1) Gene got me flowers for Valentine’s Day. They’re tulips and are so pretty. Yea! 2) So I ordered a new purse to replace my almost 10 year old brown Coach handbag. I like it so far but it is HUGE. I can fit an entire library book in it. Maybe this will encourage me…

Feeling good…
So, I usually use my little square of the internet to bitch about work or something, but today I feel really good. Gene’s safe and home from his recent trip and he’ll be home for Valentine’s Day. The dogs are doing well. The living room is practically empty but that’s okay (seriously, if it’s just…
Now that’s what I call a tip!
My Worst Freaking Nightmare! So, I guess if it could happen to Nobu, the famous sushi restaurant partly owned by Robert DeNiro, it could happen to anyone. I would LOVE to talk to the payroll clerk there – were they paying server OT at 1.5 times server minimum ($2.13 times 1.5 = $3.20) instead of…
the chair affair…
(hee hee, that rhymed) Ugh, chair is at FedEx. Finally. When my only time out of the office during daylight is my lunch hour, sometimes I have to do things I wouldn’t normally do, such as struggle with a screwdriver in a light Cheesecake City rainstorm. Additionally, I wanted the damned office chair out of…
25 Things, a crosspost from Facebook
1) I blog at laineyd.com. (I know, Duhhh right?) 2) I just found a problem with around 900 of my employer’s W-2s for 2008. I hope my boss remembers this the next time I forget to do something minor. (I talk about W-2s a lot this time of year, it’s just a weird thing about…
Nothing new under the sun…
Here is the latest with me: 1) Hit another high today in terms of people visiting this site. Just in case any of you had it open and just kept hitting refresh in case I posted something fabulous and new, here is your reward. (Suckers) 2) Finished The Time Travelers Wife, a pretty good book….
Here’s the plan…
Listen… I have an even BETTER IDEA as to what to do for my birthday (only 2 months away, start shopping now…)… and this ONLY goes if Gene is really going to be out of town on my birthday: I’m going to Indianapolis. And I’m going to see the Eagles. In Indianapolis. ON MY BIRTHDAY….
Dog Park
So, the dogs are stuck in their kennels all day while Gene is gone. The pet sitter comes in for a little while during the day but they’re used to a whole lot more freedom. I thought of taking them to the pet boarding place for the day tomorrow, but Gene had a better idea:…
Out with the old, in with…well…
So, once upon a time, there was a boy named Gene and a girl named Elaine. They built a house in a mythical city named Cheesecake City. It was their first experience as homeowners and they were determined not to fill the house with disposable furniture – they wanted furniture that was built to last….
Can we just move on to 2010 now?
2009 has already been filled with enough excitement to last me the next 364 days, at least. (Why, yes, it is 2 am and I’m still awake. Wheee).
