So, I have two words I am currently using way too much: 1) Devastating, as in “The last thirty minutes of Atonement were devastating” or “OMG, the ending of that Carly Simon song was devastating.” If I knew how to blog via text message, I would have used both of these sentences already. Apparently, everything…

Elaine’s Super Bowl…
It’s Oscar night! Yeeeeeaaaah! (Good news: I finally have seen all of the Best Picture nominees from last year’s ceremony and I can say that you should totally watch Atonement if only because the last 30 minutes will absolutely slay you) Anyway…I could never be cool enough to live blog the entire ceremony, so I’m…
Give me back my White Dog…
So, I took White Dog to the Apple Store because the touchpad is squirrely about responding. And, instead of saying “You’re a crackhead, this computer is fine”, they KEPT IT. Argh. The Apple store is a 30-ish minute drive from our house so I will probably not be able to retrieve it until Saturday. Until…
Perhaps another reason people don’t visit us…
So, I just figured out today that since I’m the only one at home who drinks soda, that I can drink directly from the two-liters I bought today at the store. Now to find a big enough straw. (I could have titled this post “Perhaps I’m turning into a man”) (Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll straighten…

Meatballs of happiness…
So, guess what opened today? If you guessed the Cheesecake City IKEA, you are SO RIGHT. (Or else you stumbled upon me in FaceBook for the 10 seconds that my status was updated as “Elaine is…freaking glad that IKEA’s open. Hooray, meatballs!”).* Seriously, this was the top story on the morning news today. I’m not…
oh, FABULOUS
Glad I'm not a banker…
And in other news…
1) Gene got me flowers for Valentine’s Day. They’re tulips and are so pretty. Yea! 2) So I ordered a new purse to replace my almost 10 year old brown Coach handbag. I like it so far but it is HUGE. I can fit an entire library book in it. Maybe this will encourage me…
Travelin’…
So, I’m going to Indianapolis for my birthday. Yea!!! 🙂 Now “all” I have to do is book a flight. Somehow, doing this is harder than I imagined. My travel dates are air tight and can’t budge, plus Gene may be out of town when I go so I have to figure out how to…
