life and taxes

[rkt]

so.... i offically declared myself a feminist on my taxes. (why the fuck does my occupation matter? you ask me a stupid question, you're going to get a smart-ass answer.) let them try to audit me; i know i underdeclared my deductions.

but they're off. check to the state and all. i need to fix it so i don't have to pay so much damn money next year. i'd be much happier over-paying and then getting a refund. it works for the federal, but that was so much easier to "fix".

i hate that said check leaves me nearly scraping buckets for a week. but there're worse places to be, i suppose. i AM still going to play bingo! on tuesday. that much is a given.

despite the weather out there, i'm debating on another cooking fest tonight. (it's cheaper.) actually, it's feeling more like a baking fest. and i always lose interest half way through the monotony of pulling cookie trays in and out of the oven. baking them as bars, though, just ain't the same.
also, i have curtains now. a set of three. i sewed one panel, a friend sewed the other two. (these are to replace the blanket that has been sufficing for several years now.) the only thing left to do is to climb up and hang them.

i'm such a litle homemaker.

You'd make a good wife some day if you laid off the "feminist" declarations to the government. :)

yeah.. i know.. someone in one of my nyc communities posted i should THANK the mayor for trying to make it so that if i go and get myself married in canada or massachusettes or wherever, that nyc will recognize the marriage as legal. . . was it in bad-wife behavior to essentially say Fuck That Shit?

Good wives are grateful and rarely curse. Do I need to send you a copy of Fascinating Womanhood? (I have many, so this isn't an idle threat. Good wives aren't idle, either.)

but are their bodies lazy?

i may be beyond being schooled in the proprietaries of proper wife/woman-hood. so it may be a lost cause.

No.

3. Exercise: Exercise is as important as the food we eat in both preserving life and youth and in producing health. You may feel that you have enough exercise in the ordinary activities like walking, bending and reaching. These motions of the body do not bring into play all of the muscles. As a result, many women suffer from poor posture, sagging muscles, fat deposits, and loss of health. If exercise seems like merely an added labor to your already busy schedule, remember that exercise can actually rest a weary person. Calling a different set of muscles into activity refreshes and stimulates the body.

I also rediscovered the "How to Quickly Fall from Your Pedestal" section.

oh, i think i might simply require having my own copy.
i have ever so much to learn.

A final teaser (I should remember to send you a copy by Christmas):

In all periods of time women have needed protection, from dangers, strenuous work, and difficulties of life. In the early history of our country, the very conditions under which people are forced to live made manly protection necessary. There were dangers everywhere. Savage Indians, wild beasts and snakes created situations which called for masculine courage and ability. Women have also needed protection from the heavy work, work which was beyond their capacity - hard labor in the fields, hauling, lifting, and anything requiring masculine strength and endurance.
