The Cheesecake is Rich

So, I am here in Indianapolis, partying with my niece G-Dawg and her entourage (doting parents and grandparents). It is SO awesome to be the aunt, especially the childless aunt of the out of town variety. It means that if for some reason Gwen needs something, I can pass her to her entourage (usually Turtle*) [...]

Someday I’m going to start a category here called “Things I would have blogged if I had a smart phone”. I imagine that I’ll do this the day before I acquire a phone that will get me to the internet. Yesterday’s annoyances: 1) Got to work early, but later than I’d planned since I was [...]

First, I see that WordPress version 3.0 is available. Hold me, I’m scared. Oh, how I hope they will let me upgrade automatically. If this blog disappears sometime this weekend, assume that I had to do the tech stuff myself. Please light a candle for me Second, I wonder what Gene plans to cook for [...]

Going to Indiana from approximately June 30-July 4. Yay! (However, I am not going to Arkansas as my grandfather’s wife’s granddaughter and her family are visiting right before I’d be there and that’s a lot of stress). (I will get to Arkansas, I WILL).

So I’m an aunt again – my first niece! Macauley/Bill and his wife Michelle had their daughter on Sunday evening. 7 lbs, 3 oz, 20 1/4 inches. Brown hair, eyes are TBD. YAY!!!!! I have seen a few pictures on Michelle’s Facebook and the happy family are adorable! Can’t wait to meet her!

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 [...]

(Back home aaaagaaaain, in Cheesecake Ciiiiity) Anyway! We just walked in the door from our trip to the Frozen North (and Frozen it was – it snowed in both IN and OH), so now I feel safe in promoting that we weren’t home the whoooole time. Highlights: In Indiana, we hung out at Mom and [...]

Nothing new on the baby front – one of us kinda freaked the eff out about actually paying for the care n’ upkeep of a Small Person, so the other of us is just Not Thinking About It But Hopes For Better News in Early 2010. (Oh, and one of us respectfully requests no Plan [...]

Please update your Amazon.com wishlists. (This means you, Mom and Michelle!)

So, I’m in Ohio right now. (Please do not rob my house). At some point this year, I decided that I wanted to take a full week off work and do the Indiana and Ohio visits and :: theatrical sniff :: I deserved a FULL week of vacation, complete with BOTH weekends so I would [...]
