No, it’s not some wacky game that I’ll be playing a la Matt Lauer. I just wanted to offer a quick word of explanation since I’ve been a little bit absent this past week… It’s a combination of my daughter’s illness, my own bout with a bug and the general ramp up for tax season,…
Wow, what a tax year it has been! Thanks to Richard Hatch, Joe Francis, and all of the lovely banks who participated in TARP, it was a record year on taxgirl. All total, there were 3,453 comments (not counting spam and crazy/offensive people who had their smack deleted) on 691 posts. But what did you…
I’m almost finished compiling my list of the top ten most popular taxgirl posts of 2009. Just one day left to go. But as we wrap up the year, I’m curious: What do you think topped the list as the most read post of the year? I’ll tell you the answer tomorrow. And if there’s…
You like me! You really like me! I’ve recently been recognized by a few other blogs and pubs and I’ve been terribly remiss with my thank yous. So, indulge me for a minute or two… Thanks to the ABA Journal for my nomination as a best legal blog for 2009. And thanks to those of…
The holiday season is in full swing at our house. The tree is up, we’ve bought more wrapping paper since we, of course, can’t find the paper we bought last year and we have so many varieties of Domino sugar in the pantry that you’d think we own stock in the company. We ended the…
I was pretty psyched to find out that I’ve been nominated by the ABA Journal as one of the Top 100 Legal Blogs for the second year in a row (insert lots of girly screaming here). Many thanks to the ABA Journal for including me on the list alongside some of my blogging heroes… And…
About a year ago, I was notified by the ABA Journal that my blog was nominated as one of the top 100 legal blawgs for 2008. I was, needless to day, extremely honored. One of my colleagues in Pennsylvania, Neil Hendershot, wrote about my nomination, including some really kind commentary. He also suggested his own…
I’m a little all over the map these days. I’ve been lucky to be asked to write guest posts for a number of high quality sites. I’ve really enjoyed it because writing about tax is just so much fun for me (hey, stop laughing). So, it was extremely flattering and very exciting to be asked…
It’s my birthday, too, yeah. So, in honor of the day, in the tradition of bloggers everywhere, I present ten things you may not know about me… I share a birthday with actress Jill Whelan. She and I have much in common: she starred in one of my favorite movies, Airplane!, and the wildly popular…
Taxpayer asks: I love your blog! I’m a practicing attorney and also a mom, like you. I’ve been thinking about starting my own blog. After reading through your posts, I have two questions: 1) Do you sleep?2) Do you write your own posts? Thanks, and keep up the good work. Taxgirl says: *blushing* Thanks so…
