Just when I thought it couldn’t get any more annoying, we find a new and inventive way to make my job just a little more ridiculous. Turns out, my boss’s boss wasn’t doing something right about allocated tips (allo’ tips are the tips ‘earned’ when a server doesn’t claim at least 8% of his gross…

It was the best of times, it was…
well, you know. Dream Dinners was a lot of fun. I got there right at 10 (got a little lost – you know me!) and immediately got down to it. One of the things that worried me was that I tend to be a little pokey and slow and I was scared I’d annoy people…

A’skeered…
Tomorrow is my long awaited session at Dream Dinners down in Cheesecake City. But now I’m skeeered. What if all the other girls know each other and I’m the only one in normal clothes who isn’t wearing makeup or a 4 carat rock? Accccck. What the hell was I thinking?? I can just see me…
Awesome-O! (The Conclusion…?)
So, apparently the vet’s office actually listens to their voicemail!! Score one! They called about quarter til 8 this morning re: Awesome-O. About ten minutes later, a man calls so he can retrieve his dog… Awesome-O! (No, actually, Bennie). He’s not here yet but I’m sure he’ll show up soon. I love it when things…
Awesome-O!
So, Gene had the car today so he could go to the closing of our re-fi. (Yes, we finally ditched our awful interest only mortgage). He picked me up from work and we drove down the highway but exited 3 miles before our exit. Hmmm. We drive around a neighborhood for no aparent reason. This…
One more quick ramble…
(that last post got a little goofy, eh?) Am I the only one who totally digs that “Home” song by Michael Buble? (the DJ pronounces it Boob-BLAY, but I say “Bubbly” to try and hide my shame at liking a song you can buy on a CD at a Hallmark store). Generally, I dislike the…
I Ain’t Got Nobody!
Gene’s in VA. Dogs are at the kennel. CAR is still in shop. So, internet, it’s just you, me and the Altima. I take back my earlier dismissal of the Altima. While I’m still relieved I didn’t buy one, it’s kind of fun to drive a car with a little pep. The Murano is too…
Movie Reviews
1) Brokeback Mountain : ***1/2 out of 4. I enjoyed it very much. I was impressed at how quiet and spare it was. There were a lot of gay cowboy jokes out there because of the movie. It was the point of the movie, but I didn’t feel it was especially overstated. Effing A, it…
So, on the topic of Plan B…
Gene and I were talking yesterday night and he said the most surprising thing: He said that he had thought about eliminating the rest of the waiting time to start the whole Plan B thing (mekkin’ zee bebbies). He admitted that his motivations were the absolute worst: he was hoping that Plan B would come…
