to start making plans for 2011! Next year, I want the following things to happen: 1) I want to pay off our credit card (fingers crossed that no ONE keeps that from happening…!) and start saving to replace the Murano in a few years. Here, Mini Mini Mini! 2) I want to go home to…

i love wednesdays
While I still like Friday the best (the weekend has barely started and it’s so full of promise and fun and sleeping and skeeball and cocktails and movies and reading and shopping and la la la), I think Wednesdays are pretty great. 1) The grocery store ad changes on Wednesday mornings. What will be on…
Here’s what’s new w/ me…
1) Going to Germany in a few weeks. Boss Man took a week to approve my vacation so by the time I could book our tickets the cheapest flights have us with a 12 hour layover in Amsterdam. 2) Work is fine. One of my coworkers is less than thrilled that I’m going out of…
Funny….
Lest all of you think life at Chateau LaineyD is all stress and sadness, here is a cute conversation to dispel that rumor: So, Gene and I watched some TV (courtesy of Hulu, XBox and the mysteries of technology), mostly stuff from USA Network (Burn Notice, Royal Pains). Me: “So, do we have anything left…
August already
The calendar is wrong, it says today is July 30 but I think August is here. I’d hoped that August wouldn’t be such a…trial this year, it wouldn’t be the hardest month of all 12 (only baaaaarely beating out January) but I think that this may be the way the next 60 or so Augusts…
Jobby Job
So, today was my first day at the new job. I think it’s going to be great. (Or maybe it’s just going to be OK). (But I think it’ll be good). Good things about new employer/new job: 1) Employer has not filed for Chapter ANYTHING. In fact, if anything they have too much work! (Supposedly,…
I heart unemployment…
or at least temporary unemployment. So, Wednesday was it. I got to work a little early and worked my ass off (seriously, I was in the middle of writing an insurance procedure at zero hour – never finished, btw) until Boss Gwen announced that lunch was ready. She had ordered a huge range of Chinese…
It’s the little things…
So, I am doing laundry. YAY!!!! The new washer (btw, “warsher” is how it is pronounced sometimes in Indiana) was delivered and installed Thursday. I got as far as hearing the little tune it plays when you raise the lid but didn’t use it yet. (I was at D’s house so I got home late…
Warsher
So, the washing machine has been acting weird the last couple months. The gizmo inside of it that knows when the water is cold no longer functions (well, or something like that). So, no water comes out. Yay. (Wait, water’s necessary to wash clothes? Boo, then). Anyway, until Monday the water would eventually come out…
Dilemna
Yes, I know how to spell* D-I-L-E-M-M-A. About 40% of the time on Babycenter the word gets misspelled as “dilemna” and it always makes me cringe. Where do these dingbats get an “N” sound??? So anyway, I have a dilemma. At my new job, I will have 2 weeks of vacation a year (plus sick…
