The Cheesecake is Rich

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, seven years ago today Gene and I got married. Just about everyone who reads this blog was there and like I said on Facebook, I am so thankful that everyone I love in the world was there. I have the pictures to prove it This time 7 years ago, Gene and I sat at [...]

So, yesterday I had to lower everybody’s pay rates. Mine, the Almighty D’s, Gwen’s, Stefania *and* her Toady’s. Everyone. Managers I like, managers I hate. It hurt so bad to do that. I thought I might take a little glee when I lowered our Bonus Controller’s, but no.  I folded the report so I could [...]

So far today, I have… Slept until 20 until 9 (I know this is not getting me any sympathy from any of you!) Eaten brunch! (Yum!) Gone to the grocery store! (So close to keeping it under $100! Damn you, 2 for $6 queso!) Swept and mopped kitchen floor! (The Boy’s mom did this every [...]

So, back in the day I had a Speak and Spell and a Speak and Math (or whatever the math version of the Speak and Spell was called*). I credit the Speak and Math with my ability to do simple math in my head. (I also credit my mother’s handy memory tricks such as “Refrigerator [...]

For dinner tonight I’m eating a frozen meal. It is “Lemongrass Coconut Chicken” by Kashi and it smells exactly like I remember Malaysia smelling. (Yes, I’m back on that topic). Oh, the smell makes me want to go back, so badly. It must just be my mood right now but… it makes me want to [...]

So, today I have… …perused Petfinder.com for dog #3 …purchased CVS brand home pregnancy tests (BOGO until Saturday, woot!). (I generally operate under the rule “To make it rain, get your car washed.”) …been wished a Happy Mother’s Day approximately a jillion times. Ha ha, yes, I am a real mutha’. (hee)

First, I could have sworn I posted recently. Wrong! Anyway, can you believe I had a four day weekend last week and still couldn’t get my act together here on my site? Yes! Really! It was a very nice staycation (was supposed to be a way better real vacation to Florida but that was cancelled [...]

Hmm. So it is the end of the first week of April and I’m not finished  with my $500 annual insurance deductible. Last year I polished it off by Valentine’s Day. Should I be glad that I haven’t had to visit doctors as often this year or annoyed that Blue Cross has gotten off scot [...]

So, the NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament has started and this is the third year in a row that I’ve filled out the bracket on Yahoo. Let’s all take a moment to remember that I know almost NOTHING about basketball (I attended many, many Purdue basketball games as a child, but mostly for the copious amounts [...]
