The Cheesecake is Rich

Uhoh. I think the crazy is seeping in again. Let me start this story over (lest my family consider having me committed): So (and that’s better already, that I’m starting this wacky tale with “So”), Rite-Aid stores here have these machines outside of them called the Pepsi Dream Machine. Basically, they are gigantic machines that [...]

So, the washing machine has been acting weird the last couple months. The gizmo inside of it that knows when the water is cold no longer functions (well, or something like that). So, no water comes out. Yay. (Wait, water’s necessary to wash clothes? Boo, then). Anyway, until Monday the water would eventually come out [...]

Yes, I know how to spell* D-I-L-E-M-M-A. About 40% of the time on Babycenter the word gets misspelled as “dilemna” and it always makes me cringe. Where do these dingbats get an “N” sound??? So anyway, I have a dilemma. At my new job, I will have 2 weeks of vacation a year (plus sick [...]

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. [...]

1) Go to work tomorrow 2) Resist Googling “How to get stuff cheap in Las Vegas” 3) Process payroll Wednesday 4) Complete the exciting payroll process on Thursday and do as much of the Friday stuff as possible 5) Do laundry. Pack. (Buy small bag of dog food to take to kennel?) Remember hairbrush (it [...]

Okay, so Gene has a work convention in Las Vegas the week after next. He’s leaving on Wednesday Friday. I am 80% sure I am coming with. But here is how my mind is processing this whole thing: OMG, what if Gwen won’t let me have the week off? OMG, what if we price my [...]

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 [...]
