The Cheesecake is Rich

Har. Not as elaborate as last year, but it still got me…for a minute! (No details, trust me).

Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day. (Dammit, I just remembered that I need to change the air filters tomorrow). Gene looooves April Fool’s Day. Last year he called me from Bumfuck, Kansas (look on a map, it’s right there) to say he’d been arrested and that he needed me to Western Union bail money. Dork. He [...]

When I said I’d put a post written by Gene on the blog? And then 26 days passed and I hadn’t done it yet? Well, HERE! (And please remember that Maaahhh Huzzband is a lifetime member of the NRA).  OK, read the article above first.  I’m not going to rehash everything in there, but comment [...]

(Today is my 30 29 30th birthday). (I really am the same OLD girl I used to be!) And it was actually a damn fine birthday! First person to wish me a Happy Birthday was my sweet huuuuusband (for some reason, whenever I say “my husband” it sounds like some sort of Steel Magnolias reject). [...]

So, much like the Cosby Show in its waning years, I’ve been debating bringing in a new character…and what a character he is: He is also the sweet man I married (psst, when I put something in the “Sweet Things My Husband Has Done” category, he’s the “My Husband”!). (OK, FINE, I stole the idea [...]

OMG! Gene may have to make a business trip to a certain country that is the home of the Beatles, the Queen and Bridget Jones. OMG. And I may get to go with. I am NOT joking. Gene may also have to make a business trip to a certain country that is home to curry, [...]

Nothin’ doing here in the Cheesecake City. Next week sometime will be the TEN YEAR anniversary of when Gene and I met for the first time. TEN YEARS. That’s like, a second fourth (?) grader. I wrote in Gene’s card that the last ten years have gone by in the blink of an eye and [...]

Gene’s morning meeting begins with music. Actually, what he does is turns the iPod to something non-threatening (this is a concern as his iPod play list includes a lot of songs that are typically under the banner of “Pole Anthems”) and cranks it up. Today’s first selection was “Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl” (speaking of, [...]

So, recently Gene has been hopped up about wanting to visit St. Louis, MO. It was a real puzzle to me. Why St. Louis? It’s around 16 hours away and I wasn’t especially excited about taking vacation time to go there. And for some reason, he was insistent upon visiting over one specific time period [...]

BTW, while en route from Indianapolis yesterday I found another thing to appreciate about Detroit (besides my friend Julie): The Peanut Butter & Jelly restaurant at the airport. Really. I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich at the gate in Detroit. The specialty of the house was peanut butter and bacon on cinnamon raisin [...]
