Taxes, yay?

There is a very real possibility that we might be getting over 5K back in taxes. (This is due to Joe being deployed most of last year and helped along by Ellie's birth.) I'm not sure why getting *your own* money back from the government always feels like such a gift but it does. That, plus the unexpected escrow refund check that is coming has me feeling positively rich. (Except none of it is actually here yet.) Anyway, I did our taxes on Turbotax that other night and that was the number I came up with. We are going to have an accountant do the real taxes, though, because there's all this complicated business stuff involved this year, so I will have to wait a bit. Still, I am currently spending in my mind. It's more fun this way because you can do it over and over.

So, what would you do with $5,000 that came out of the blue?
