Weekend Scoop: Canada, Taxes and More

by Kay Lynn

I spent a few days in the prairies of Canada this week.  Besides the temperature being drastically different than San Diego (duh, right?), it was a good trip.  However, I have one unanswered question.  Why are Canadians so darn nice?

Is that the light at the end of the tunnel .. or uhhh ..?

Is it in the water or air?  Because if I lived in that cold, I think I’d be cranky.  Even the immigration folks who always have to review the contract are super nice.

Tax Returns and Giveaway

Mr. Boomer and I will be working on our tax returns this weekend which will be so much fun (much eye-rolling is going on as I write this).  If you’re a procrastinator like me, I have one more H&R Block code to give away.  Leave a comment on this post and I’ll select the winner via And The Winner is… plugin on Tuesday, April 12th at 5 pm Pacific.
