It is 4:40 AM. I have to be up in 2 hours and 20 minutes. (Well, technically, I don’t have to be out the door until 8:30, but if I get there early today, I can leave early too). My brain won’t shut off. I was asleep until Gene came to bed and we talked…

Okay, SO…
Here’s the inevitable dull as dishwater post about health: I took a test two weeks ago to test my insulin resistance and my cholesterol level. I failed both tests. I don’t know what the plan is for my cholesterol level but the plan for the insulin thing is to send me to the Cheesecake City…
Last weekend, it was a very good weekend…
And it began mostly on Thursday. Gene’s birthday. He thought he was turning 36. It’s a good thing I’m mostly in charge of math here. He’s now 37. So we go to his favorite restaurant for dinner. They were having a chef’s tasting with wine. Delicious! The menu was: 1) A lovely white wine, paired…
Overwhelmed…
Hi hi. My name is LaineyD and I am easily overwhelmed. Five minutes ago I was trying to 1) Do laundry 2) Write grocery list (what the hell do I do with the chicken I bought???) * 3) Read a blog..okay, two blogs 4) Continue grocery store website comparisons (I shop at between 1 and 3…
Things to Do
So, since my husband has been gone for 8 DAYS (including 1 weekend and to include another weekend, starting tomorrow, and possibly a third…aaaaah), here is what I've been up to: Working. Watching movies (just finished Gilda last night. The ending felt phony but Rita Hayworth was amazing!). Geeking, waaaaay too much. Reading (total trash…
Yeeees!!
Good news, international style. Very glad to hear about this. I hope she doesn't write a book, I hope she just goes back to being a journalist. When Gene and I lived for a short while in northern Virginia, we visited the Newseum and it was almost as delightful as the Rock & Roll Hall of…
Elaine’s Spring Break 2006
So, did I tell you all that Gene left me? For a week, people. Geez. He's gone to Colorado for a class. He's driving so it takes 3 days to get there. So, I have been left ALONE and UNCHAPERONED for 1 week and TWO weekends. It boggles the mind. It is literally like having…
Agggh, HELP ME
So, my baby brother Macaulay/Bill (they actually had it printed that way on the invites) is getting married in LESS THAN A MONTH. And guess who doesn't have something to wear yet? ME! I really thought I'd have an easy time of it. Waltz into Kohl's, find something in a size that works on me…
It is, indeed, the cheesiest…
So, after writing yesterday’s post, I read it and realized that I forgot to explain the whole Mac n’ Cheese thing. (Being me, I had already hit publish). For some reason, Word Press wouldn’t let me edit the post without doing so in html. I don’t edit in html. (What do I look like, a…
On a toast eating jag…
Gene has been under the weather the last few days (I think he ate something that has disagreed with him and it’s just working its way through) so I skipped making dinner (Pepperoni Calzone). I finally talked him into eating some toast. For various reasons, I ended up eating the first round of toast. Mmm….
