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 [...]

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 [...]

(da-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh-nuh) Well, okay, it’s actually not til Monday, but today was my last day of work. Until Tuesday, anyway (a girl can dream! Told Gene that if we won the lottery I’d be off work a lot longer and that my first phone call would be to Gwen and the second would be to Dr. [...]

(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 [...]

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 [...]

Go Mom! Mom was the big winner on Sploofus a few days ago for the daily “Who the Heck Am I?” quiz. She got the answer right before anyone else. Yay!!!

???? !!!!! ?!?!?!?! Thank heavens for Facebook. And for a husband who is far, far better at empathy than his wife. (And wasn’t mad when we overslept this morning, whoops).

Whooo! It is 1:30 on Monday morning and I am not asleep. This is not good. Tomorrow is going to be a tough day if I don’t get to sleep soon. I blame the 5 pm nap and 20 oz of Diet Pepsi (listen, I had a HEADACHE – unlike on Xmas 2008, at least [...]
