BONJOUR TAX DAY!!!

Don't U wish U were there today..?
Instead of here?
*Note Bear is guarding envelopes waiting for mon Oncle Sam.
The clock is going tik tok tik tok!!!
Piles of green headed out the door today...
Have you ever been to Pierre Herme at 6:45 pm on a Saturday?
That's my bank account tomorrow...
M T :) Yeah, I'm seeing RED!
And my appetite!
I keep checking the fridge...
Anything to avoid signing checks...
I'm looking for something fruity...
But I'd settle for MacDo's at this point...
(if it was in Paris)
R U in the same boat?
My heart goes out 2 U.
I guess we'll all be good boys and girls and do our taxes on time...ahem
I'm gonna hit it with my best shot...
So I can celebrate later.
BONJOUR TAX DAY!!!

  5. Very clever post, Carole! Bien sur! Who wouldn't rather be in Paris than at the computer?
    I do my taxes in February...stopped procrastinating long ago. I am going to Yoga, gardening and enjoying the sunshine today.

  7. Very cute post, Carol! I stopped off at the Post Office and mailed my tax returns this morning. Nothing like down to the wire, eh?

    Happy taxes--you made me smile anyway, cutie.

  10. This one time I'd rather be in the US, what with that nasty volcanic ash spreading eastward from Iceland. Word is that even Paris might have to close its airports (that stuff can't be healthful to inhale, either, and Bear might even need a bath after the ash has passed).

    Taxes went in the mail this AM: no matter how careful the planning, we wind up overpaying during the year, then getting a refund (with no interest, of course). Would rather have the money up-front!

    As a new follower of your blog, I must say, you've simply inspired me to make MACAROONS! YUM :)

  15. I am praying for a big tax refund for you!
    That way we get many more laughs out of such depressing events like the 15th of April.
    Merci for the smiles,

    "Don't be jealous of my boogie!" says Ru Paul.

    Thank goodness I do my taxes ahead of time, all the time. It's such a chooooooore.
