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:…

Here’s an important life lesson…
So, I made mashed potatoes last night to go with dinner… (YES, I made dinner…and potatoes!! on a weeknight!) and learned a very important life lesson (the kind that everyone but me knows already): Always, alllllwayyyyys remember to lock the bowl into the stand mixer. If you don’t, you end up trying to shut the…
Cakeballs.
So, let’s talk about something that is not related to W-2 (that said, it occurred to me today that “W-2” sounds like what would happen if George W. Bush had a son who became President) (and with that, I think my mother just fainted in horror) Anyway. Gene and I both had Martin Luther King…
2009 Year in Review
Okay, so I steal this from Erin every year, but this time I’m going to edit it so I don’t look even more moony and pathetic. 2009 was kind of a single issue year for me. You’re welcome. Edited to add: Apparently I edited out the question about “Anyone close to you give birth?” and…
2010 has been HUGE already!
So, 2010 has gone well so far. We woke up early-ish (especially since I was wide awake until 5 am) and I started trying to declutter a teeny bit. I started off with the Crossroads of Clutter (a/k/a our dining room table). My goal was to get to the point where the table only held…
Note to self:
Self, the closest place to buy Thompson Grapes is the Piggly Wiggly grocery store 3 hours away. (Oh well. Mom, this means the pressure is doubly on you – you have to make the fruit salad for Xmas, OK? I know it’s expensive, but I will pay you. Or stick a freakin’ bow on it,…
A new record…
So, the Xmas music started today at work. Congratulate me – I made it to 9:15 before making a face about the annoying music. (The song was “Hey Santa” by the Wilson Sisters). Only 19 days to go! In other news, yes, I *DID* sing along to Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” when…
!!!!
???? !!!!! ?!?!?!?! Thank heavens for Facebook. And for a husband who is far, far better at empathy than his wife. (And wasn’t mad when we overslept this morning, whoops).
Gene’s birthday
So, Gene’s birthday was Monday. I won’t tell you how old he is because then he’d look like a major cradle robber, being married to a 29 year old. I will just tell you he was born during Woodstock. Except not at Woodstock. (:::Pauses to consider Blanche at Woodstock::: ) (Ha ha ha). Anyway, I…
7 years…
So, seven years ago today Gene and I got married. Just about everyone who reads this blog was there and like I said on Facebook, I am so thankful that everyone I love in the world was there. I have the pictures to prove it 🙂 This time 7 years ago, Gene and I sat…
