So! I just got back from my visit to Indianapolis. I cannot even put into words how wonderful it was. I hadn’t been home in so, so long. A ridiculously long time. How did I go nearly 2 years without seeing my family in Indiana? And it wasn’t enough time, even though I could have…

2012 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2012 that you’d never done before? I attended the midnight premiere of a movie (The Hunger Games), I watched the Twilight movies (so bad, so very very bad), I ate and enjoyed avocado/guacamole and I watched many many episodes of Star Trek The Next Generation. 2. Did you keep…
25 lbs of owie
So, I picked up Scooby briefly the other day. Gene thinks that’s how I hurt my back but I disagree. However, what the hell, he’s probably right. I still love picking up my Scooby-Doo, even if he currently smells like a petting zoo. (Rhymes totally unintended)
20 years ago
Yes, its time for another serving of Tales of Little LaineyD… 20 years ago, my mom and I went to see Fleetwood Mac perform in Indianapolis. Except for the shoes, I remember every stitch I had on. Before the show we had dinner at the restaurant attached to the venue, where we had the honor…
Greetings from Arkansas
So, I’m on vacation. Here are some things that have happened..so far. (Also, my internet access is entirely from my phone so this will be short) 1) met weird lady @ Atlanta who felt the need to comment on every news story on headline news 2) had cinnabon @ cheesecake airport, used plastic fork missing…
A few words on journalism…
So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories…
So, let’s talk about stuff!
Yes, it is nearly 1 AM and I’m awake. Hooray. Our trip to Indiana was great except for the too short part. One of the highlights for me was running around town with just my mother. While on the hunt for a parking spot, I drove past a mother and daughter (about our ages) and…
95
So, when I was a little girl (I would refer to myself as Lil Elaine, but the word “Lil” makes me want to puke), I had a Grandma. Well, of course I had two Grandmas, both of whom were splendid in their own (and very, very, verrrrry different) ways. I have only the best memories…
20 Years Ago Today…
Twenty years ago today Mom took me to see Fleetwood Mac. I wore (going from head to toe): the worst perm of my life, a black and white checked ‘boyfriend jacket’ (with some sort of tshirt underneath), a hilariously short skirt and….well, I don’t remember the shoes. Before the concert, we went to dinner at…
American style shopping…
I forgot to tell you…while in Berlin, I went to the grocery store with our friend’s wife. While we were there she pointed out to me the “foreign” section of the store and the half a shelf of “American” food. They did an excellent job of pegging us, BTW. Here is what we Americans eat:…
