Like an idiot! This “Big Payroll Year-End Cold” is just MEAN. And Walgreens not having any orange push pops is VERY MEAN. I stopped there after work for some more Mucinex and they didn’t have any. I totally should have just gone to the grocery store. Ugh, I’m so ridiculously crabby right now! I wish…

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…
More yammering…
(Or, the post about the job interview was getting long) Unrelated thoughts: After my job interview, I had to change out of my Stupid Suit (and I get to buy another suit if I have a second interview, shoot me now) so instead of being Not an Idiot and changing in a gas station bathroom…
So sleepy…
(and yes, I know that while I am sleepy, my brother and his wife are drop dead exhausted) So, today was a day I call SUPER PAYROLL WEDNESDAY. The workday started at 5 am. Ugh, I hate getting up early. And since sooooomeone insisted on watching all 55 hours of the Celebrity Apprentice finale show…
Las Vegas, see you in 2022!*
So, we’re home. We’ve actually been home about 24 hours, though. The flights were fine and getting to fly first class from Las Vegas to Texas was really nice. I was reminded of this on the flight from Texas to Cheesecake City, which I spent in the middle seat between Gene and some twentysomething guy…
Holy cow it’s Wednesday???
(And the day is half over in the Eastern time zone??) So, yesterday. Gene was supposed to have lunch and dinner with various people from the conference he’s here to attend. I decided to take the monorail to the stop for the Venetian, the Mirage and (I think) Treasure Island, see what there was to…
Monday, Monday
(I am so boring. Why can’t I come up with zingy blog post titles?) Still no gambling, still no drinking. Still the dorkiest girl walking around Las Vegas. Woohoo! I had intended on getting out of the room by 9:30 (so I could enjoy a lovely buffet breakfast as part of my $35 all you…
Weekend in Vegas…
So, I think I now understand why most people don’t stay a week in Las Vegas: After about 4 days, their feet fall off. (I take that back: I am pretty sure my mom could do all the walking I have done today and then go run a mini marathon. As you know, my mother…
Las Vegas (so far)…
A real discussion I had at work with D and Stefania: Stefania: Don’t talk to any strange people in Las Vegas! Me: But what if Robert Redford shows up and offers Gene $1 million for a night with me? D: I cannot believe how quickly that came out of your mouth. Something crazy that happened…
