Hmmmm....Have I Mentioned????

Have I mentioned lately that I hate the IRS? If I haven't.....I really don't like the IRS. We have a family high deductible health plan which entitles us to have a health savings account (HSA). Apparently it is against the law to have a joint HSA, even though the health insurance is joint and even though both of us can write checks from the HSA account for health-related expenses. So, in the infinite wisdom of the IRS (not!!!), because I am the primary name on the HSA account, my DH (Darling Husband, Dear Hubby, Damned ... Damn Him - all depending on mood, time of day, and events pending) cannot put in a legitimate "catch-up" donation to the HSA account because I would not qualify for this donation for another year. Have I mentioned that I hate the IRS?

So, today, my DH (pick your own definition) gets to go to the bank and open his own HSA account - because, of course, we aren't allowed to have a joint account. Then he can deposit this additional contribution into his own account. In the meanwhile, I got to live through his temper tantrum about the idiocy of the policy for three hours last night. He's not my Dear Hubby right now....

On a more positive note, I had a very productive day at the kiln yesterday. Finished my color strips for my opaque colors so I'm looking forward to starting work on my 3-D pieces next week and maybe getting to start work on my transparent color strips. It was so nice to have some kiln time, although I can already tell that working at my kiln during the summer will be a very hot experience. I'm still looking forward to it though. It's just SO much fun!!!
