The Cheesecake is Rich

So, I just read about this interesting idea elsewhere on the Internet where some people are writing letters to the 20 year old version of themselves. I am also avoiding going to bed even though I have to get up at 6 and told Gene I’d come to bed an hour ago. Therefore, I give [...]

to me: Dear Me, I will stop looking at Las Vegas vacations if you’ll start keeping our cell phone in our purse so we can get calls from (  ::crosses fingers::  ) POSSIBLE FUTURE EMPLOYERS CALLING TO SCHEDULE A SECOND INTERVIEW for MONDAY, which is WEEKS EARLIER THAN THEY’D ORIGINALLY PLANNED. Is your goal to [...]

Sing it with me! “This is my stop! Got to get off! I may go pop! Excuse me…excuse me! I’ve got to beee dirrrrect! If I’m wrong, please correct! You’re standing on my neck!” ~Splendora, “You’re Standing on My Neck” (Daria main theme song) (Why am I the only one singing??) Anyway, so in another [...]

to me… Dear Elaine, Please stop looking at Las Vegas vacations. Your vacation is over. You were there for a freaking week. Yes, all the banner ads on all the websites you visit (at home AND at work…sigh) are for packages for the hotels but that does NOT mean that you should click on them. [...]

I guess it’s been awhile since I posted, huh? That said, my birthday weekend w/ Mom feels like it happened months ago. I think that part of why I haven’t written lately is that I am still upset that Kansas lost to Northern Iowa. I mean, Northern Iowa??? That game happened when Mom was in [...]

I will probably either delete this post or leave it as a draft, but here goes: …I don’t want to wrap Xmas presents. …Or send out Xmas cards. …I almost cancelled our trip up north for Xmas. I didn’t, though, because I really really want to see my family. I even strong armed Gene (well, [...]

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 [...]
