Happy Birthday to Me!

This one snuck up on me. Normally I have plans set and all sorts of fun ready to go for my birthday, but not this year. Too much going on: the wedding, a trip to Europe, a trip to Puerto Rico, a softball tournament, work, just too much going on. It's a big one too: 4-5. Interesting how a birthday can just sneak up on you like that.

Other things are occupying my mind as well. This time of year leads to a lot of cash expenditures and moving money around....large sums of money. Being self employed, I make my Individual 401k contribution and SEP IRA contributions, pay estimated taxes for this year and my final tax payment for last year! Toss in a $7,000 bill from the Bears for season tickets and it's an expensive spring. Oh AND I'm buying into a company, so that's another cash use. None of it is necessarily bad or unexpected, but it's just a cash crunch that forces me to think about my asset deployment, which is probably also a good thing.

Dinner tonight is Indian food up on Devon with LL! It's a BYOB called Hema's Kitchen. Looking forward to it!!
