The Cheesecake is Rich

Yesterday, I woke up with a headache. Took some Aleve and went back to sleep. Woke up again at 8:30 (when I have to leave for work), decided my headache had taken a detour for Migraine City and called in sick for work. Five minutes later I texted Denise: “Home w/ migraine. Tell me it’s [...]

So! Over the weekend I had an email from a local deal of the day site with an offer for $20 worth of goodies from the spice shop for $10. (The spice shop is pretty nice and it’s located across the street). (Yes, I’m excited about a coupon for a spice shop. Leave me alooooone). [...]

I’m having one of those moments where I wish we still used credit cards because I would go crazy buying things that I want and may or may not actually need. Cute boots (Elaine, but you don’t WEAR boots, you idiot!), goorrrrgeous handbag (Elaine, you need another purse like you need a hole in your [...]

It’s Sunday afternoon, isn’t it? Dammit. Can I have more time off please? Can I perhaps trick Gene into letting me be a stay at home dog owner? This past week off was really lovely (even though in my heart of hearts I would rather have been in Las Vegas, dammit) and I am so [...]

1) The word “stuff” makes me think of the word “stuf” as in Double Stuf Oreos. Mmm. I have also tried the Trader Joes version, the Joe-Joe, which is also good. I wonder if I can talk Gene into making a return trip to Trader Joes on Saturday after we drop the dogs at the [...]

You know what’s rewarding (in a “crazy sociopath” way)? Finding the Wikipedia page for the girl who was annoying in elementary school, a ‘mean girl’ in junior high, and (a) practically perfect (gigantic bitch) and editing it to remove the really self congratulatory stuff.

Oh, Labor Day weekend, please go on forever. Please don’t end. I love you, please stay. Put your feet up, I’ll get you a cold drink, just please…don’t…end. I can’t go back to work and you’re my only hope.

So, I felt weird all morning, kinda dopey and sleepy. (Yes, I probably took the Ambien too late last night; tonight I’ll take it when I walk in the door at 6:30 and let the pieces fall where they may). So, when I was sitting at my chair and felt a gentle tremor, my first [...]

let’s talk about seeing Former Boss Gwen at the bookstore. It’s a funny story. Please don’t recommend that I should be institutionalized, OK? So, I was sitting in a fast food drive through one Sunday afternoon. I’d gone…somewhere (library? mall?)…and promised Gene I’d bring him home a drink. I’m staring off in the distance while [...]

Point #1: Just enjoy the fact that you do not desperately NEED any appliances and stop window shopping for them. You’ll need a new fridge, dishwasher and dryer soon enough but probably not all at the same time (Sears 20% off 3 appliances sale be damned).
