So, I love my job and especially because I’m not stuck listening to Xmas music all frigging day long, but sometimes I do hit the #4 preset radio station when I’m in the car. It’s the preset for the all Christmas music station (they usually play “the greatest of the ’70s, ’80s and today!”). And…

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…
Books
So, I am going to give a big thumbs up to a website I recently discovered: www.bookmooch.com. Basically, it is a book trading website. If I have a copy of Random Chick-lit Book #4 but I don’t want it any more, I can list it in my “inventory.” If you want a copy of Random…
2009 Year in Review
Okay, so I steal this from Erin every year, but this time I’m going to edit it so I don’t look even more moony and pathetic. 2009 was kind of a single issue year for me. You’re welcome. Edited to add: Apparently I edited out the question about “Anyone close to you give birth?” and…
2010 has been HUGE already!
So, 2010 has gone well so far. We woke up early-ish (especially since I was wide awake until 5 am) and I started trying to declutter a teeny bit. I started off with the Crossroads of Clutter (a/k/a our dining room table). My goal was to get to the point where the table only held…
A new record…
So, the Xmas music started today at work. Congratulate me – I made it to 9:15 before making a face about the annoying music. (The song was “Hey Santa” by the Wilson Sisters). Only 19 days to go! In other news, yes, I *DID* sing along to Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” when…
Lenny!
Saw Leonard Cohen last night. The tickets were not particularly cheap and I bought them right after my paycut, but if I had to do it over again I totally would. Leonard is in his mid-70s. He is not a young man. And, well, I’ve tortured most of you with listening to my Leonard Cohen…
!!!!
???? !!!!! ?!?!?!?! Thank heavens for Facebook. And for a husband who is far, far better at empathy than his wife. (And wasn’t mad when we overslept this morning, whoops).
7 years…
So, seven years ago today Gene and I got married. Just about everyone who reads this blog was there and like I said on Facebook, I am so thankful that everyone I love in the world was there. I have the pictures to prove it 🙂 This time 7 years ago, Gene and I sat…
‘ears the thing…
Because I know you are all waiting with baited breath for an update on Elaine’s Ears, here it is! Now ‘righty’ is pissed off at all the attention ‘lefty’ has received and has chosen to take it out on me. Â Owwwwwww. (Righty, don’t have a tantrum. Use your words!) I emailed D at work today…
