Dang, I am going to put a twist on this cycle's LOA.

My goal was to get all the utilites paid up until December and then work all the little things until then-I am almost there.

The other plus is that I had saved a nice little bit of money -not much - that would keep me in a "safe mode".

I got a letter today from the state saying I made an error on my past tax return and owed them money.

This pretty much took care of the little bit I saved and I was ticked off at first, but, if I hadn't looked ahead and begun to save, I would have been screwed for the amount.

So, I am not looking at this as a 'loss'. I am glad I had 'abundance' enough to pay the whole thing off, I just have to work a little harder to replace it....

I know that the LOA works to surprise a person with good things, but am I stretching the rules by looking at it in the way I did?

Please, Let me know if I am right?
