So, it’s nearly midnight KL time, I can’t sleep due to somebody’s coughing (actually, due to both Gene and my coughing together) and yet, I can’t shiv the cause of this insomnia. Since I can nap tomorrow and Gene can’t, here is a very interesting meme-whatchamacallit that I stole from another site: 1) Go to…

23 hours til departure…
This time tomorrow we’ll be up in the air. Yaaaay! There is still so much to do. I need to pack my carry on bag, finish packing my big bag and – of course – more work! After all the years where I felt like I was going it alone in payroll, it is so…
A crazy dream…
So I dreamt (dreamed? one of those) that Gene and I were flying to Malaysia via Germany (which we are). I know our itinerary pretty thoroughly and I know that the planes are big ones (which YES is at least 10% of the reason I agreed to this silliness) and I am really really looking…
For the record, my degree is in print journalism, not TV journalism…
So I’m watching the coverage of Hurricane Gustav on CNN. Why do the anchors keep acting surprised when the journalists actually in New Orleans (where the winds are currently 100+ MPH, I think) are unable to be heard?? Geeeez. “Bob, if you can hear me, go inside!” and my favorite “Hey, can you go outside…

Made it home from our trip through the Great Lakes region (well, Indianapolis and Columbus) about twenty minutes ago. So, so glad to be home.
Whitedog’s big vacation…
So I’m sitting here at Cheesecake City International Airport n’ Bait Shop (motto: Now with more Starbucks!), once again lovin’ the free wi-fi. I’m supposed to do something of value, but I really only have eyes for my two square inches of the internet, so, there you go. My flight leaves in (oh geez) two…
…and exhale.
So, Gene is listening to an Ann Coulter book on the iPod and it’s getting a little tense. Eek! But now we are home and watching 30 Rock (starring Alec Baldwin) from Thursday and now, all is right in the world. That said, I did learn one interesting thing from the book. Apparently Barack Obama…
and now I loooove White Dog…
Ha ha HA Steve Jobs! I figured out a way around your nefarious plan to keep me from opening my MS Publisher files. Ha! (I installed Publisher on the Boy’s old laptop, converted the files to MS Word rich text files and saved them on our server. And then on the Mac I converted them…
aggggh
How did I not figure out there’s not a version of MS Publisher for the Mac? Fuckity. Granted, I never do anything brainy in Publisher (purely an ego thing) but the files don’t even open in Pages (the Mac version of Word). Crrrrrrap.
So as it turns out…
I am not missing a THING when it comes to not knowing anything about new music. I’ve had Sirius: Pulse (The 90s and Now!) on most of the afternoon. It seems to be the closest to the Sirius: Soccer Mom Music! channel I had hoped for (well, there’s one closer but it is only playing…
