1. What did you do in 2020 that you’d never done before? Survived a pandemic? 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? I don’t remember if I made resolutions, but I probably didn’t keep them. My 2021 resolution is to Do Better and get the vaccine… Continue reading 2020 Year in Review (or, what a clusterfuck)

I absolutely can’t believe I haven’t written about this. (I’m so sorry, Bertie) We lost Scooby in January. He was fine. And then he wasn’t. And then he was gone.

1. What did you do in 2018 that you’d never done before? I rode on a tank! 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? My 2018 resolution was to Do Better.

So, here’s what I’ve been up to in the last year Coworker J and her husband got pregnant. The second J told me this great news, I demanded to get to host her baby shower. The LaineyD from 2009 is horrified that I would attend a shower, let alone host the damn thing. The shower, initially… Continue reading The last 6 months

The stars at night are big and bright (clap clap clap clap) Deep in the Heart of Texas! So we’ve moved (Me, Gene, Scooby and Sadie; more on that later). And I finally realized that I needed to try and start writing here again. So I’m here. Welcome Home LaineyD

Previously, year end meant that life was an 11 on the busy scale for about a month, complete with working 6 day weeks and then it leveled out to about a 7 on the busy scale for the rest of the… Continue reading A Little More Conversation
