Good news, international style. Very glad to hear about this. I hope she doesn't write a book, I hope she just goes back to being a journalist. When Gene and I lived for a short while in northern Virginia, we visited the Newseum and it was almost as delightful as the Rock & Roll Hall of…
Month: March 2006
Early birthday gift for Betty?
She's turning 2 in April. I think she needs one of these. WE definitely need one for her.
Work, lately
I made it to work about 45 minutes early yesterday because I had to take the dogs to the kennel. Since I had that time banked, I got the hell out of dodge 30 minutes early today. (So much for saving it for Friday!). I came into work in a fucking exuberant mood. I'd just…
Nothing New
Still no stupid dress. Ugh. Maybe one more trip to Kohl’s. I almost went tonight but just couldn’t force myself out of my chair. Is today Monday or Tuesday? I think it is Tuesday because I think I deposited my paycheck yesterday (yea, paycheck!). After work yesterday (now I know it’s Tuesday) I went to…
Elaine’s Spring Break 2006

Agggh, HELP ME

Happy Birthday to Me!
So, today’s my birthday. I’m 29. This is my first crack at 29. I intend to repeat a year, possibly more than once. This year, Gene was the first person to wish me a happy birthday. Then, New Boss and assorted BFAs. Then D. There were others, of course, but those were the early ones. D,…
Everyone knows this, but I’m going to say it again
I love my dogs. They are so much fun to play with. They are more fun than the movies or most shopping trips. Coming up in the next few months, we’ll have owned them for two years now. We have saved so much money not going places, I think it’s nearly even with what we…
Interesting, re: child support
I tend to obsess a bit about child support, since I deal with it personally due to the boy and professionally at work, where I am in charge of our garnishment/child support program, so this post on Blogging Baby was especially interesting to me.
Mac n’ Cheese Recipe Gone Wrong…
One-Skillet Chicken & Broccoli We agreed the answer is to just make some frigging chicken breasts, some broccoli and some mac n’ cheese and combine at will.
