So. Three dogs sure do eat a lot of dog food! Last month, apparently on May 29, I ordered about 6 different kinds of dry dog food. The dog food store that was literally at the front of my neighborhood went out of business (sad), but the puppies gotta eat… (I ordered a variety because,…

Hi
Don’t mind me…just practicing posting using the Smartyphone…did I tell you I added ‘Smartyphone’ to my phone’s dictionary? I feel like such a trailblazer. In other news I tried texting yesterday w/ Denise…finally joined the 21st century!
Where have I been?
(really, where have I been? My short term memory’s been crap for awhile but now my middle term memory too?) Lately: Two weeks ago, Gene and I went to dinner and to see Gene’s favorite musical performed. Dinner was yummy and the first act was great but one of us fell ill so we had…
Yay!
Bad News: I think my coworker Broomhilda may be losing her “archrival” status Good News: Because she (very graciously!) agreed to move her vacation off of the week of Geek Week 2011! Bad News: Now you guys have to read a bunch of posts where I contemplate airfare and hotel deals in/to Las Vegas. YAY!
Oh, White Dog, you scamp…
So! Today: Breakfast at Bob Evans. Yum. Grocery store (had 10 things on the list, still managed to buy a lot of stuff – how does this always happen?) Sat at home, thought about White Dog’s power problem, saw that the Genius Bar had available appointments at 12 noon (which was about 75 minutes from…
white dog wahhhh
White Dog’s going for another visit to the Genius Bar on Monday morning. (Genius Bar = Apple Store tech support). It’s not holding a charge, even though the power supply I bought a few months ago is attached. The reason for this is (hopefully!) simple: the plastic on the outside of the laptop around where…
Frankly, I blame Eric Clapton for this…
(watch out, this may be the blog post to get me kicked out of my family…) So, the other day I was driving around and one of Gene’s Richard Cheese songs came on the iPod. Let’s agree that it was his lounge lizard version of Baby Got Back (which is a pretty good version, until…
Work
So, here’s what I have learned in the last 10 months (since leaving the old job): * Work sucks. Too many hours, annoying coworkers, annoying clients * Employers suck. They don’t let you work overtime (see above), they don’t hire enough people to do the job, blah blah. * Yeah. So anyway! In Big Payroll,…
And a week later,
let’s talk about seeing Former Boss Gwen at the bookstore. It’s a funny story. Please don’t recommend that I should be institutionalized, OK? So, I was sitting in a fast food drive through one Sunday afternoon. I’d gone…somewhere (library? mall?)…and promised Gene I’d bring him home a drink. I’m staring off in the distance while…
Other stuff, not maudlin or crazy…
1) Shopping for a new phone. May actually join the 21st century and get a smart phone. I have my eye on the HTC (?) Inspire. If you’re thinking, “Hey, Elaine, aren’t you typing this crap on a MacBook? Don’t *they* have a cell phone?”, my answer is, “Yeahhh. No.” Too expensive (even w/ Gene’s…
