Taxes...Yuck!

Once a year for a few glorious months all Americans experience the same stressful ritual....Taxes.
*sigh*

We all wait in small stuffy offices in uncomfortable chairs to see a tax agent!  Da da dom!
We wait holding our small W-2s that showcase our worth for the year.  Which usually is either a pleasant surprise or utterly depressing.  I can promise that even if you have an appointment schedule you are still going to wait over that by about 20 minutes or so. The waiting rooms are normally filled with people who try to make pleasant conversation; but you can tell that just like you their mind is really focused on the W-2 in their hands.  

Finally you get called back and you are greeted by your tax agent!  At this point my nerves are doing jumping jacks; and my head is saying, 'Run for the door you can make it!'  However, my feet just follow the tax agent to a small desk.  Stupid feet!  The agent is pleasant and you hand them the W-2.  At this point there is usually not much talking as the Agent sets to work.  They plug in numbers to insane forms that look like they could have been inspired by ancient hieroglyphics.  Finally they either smile at you or sigh!  Believe me you want the smile!  The Smile means money back!  Yay!  The sigh means you have to pay in!  Lame!

If you are getting money back now comes the time to decide how you want it and how much you have to pay the tax agent for understanding the hieroglyphic forms.    I always have found it annoying that you have to pay for a check!
If you have to pay in you are given options on how to do that....how sweet of them to give you some options, right?
Then you are given a bagillion forms that will need your signature in a bagillion different places!  I always feel like I am signing my life away!
Then you are given a thick packet with instructions on what to do on either receiving your check or sending in your check!
Then its over!  You survived!  You did it again!  yay! :)

I got inspired!

I just watched a very good movie called Julie & Julia.  To me it was an inspirational movie about cooking, blogging, and life....and while I don't cook....ANY...it inspired me to revisit my attention starved blog.

To all out there in cyber space, my name is Karessa.  Most can't pronounce it, so I usually go by Kaye, my short and sweet middle name.

I am a mom first and foremost!  I have an adorable little boy!  I am happily married to a wonderful man who has high visions as well.  He is an indy wrestler and is working on breaking into the wrestling entertainment world.  I have a great....a great BIG family!  That is loving and nosy.  Wonderful traits if you ask me!

I am a geek, a gamer, and a "hooker"!  STOP THOSE DIRTY THOUGHTS!  lol!
I am a crocheter, aka a hooker.  My weapon of choice is a hook and a bolt of yarn.  With this the possibilities are endless.  Give me an hour and I can give you a wide range of delightful creations.

Glitter the Octopus Buddy!  

I also sew!  I make wrestling gear, dolls, hip clothes, and cosplay outfits!  (Hey I told yall I was a geek!)

Right now my current projects are:

1. An awesome Falcon inspired blanket
2. A super cool 7 star hat
3. Two pairs of wrestling pants that need a bit of patching.
4. And of course my daily RANDOM project! :)

I don't like to use patterns & if I do use one I modify the crap out of them!

I like to be original!  This girl is NOT a cookie cutter!

Well I just wanted to tell yall a little more about me!
I am going to update often so please feel free to leave comments now and in the future!
I LOVE feedback!

Promoting and creating!

I must say that learning to promote is almost as important at being good at your craft and go hand in hand.
