Also why am I still awake and its 1:30 in the fucking morning?
The good news is actually got started on our taxes on turbotax. My initial numbers indicate we are getting a refund of between $500 - $1000. Not bad with my estimating!
I can't wait for next year when I can finally itemize deductions again thanks to my house purchase in November. Now that will be glorious. I should get like a $5K refund then if I continue to withhold at the same amount.
I'm very envious of people with enormous savings/investments. I'm channeling that envy into being more financially savvy/frugal this year. Day 2, and I'm going strong :-p
I have a lot of random strangers tell me they're jealous of my height. They have no idea what they're wishing for. That, or the fact that I'm seemingly popular for nothing on this board. Like Kim K, minus the sex tape.

Oh, I am envious of your height!
Let's trade for a day. I am only 5 feet tall. I went for my annual exam last week and the nurse told me I was exactly 60 inches. That means I shrunk half an inch over the last year.
I am envious of people who can sing, dance, and not suck at sports.
I have the best husband in the history of the universe, so I'm sure people are envious once they realize that fact. Like, "My husband is awesome. WAIT A SECOND- is Willisaurus's husband more awesome? Well, shit."
I am envious of people who can be happy in the present. I am too focused on the future and what will make me happy then.
I think (well, have been told) that people are envious of my packaged life: good husband, adorable child, great job, cute house, nice cars, and generous savings. I don't appreciate what I have enough.

I'm jealous of a lot of things; people who are naturally athletic and trim, people with bigger bank accounts, people whose job doesn't give them insomnia.
I have a few friends who I know envy he charmed life my husband and I have right now: house, easy baby, job opportunities.
People who have lots of family to watch their child - I don't mind paying for sitters but my dad is the only one that can watch DS and lives four hours away so we can't just do a night or weekend away easily.
People who have naturally straight hair (the kind that dries straight without having to blow dry it), people who are effortlessly stylish and just have a natural eye for what looks good, and people whose hair is not greying(!).
What do I have that someone else might want? I'm naturally thin. I've been eating pasta and German chocolate cake for two weeks straight and somehow I've still managed to loose five pounds. I think I'm actually starting to get near scrawny and need to watch it (I'm 5'7 and 115 lbs. I think I look better closer to 120).
I also find it pretty easy to lose weight. I hadn't realized it was such a struggle for other people until I started reading these boards. I used to think it was just a matter of eating less/exercising more and now I realize it's more complicated than that for a lot of people.
I envy all you super tall people. I'm 5'2"..what I wouldn't give to be even 5'8" haha.
People envy my skinny ass. I'm a size 00/XS and I eat a lot...specifically junk food (loooove Oreos and ice cream) though it probably helps that salty and greasy foods make me feel sick and bloated so I stay away from it.

That's funny because I have that straight hair but I curl it every time I go out. My hair is so straight that it looks lifeless if I don't curl it. And if it's just a little bit humid outside, most of the curls fall out. I envy people who have natural loose curls.
People with good paying and or fulfilling jobs. My job pays shit & I get treated like crap. Used to be fulfilling but now it's just hell. My kid sttn like 95 percent of the time since 8 weeks. Yeah people tell me there jealous of that.

People without student loans. We have no consumer debt besides our mortgage. DH's ginormous SL is the monkey on our back we're aggressively trying to pay off.
People envy we can fly anywhere for free on a whim.

Really? I've always liked being a petite 5'2". Especially when I was younger. I felt like I had a larger dating pool than my tall friends. Plus, there's usually more cute stuff left in small sizes on sale racks.
