(aka: My Mom Visits Cheesecake City) (I swear I’ll make it up to Indiana again…no later than October, I swear) Anyway, Mom is here and we are having a great time! We took her to lunch at the Thai restaurant near the house then we hung out at home and watched a little CNN (as…

wow, 9 days??
Apparently I haven’t written anything in nine days. Sorry. Gene’s home from NJ, supposedly for good. Mom arrives for a 4 day weekend o’ fun tomorrow at noonish. Work is fine, a little stressful. I haven’t taken more than 2 or 3 real lunch hours in weeks. At the rate I’m going, the Target store…
y’ever…
Y’ever have one of those nights where the only thing that feels right to do is reschedule all the crap that’s supposed to Tivo tonight so you can keep watching Funny Girl on HDNet? Yeah, me too.
Spring has arrived…
I think spring is here… the birds are chirping, the weather is going to be 70+ degrees this weekend, and the mice are back. That is, the dead mice. In my house. (AHHHHHH!!!!) I emailed Gene about it last night: “Please advise where you would like FedEx sent containing Betty and 1 dead mouse” He…
Friday!
So, it’s Friday. I have been awake until at least midnight every night this week. I think it’s the Wellbutrin’s fault, although if I took it earlier I’d probably not have this issue. I love the Wellbutrin for giving me all this awesome stay awake ability, but the downside is that when I finally go…

About the weather…
It is March. It is the South. It is snowing. WTF? (Like I said on Facebook, I sure hope we get a snow day off tomorrow, that would be totally awesome. I’m supposed to make a trillion copies of something for work tomorrow, but meh). In other news, due to the weather, the satellite is…
Hooray!
Tomorrow’s Friday! (oh, wait…. ::consults calendar:: ) (Damn).
Baahh!!!
So, Gene called me with some wonderful news. The bigwigs at his employer are taking a 15% paycut. The mediumwigs at his employer are taking a 10% paycut. Fortunately, Gene is just a leetle tinywig so his paycut is only 5%. Wahhh. What is going on with this country that people are having their pay…
Meatballs of happiness…
So, guess what opened today? If you guessed the Cheesecake City IKEA, you are SO RIGHT. (Or else you stumbled upon me in FaceBook for the 10 seconds that my status was updated as “Elaine is…freaking glad that IKEA’s open. Hooray, meatballs!”).* Seriously, this was the top story on the morning news today. I’m not…
