So, I picked up Scooby briefly the other day. Gene thinks that’s how I hurt my back but I disagree. However, what the hell, he’s probably right. I still love picking up my Scooby-Doo, even if he currently smells like a petting zoo. (Rhymes totally unintended)

20 years ago
Yes, its time for another serving of Tales of Little LaineyD… 20 years ago, my mom and I went to see Fleetwood Mac perform in Indianapolis. Except for the shoes, I remember every stitch I had on. Before the show we had dinner at the restaurant attached to the venue, where we had the honor…
Silver Dog Nouveau…
So, remember awhile ago when I wrote that it might be time to look into replacing White Dog (my beloved MacBook)? I think it was around Memorial Day, when Gene and I drove downy to the Apple store to let the Genius Bar take a look. I was flipping out again about the power cord….
Fine, I GET IT…
So, I bought another fancy and cute WordPress theme today for the blog. Perhaps you noticed it in the last few hours? It’s OK if you didn’t as you would probably be confused because 1) It said my blog’s name is Your Blog Name Here 2) The directions from the people I purchased this theme…
A few words on journalism…
So, I’ve been reading a bit about the News of the World scandal in the UK (that seems to be spreading to the US) and it just occurred to me…after all of this is over, do you think there will be room for ethical, decent journalists? Not liberal, not conservative, but interested in reporting stories…
Oh, White Dog, you scamp…
So! Today: Breakfast at Bob Evans. Yum. Grocery store (had 10 things on the list, still managed to buy a lot of stuff – how does this always happen?) Sat at home, thought about White Dog’s power problem, saw that the Genius Bar had available appointments at 12 noon (which was about 75 minutes from…
white dog wahhhh
White Dog’s going for another visit to the Genius Bar on Monday morning. (Genius Bar = Apple Store tech support). It’s not holding a charge, even though the power supply I bought a few months ago is attached. The reason for this is (hopefully!) simple: the plastic on the outside of the laptop around where…
95
So, when I was a little girl (I would refer to myself as Lil Elaine, but the word “Lil” makes me want to puke), I had a Grandma. Well, of course I had two Grandmas, both of whom were splendid in their own (and very, very, verrrrry different) ways. I have only the best memories…
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…
Yee-haw!
So, I went to my site yesterday and got a database error. Since I just renewed my hosting with DreamHost, I assumed I had messed that up in some way. DreamHost makes it super handy to look this stuff up, but nothing seemed awry. They also have a site called Dreamhoststatus.com where you can go…
