Thanksgiving, so far…
Last night, I got home from work around 6:30 (how does a 10 minute drive TO work end up a 20+ minute drive FROM work?) and helped with a couple last minute things before Gene’s brother and his family arrived. And then I took White Dog and put my feet up on the sofa and…
Thanksgiving ’10: Progress!
Don’t mind me, I’m just excited that something is finished. Plus, I may be high off Stanley Steemer fumes. Appetizers: White Bean Dip with Pine Nuts (w/ pita) – DONE Cream Cheese, Sausage & Rotel Dip (probably w/ tortilla chips) – Thursday Nuts & Bolts (baked Chex mix, family favorite, using Blanche’s recipe) – DONE!…
Thankful ’10
(Lead buried within) This year, I am thankful for… …my husband. When he winks at me, my heart skips a beat. …my family, for putting up with me being a slack ass about visiting and calling. …my job, for hiring me and coming up soon, for PROMOTING ME. WOOOOOOO!!!!!! So far, I think that 2010…
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…
Oops
Things I have done today: 1) Preheated oven. With an entire plastic wrapped pan of Nuts & Bolts still inside. Sooo glad I didn’t mummify the Nuts & Bolts and just covered loosely. (For the record, they were in the oven to keep them safe while the cleaning lady was here yesterday). 2) Freaked out…
Grocery store bloodbath
(Or, Thanksgiving 2010: The One Where We Go from ‘Hedonistic Long Weekend in Vegas’ to ‘Relaxing Meal at Fancy Local Buffet’ to ‘Holy Shit We Need To Buy a Roast. And A Couch’) Needless to say, Thanksgiving 2010 has not turned out the way I had hoped originally. The good news is that we have…
Oooookay!
Holy Hell, this has been one heck of a week! Since Monday I have… …brought 5 new clients live (ie, processed their year to date payrolls, etc). The last two processed their first “real” paychecks today after 5. Both of them were SUPPOSED to process yesterday. Tomorrow, now that those cluster situations are handled, I…
Hi, internet
So, here are some things I have learned lately: 1) Remember the Pepsi recycling machine I posted about a week or so ago? It does not accept non-Pepsi items. “Let’s all save the Earth! Wait, is that a Cherry Coke?” 2) Just finished enrolling us in health insurance for 2011. Gene works for a technology…
The crazy
Uhoh. I think the crazy is seeping in again. Let me start this story over (lest my family consider having me committed): So (and that’s better already, that I’m starting this wacky tale with “So”), Rite-Aid stores here have these machines outside of them called the Pepsi Dream Machine. Basically, they are gigantic machines that…
