The Cheesecake is Rich

(or, Holy Hell, Academy – did you have to increase the Best Picture Nominees to 10?)
So, the movie theater showed all 10 Best Picture nominees today and last Saturday. If you’re thinking that’s a lot of movies, you are absolutely correct. If you’re also thinking, “Just how long does that take?” the answer is 20 [...]

taxes. We got our tax return back today. We get a small refund from the state and that is a good thing. Perhaps we can sign the check directly over to the IRS because we owe the Feds. I think it was mostly the lowered amount of federal tax deducted due to the Making Work [...]

So, the good thing that happened yesterday is that I picked up my new glasses. I was going to take a picture of myself in them but after I figured out the webcam thingie on White Dog, it turns out I have about 5 chins. So, no pictures for you!
(How is it possible that I [...]

I had a job interview this morning. I met with three people, including the woman who (I think) would have been my direct supervisor. I think it went really well, although they insisted on asking all those goofy non-questions like “Tell me about a time you had to resolve a conflict and what you learned [...]

It’s Friday (actually, it just turned Saturday). I did it. I survived the week. An entire week sick. I only missed work 1.5 days (I ended up working 4 hours on Tuesday), although I could not feel my face for part of Wednesday. I don’t know why, although I think that Mucinex (and only getting [...]

So, theoretically we are going to Germany in June/July. Now, flights to Kuala Lumpur were crazy expensive, but we only had to pay for one ticket (mine) since Gene’s lovely employer paid his way. So I keep cruising over to Expedia.com to look at flights and here are my thoughts (because I know you care):
1) [...]

Not that you asked, but…
home sick today. It all started Friday with some minor barfyness which I thought was a fun side effect to the generic Zoloft (? Paxil?) that Dr. J prescribed for me. By midday Saturday I was not a happy girl and after a 100% disastrous Valentine’s Day not-dinner (loooong story involving [...]

1) So, I still get coupons from Huggies and Enfamil. Do you think that when a person turns 80 all of a sudden they end up on the mailing list for Depends?
2) I was reading my shampoo bottle today. I am using EverPure Volume Shampoo and Conditioner. (It is fine, BTW). Supposedly it is specially [...]

So, the dogs needed flea treatment. We use Frontline Plus (we used a new pill flea treatment, which I loved for its ease but hated the cost). I bought a 3 pack (1.5 months worth for two dogs) at Petco for $62. I’d been pricing it online and I thought that seemed high, but I [...]

Reading a recipe called “Mom’s Mac & Cheese” – MY Mom’s Mac & Cheese came in a box claiming to be the cheesiest, so whose mom wrote this?
