I have no glitz for you, today. No glamour. No grapefruit. No gifts. And sadly, no George Clooney.

What I do have though, is a great feature on USA.gov that will keep you from waiting in long lines, calling from office to office and wandering from website to website looking for the government forms that you need to take care of the business of everyday life: Forms.gov 

Bookmark this baby! The federal forms that you need are all in one place. Type key words in the search box for the forms you're looking for, search forms by the federal agency they come from or search by form number, if you know it. Whatever search method works for you, works for Forms.gov 

Tax day is three months away. Get your forms here.

Are you or your kids college bound and need to apply for student aid? Here's the gateway to the application process.

Ready to apply for Social Security? Here's where you start.

Moving and need to change your address with the post office, your state division of motor vehicles and more? Type "address change" into the Forms.gov search box to help you find all the forms you need.

Traveling and need to renew your passport? Do it by mail using this form.

If you're a farmer, doctor, realtor, civil servant or are in any other position that requires you to keep up with federal forms on the job for everything from safety to licensing to subsidies, Forms.gov is your go-to place.

I'm always looking for ways to consolidate and simplify my life--at home, at work and online. So I'm taking my own advice and bookmarking Forms.gov.

I'm kind of an independent person, to a fault maybe sometimes. But I really value being able to do and figure out things myself too without having to ask for help. I'm so glad the online forms are working out for you!
