So, Gene and I may be relocating to the state directly north of ours. Being curious, I hit my beloved realtor.com to see exactly what we might be able to afford. Wow. I never realized how downright AFFORDABLE our suburb of Cheesecake City is. OMG. I wonder if the Murano will fit Gene, the dogs…

Happy Easter!
Here is Easter in the Elaine World: “Gee, I’d sure like to go to…” “AUGH, it’s closed for Easter!” “Oh, I wonder if (something else) is open” “Nope, closed!” I cannot believe that in a country where the mall opens on THANKSGIVING that Easter is still…err…Holy. Even Target’s closed (I think -they were a few…
pfffffhhhhhtt…
So, my NCAA bracket has been going…. oh, what’s the phrase? Not well. I have correctly guessed 65% of the outcomes so far, but the following teams are on my (Stephen Colbert-approved) “Dead to Me” list: Indiana University (well, like IU has ever NOT been on my Dead to Me list), Kent State, Clemson, Vanderbilt,…
Thirtysomething…
Today is my 31st birthday. Hmm. All I know is that I never expected to turn 30 and still feel so immature. And now I’m a whole year older than THAT, and if anything I have only backslid to become less mature. Geez. Maybe the people on Thirtysomething were in their late 30s. Those people…
Speaking of dogs…
CNN says that the new trend is for dogs to have blogs. (Yes, you read that right. Dogs. Have. Blogs). I can’t imagine giving Betty and Scooby blogs – Betty’s would be an epic poem about food and Scooby’s would be devoted to long posts about how wonderful it is to sleep under the covers.
White dog is kicking my ass
Hmm. So far, I am loving the new computer. But seriously, it is kicking my ass. Or at least, Safari (the Apple web browser) is. Friends of ours have IE on their Mac (or do you call them Apples?), so it’s not like there’s any shame. And I can’t figure out how to get spaces between…
White Dog
We bought my laptop a year after we adopted the dogs. The laptop spent its life hanging out in the living room. Scooby was jealous of “silver dog”, our nickname for my silver Gateway laptop.And then last night “Silver dog” gave us the Blue Screen o’ Death. Damn. (Bad news: laptop wasn’t even 3 years…
C’mon, Kansas!
So Yahoo let me fill in my bracket for this year’s NCAA men’s basketball tournament. Last year, I did half well (as in, if the bracket is viewed with half the options on the right, half on the left, I got about half the choices right). This year, I have parlayed my extreme lack of…
Edit
I came here today to edit or delete my last post, but I just reread it and frankly, I don’t want to change a word. I hate to get TOO honest around these parts (I mean, why upset my mom?) but, yanno, it’s all true.
Early St. Patrick’s Day Q&A
Q: So how’s it going? A: Meh. Is there a half word that means that things are going worse than “meh”? Oh, wait. That’s what the F-bomb is for. Q: That good, huh? A: Yep. It’s been 6 months since we spoke to the Boy last. I thought we’d turned a corner on dealing with…
