The Cheesecake is Rich

So, I think I now understand why most people don’t stay a week in Las Vegas: After about 4 days, their feet fall off. (I take that back: I am pretty sure my mom could do all the walking I have done today and then go run a mini marathon. As you know, my mother [...]

A real discussion I had at work with D and Stefania: Stefania: Don’t talk to any strange people in Las Vegas! Me: But what if Robert Redford shows up and offers Gene $1 million for a night with me? D: I cannot believe how quickly that came out of your mouth. Something crazy that happened [...]

So, I have to leave for the airport in about 12 hours. Have I packed everything? NO. I have packed nothing. And I just remembered I need to do laundry. I did, however, print off our boarding passes for tomorrow’s air adventures. Actually, I did that at work (shh!!!) immediately after celebrating Gwen’s birthday lunch [...]

1) Go to work tomorrow 2) Resist Googling “How to get stuff cheap in Las Vegas” 3) Process payroll Wednesday 4) Complete the exciting payroll process on Thursday and do as much of the Friday stuff as possible 5) Do laundry. Pack. (Buy small bag of dog food to take to kennel?) Remember hairbrush (it [...]

Okay, so Gene has a work convention in Las Vegas the week after next. He’s leaving on Wednesday Friday. I am 80% sure I am coming with. But here is how my mind is processing this whole thing: OMG, what if Gwen won’t let me have the week off? OMG, what if we price my [...]

So, theoretically we are going to Germany in June/July. Now, flights to Kuala Lumpur were crazy expensive, but we only had to pay for one ticket (mine) since Gene’s lovely employer paid his way. So I keep cruising over to Expedia.com to look at flights and here are my thoughts (because I know you care): [...]

(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 [...]

A year ago I worked a half day to get the paychecks from our payroll provider ready to go out to the stores. I left at 1 and Gene and I took the dogs to the kennel and we finished packing. We were waiting for the car service to take us to the airport but [...]

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 [...]

So I’m writing this from the luxurious TownePlace Suites on 71st St in Indianapolis. I should probably be packing, but Gene’s still asleep so I can’t turn the lights on. Next stop, another Marriott property and the in-laws and a wedding on Saturday (yay!). Indianapolis has been wonderful. Mom and I spent a ton of [...]
