The Cheesecake is Rich

Saturday I worked from 10-5 and then went to Target (yeah, some boycott…).  I made it home about 7:40, took an Ambien soon after and woke up sprawled on the dog bed in the living room about midnight. Sunday, I went to the mall with Denise and bought some cute clothes and went out for [...]

I’m having one of those moments where I wish we still used credit cards because I would go crazy buying things that I want and may or may not actually need. Cute boots (Elaine, but you don’t WEAR boots, you idiot!), goorrrrgeous handbag (Elaine, you need another purse like you need a hole in your [...]

1. What did you do in 2011 that you’d never done before? The only thing I can think of is that I really started to follow Twitter. I don’t Tweet that often but it’s very interesting. Ooh, and I also started texting. I love my smartphone! 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and [...]

So, here’s what I did on my Xmas Long Weekend (WAHOO I HAD THREE DAYS OFF FROM WORK…BOO-YA!!!) (Srsly, did I tell you that I almost cried when I found out I had 12/26 off from work?) Anyway. 12/23: Only had to work until 5. Stayed until 5:09 – I win! Gene and I went [...]

So, here is a sample of what I’ve been up to this month: 1) We had our bedroom repainted and now it’s a beautiful blue color. The doors and windowsills are a warm creamy color (that looks a tinny bit pinkish in some lights). 2) The other night I came home and the guy from [...]

Not because I care if my own paycheck is +/- 2.0% but because they’re talking about continuing this credit for two months. Two months. Not an entire quarter??? This is going [...]

So. I totally just spent the last hour falling into a YouTube hole watching/listening to all of the songs on my “Acceptable Xmas Songs” post from 2006 and updating the links on my original post to the YouTube links (mostly for no good reason, but at least annually I review this post to remind myself that [...]

(Ha ha, punny spelling) Did I tell you that Scooby has scabies? I think I did. He does. Did I tell you that Sadie Pot Pie is heart worm positive? No, because we just visited the vet this morning before work. (What fun, spending every dime I made today before 9 AM). Well, OK, Sadie [...]

Yes, its time for another serving of Tales of Little LaineyD… 20 years ago, my mom and I went to see Fleetwood Mac perform in Indianapolis. Except for the shoes, I remember every stitch I had on. Before the show we had dinner at the restaurant attached to the venue, where we had the honor [...]

This year, what am I thankful for? I’m thankful for my husband. This year has been tough but it’s on the upswing. I’m hopeful that this holiday season will be  the best one in the last few years. I’m thankful for my job. I’m pretty sure I won’t retire from Big Payroll, but it’s ok [...]
