 Well good morning, good morning. It's about 11 o'clock. My newest video just went live and I am headed out. I have my text appointment this morning. Actually it's this afternoon. It's actually at noon but it's gonna take me a little less than an hour to get there. I'm getting my car started right now and I'm just double checking to make sure that the video posted while I was in the shower. We shall see. Sometimes the internet doesn't want to be my friend. It is here. Woohoo! Alright, wonderful. So you guys will be watching this Wednesday evening. If you watched it right away, the giveaway will go until Saturday at 5 p.m. this upcoming Saturday and it's gonna be hosted on my Facebook page but all the links will be below to that video and it's called the Erin Condor and Seasonal Surprise Box and I'm doing a little giveaway with it. So I'm excited about it but I'm gonna get all my links shared before I step away from the internet here and go get my tax on. I did um sorry I'm like super distracted because I'm like tweeting and stuff. I did get some things ready for possible returns. Just depends on what I see when I'm down in the area. So hopefully I can get a couple of things taken care of. Doyle is like what are you doing? You never leave the house anymore? I don't know but anyway I'm gonna take the camera you guys with me today and hopefully I have some good news of pertaining to the tax situation in a little while. Oh breakfast um to be honest I didn't really, I had like a cup of tea and an apple and that was good enough for me. I've been having like some chapped lip problems. I don't know if you guys can see but when I like brush my teeth I actually brush like the roof of my mouth my tongue and my lips to like exfoliate and they're like so bloody you guys. Like I know it's so gross but um I just put some lip balm on and um hopefully that helps but I did it like yesterday morning yesterday night and like I don't know why it's like this but it's kind of driving me nuts and I think it's because I'm outside a lot and the weather keeps going warmer and then cooler and then warmer and then cooler. So like it hurts my little lip. It's just my bottom lip. My top lip is fine but like my bottom lip like oh it hurts. It like stings a little bit. So yeah no fun but anyways I am gonna see you guys once I'm either at the tax place or on a journey to somewhere else and I'll give you guys a little bit of an update and um yeah that's that's what's going on. Alright so I'm all done at the tax place and I'm so happy. I'm getting a refund. I'm so excited. So yes it was um a little bit more than what I was expecting but um that's a good thing obviously. Um I actually decreased my deductions this year but since I run a lot of things through my LLC with the videos and stuff um it ended up being more than was expected but anyways I'm excited about that especially since I'm in the season of not having a real job. So that's always exciting. I am going to run it's 148 right now. I packed up a few things in the back and um I just um mapped uh TJ Maxx that's over in Brooklyn Center. So I'm gonna run over there because I have something to return it to TJ Maxx. Also I have something to return at Marshall's. I've got Michaels and Bed Bath and Beyond but I think I'm gonna do Michaels and Bed Bath and Beyond a different day. I think I'm gonna do that on Saturday but um we'll see where the day takes me. Also I got a notification on my phone um an email from let's go back hold on um from my UPS store that I have my mailbox at and it says I'm due for renewal and I need to go in. So I think I might hit that on the way back too because it says to come in like by today and I just got this email like yesterday. So anyways um but yeah I need to go and do that as well. So I just need to like pay. So today's gonna be like a big payment day. Oh by the way my taxes um it was $200 to file all of my forms. So it I think she charges by form if I remember right. So that's uh what happens and I'm in Minnesota this entire year this year. So it was a little bit less than last year. I think last year was like 276 or something but I had Minnesota and North Dakota so I think that's what um was going on there. So anyway I'm gonna head to TJ Maxx. I'm gonna stop at Marshall's and do the return and then from Marshall's I'll go to the UPS store get my mailbox paid up and um then head home. That's gonna be the plan and I will see you guys in just a moment. Well howdy friends. I am in the parking lot of my PO box where it is at the UPS store in Blaine and I got some really fun packages and I also have like a bunch of holiday letters and like full confession. I have not been here since the very beginning of December. I know that's horrible but I just I've been working over in St. Cloud so I haven't been like coming down to the cities at all so sorry I'm gonna open these letters when I get home but I wanted to show you guys um the couple boxes that I got. So I got this stripey box and all right so this Etsy shop is named Emile's I think is how you say it. Emile's Emile's shop so um she is just sending some of this stuff out to different YouTubers to get their opinions and thoughts. So super cute. Love the packaging. She has like a little thank you card and then it's got like this cute little black and white stripey box. So she's got a few different sticker sheets in here. All right so this one are some little piggies with a little lock on them which is kind of cute. It says no spend in a variety of different colors and then oh this is cool. This is a grocery budget and it has like a little line item for the amount spent if you're trying to track it. That's really cool and these are on a mat it's like a smooth matte paper so you could probably use any kind of pen and these are just some really nice pastel half boxes. Cool well thank you. I will put this shop down below so you guys can check it out if you would like to. I don't know who sent me this but thank you whoever you are. There is okay so I just figured out who sent this to me. I got a target bag like a target bag at my PO box and they said it arrived today and I'm like well that's really weird. Well I've partnered with Target on certain things but normally they would like email me if they were going to send me something. So I just looked at my the packing slip in here and thank you Yvonne from California, Winchester California to be specific. Oh my gosh this is amazing. All right hold on I gotta like you do some surgery over here. All right I'm trying to open it properly but it's like not working out. So this is what she sent me. Do you guys remember me posting this on Facebook and Instagram? My little bunny with the attitude from Target. I'm so appreciative thank you so much. I am gonna be putting this in my living room as soon as I get home and Doyle is not allowed on this. This is my bunny my new bunny. So thank you so much I'm so excited and you guys don't have to send me things just FYI but I do really appreciate it even though I want to go spend like crazy but I'm not right now. This like totally this totally like tides me over me and my little bunny friend. Anyway um okay so that's it for the PO box. I will talk to you guys in just a little bit. I did pay for the PO box but that's like a business expense so it doesn't really matter how much that is because it's not part of my like budget if you will. I'm only down 200 bucks for the day because of my taxes and I'm getting tax money back and I think that should be coming. She said she has like a lot of her clients have gotten money back um like next week and the week after so like next week I'll probably get the state back and then like the week after I'll probably get federal back which is kind of cool. But anyway people are walking around and driving around and looking at me like I'm a little bit crazy so I think it's time to go home. I need to take Doyle on a walk and I need to eat something because I'm freaking starving so I will see you in a little bit. Bye. Okay so I am home finally took the dog on a walk. My eyes are still like watering a little bit because it's really windy out. Um look at my cute little bunny. There he is. He's got attitude. Whoops oh my gosh I can't move this right. There it goes. Attitude bunny. So cute. Totally my design aesthetic so thank you thank you thank you Yvonne. I really appreciate it. I feel like after the no spend I might need to get another one for right there. The possibilities guys the possibilities. So um just opened up my mail. I got some stuff from the Minnesota unemployment. This doesn't have any personal information on it so I can show it to you. Um but yeah I am gonna go head over there tomorrow and complete my application and get that handled and start applying for some jobs. I've done a little bit of research and I've looked at some places um like in the area here but I haven't found anything that's like my skill set if they know what I mean. So they might be able to help me a little bit further from there. I got my taxes done that's my teal folder and uh yeah I just really enjoy my tax lady. She's really fun. My dad actually used her when he lived here and yes the last year was the first year that I ever had my uh my taxes filed professionally. I have been doing them for however many years of my life because why not? And um yeah I feel I feel like a big girl now but I had a ton of forms last year because I had two states and a bunch of other stuff plus I knew this year like in 2017 um this past year like when you found taxes on this year um I would probably be purchasing a home so I wanted to like get with a tax person.
