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…

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…
Shopaholic Takes eBay…
So. I was very good and did not spend ANY money on Black Friday (it helps that I was working from 9-5, so I didn’t even think of trying midnight shopping again). (Not that I would have, actually, as Gene made it clear that he did midnight shopping once and would never do it again)….
!!!!
???? !!!!! ?!?!?!?! 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).
bad sign…
I just had to hunt through 4 different “Favorites” menus in Safari (my web browser of choice) before I could find my link to post in my own blog. In better news, the Great Black and Brown Hunter (a/k/a Betty) killed a rabbit today. And left it behind my chair. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Fortunately, Gene handled disposal….
Guess what I did…
10 years ago today? Graduated from Ball State University. Ten years ago today marked the satisfying finale to my educational career. Hooray! It is the proudest day of my life, still. I’m not using my degree, not even a little bit. I feel a little bad about it.
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…
‘ears the thing…
Because I know you are all waiting with baited breath for an update on Elaine’s Ears, here it is! Now ‘righty’ is pissed off at all the attention ‘lefty’ has received and has chosen to take it out on me. Â Owwwwwww. (Righty, don’t have a tantrum. Use your words!) I emailed D at work today…
Thanks a lot, Old Navy!
I almost wore a night shirt out of the house today. Oh well, I can wear it on the patio. (Seriously, I love Old Navy. I walked in there yesterday and walked out with 7 t-shirts and 1 I thought dress and they are nice and long and cover my ass and don’t make my arms…
The post with all the hilarious footnotes…
So, back in the day I had a Speak and Spell and a Speak and Math (or whatever the math version of the Speak and Spell was called*). I credit the Speak and Math with my ability to do simple math in my head. (I also credit my mother’s handy memory tricks such as “Refrigerator…
