and slide my debit card through the little machine and it says DECLINED. I am all “what the eff?” I tried it 3 more times and it kept declining. So I whip out my cellphone and call my bank.
I get one of the high school drop outs we call representatives on the phone and ask “Why is a purchase for $200 declining when I have $2,000 in my account?” and she replied “Well it appears as though your bank card has been closed today for security reasons” and I reply “UGH WHAT? SECURITY REASONS? EXPLAIN PLEASE..” And she proceeds to tell me that she has no further information as to why my bank card was closed and that I would have to call the security department in the morning since its 9pm and they were closed. So I go “okay how am i supposed to pay.. my car battery is dead and the banks are closed, I can’t use an ATM machine since my bank card is effed, they declined my check since its tied to my bank card, I don’t have cash.. so what am I gonna do” and I was basically told that it wasn’t Compass Bank’s problem and I was up shit creek without a paddle and/or life jacket. Luckily I was with Mike and he had cash on him. Otherwise I would have had to steal a battery and my thievery days have long been over lol.
Sooo yesterday morning I call the flippin BANK CARD SECURITY department. They told me that the reason my card was closed was because… GET THIS.. some dude in Alabama got arrested by the FBI with several duplicated Compass Bank cards and mine just happened to be one of them. And the guy was acting like it was no big deal.. kinda brushed it off. I asked him why I wasn’t CALLED or EMAILED or ANYTHINGGG yesterday letting me know and hes like “well we sent you a letter.” OH A LETTER!! GEE THANKS!! Getting a letter next week really does me good when I use my debit card for every freaking purchase I make.
