So last Saturday we watched the second half of the Best Picture nominees. Well, 4 of them anyway… First up was Winter’s Bone. The heartwarming tale of a poverty stricken daughter searching for her father, a crank “cooker”, I think that this was 2011’s “Precious”. Gene and I both enjoyed it but were not sad…

Dad
So, my dad’s birthday was Thursday. Let’s all agree that he turned 29. He’s the strong silent type. He was never the type of Dad who could help us fix stuff (although, I take that back…there’s a bookcase that I bought unassembled that he helped me with after I stripped the original screws), but he…
Dear J.Jill.com…
please put that pretty “blue marled sweater” (don’t you mean “Marbled”?) on sale so I can buy it before Cheesecake City’s winter is entirely gone. All My Love, LaineyD PS: Please hurry as I am already mostly wearing t-shirts during the day.
Scratchy McScratcherton
Usually we call Sadie “Sadie”, “Sadie Pie” or “Sadie Pot Pie” but I think I’m going to call her Scratchy McScratcherton instead. I woke up after 2 hours of sleep (so, at 1:30 am) and got out of bed after being unable to go back to sleep. I wanted to research some stuff on the…
Early days…
Life with three dogs is interesting! At one point this morning, Gene was in his office and I was in the living room. Sadie voluntarily got up on the sofa next to me and everything was great. But then Gene came into the room and Sadie made a desperate lunge to get back off the…
Sadie!
Sadie is here! She’s a little shy and so far Betty is not thrilled about there being another girl dog in the house, but it’s going pretty well overall. Scooby is excited to have a “big” dog to play with finally.
Lindsey Lohan Sucks…
(Subtitled, Read Any Good Books Lately?) So, I’m reading this book. It says “Lindsey Lohan Sucks” on the side, but inside it’s “Twilight.” I started it when I was sick last week. Last week, I read “Lace II”, “Zoya” and “Mini-Shopaholic.” Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pages. Granted, I started “Twilight” late in the…
Which reminds me…
I had a plan, back in June 2010. I was going to take a picture and post it on my blog on my last day at the old job, when I no longer had to call my old boss Gwen and my beloved friend The Almighty D. Anyway…back in those crazy days, D (she has…
One day off deserves another…
Ugh, I called in sick again today. I could have made it to work if I’d had a decent night’s rest but I woke up every hour on the hour (I know this because we have an alarm clock that projects the time on our ceiling). I had four freaking teaspoons of cough syrup w/…
Home(ly)
So I decided to stay home sick from work today. It was a collaborative effort between Gene, Ladydoctor (Dr. Hottie’s associate – Dr. H is a difficult ticket to get) and least of all me. Literally, until 9:25 this morning I was going to buck up and go to work anyway (like yesterday, like an…
