The Cheesecake is Rich

So. I was very good and did not spend ANY money on Black Friday (it helps that I was working from 9-5, so I didn’t even think of trying midnight shopping again). (Not that I would have, actually, as Gene made it clear that he did midnight shopping once and would never do it again). [...]

“People go just where they will I never noticed them until I got this feeling that it’s later than it seems” So, I am generally – and by generally, I mean since I was 12 years old – a fan of Don Henley. However, lately – and by lately, I mean in the last few [...]

???? !!!!! ?!?!?!?! Thank heavens for Facebook. And for a husband who is far, far better at empathy than his wife. (And wasn’t mad when we overslept this morning, whoops).

100% batshit crazy and there are no two ways about it. Cuh-ray-zee, people. I just spent a ridiculous amount of the day obsessing about saving money. A good thing, right? Not if it’s on stuff I don’t need! (Well, OK, “don’t need” is debatable in this case but just wait) So, I hate cleaning. I [...]

So I saw Dr. P Monday. First of all, ob/gyn offices should have two waiting rooms: one for the Knocked Up and one for the Not Knocked, because sitting there surrounded by gestating ladies just makes me sad. Anyway. Dr. P clearly has his head up his own ass. He complimented me on losing weight* [...]

to help plan my funeral, please do not play weepy country songs, OK? Just play one or both of the following: 1) the “na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!” song 2) the song from the Vonage commercial (the one that goes “Woohoo, woohoohoo!”) And perhaps Leonard Cohen’s song “Closing Time” just for good [...]

I need to work harder lying about my age. Gene and I are watching “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” and there is a scene with Justin Long (the guy who plays Mac in the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads) and Seth Rogen (the titular “Zack”) and Gene says, “There is no way [...]

So, I took a mental health afternoon today. TMI alert, by the way. The cycle of Clomid didn’t have the desired effect and I don’t know why and frankly, it was just too depressing. So, when Gene said “Why don’t you take the afternoon off?” I decided that he had a good idea. We went [...]

(aka: My Mom Visits Cheesecake City) (I swear I’ll make it up to Indiana again…no later than October, I swear) Anyway, Mom is here and we are having a great time! We took her to lunch at the Thai restaurant near the house then we hung out at home and watched a little CNN (as [...]

Apparently I haven’t written anything in nine days. Sorry. Gene’s home from NJ, supposedly for good. Mom arrives for a 4 day weekend o’ fun tomorrow at noonish. Work is fine, a little stressful. I haven’t taken more than 2 or 3 real lunch hours in weeks. At the rate I’m going, the Target store [...]
