So Gene and I went to the Enormo-Mall yesterday to go buy an iHome (an iPod doo-dad that is an alarm clock with an iPod docking station). The first place to try was Bed, Bath and Beyond because I had FOUR 20% off coupons. Woohoo! No luck on the iHome thing (which I ordered last…

I like surprises!
Gene called me at work yesterday to ask what I was making for dinner. I told him that dinner was going to be chicken casserole (from the back of the Chicken Stove Top stuffing box – I know, I’m a lazy cook, but it was good!) and hinted that he should start it. He got…
OMG, he does tricks!
Scooby is not a food obsessed dog (Booper is, which is part of why she outweights Scoob by 5 or so pounds). Betty, on the other hand, has learned to grab a treat in mid-air (that is, if we stand 2 feet away from her and throw a treat at her, it does not touch…
My T-Shirt is Dying…
Seventy-five million years ago, my best friend Brandy gave me a t-shirt that says “I Think The Hell Not” in inch tall letters on the front and “Hell, Elaine Speaking” on the back in puffy red letters. The “N” in “Not” has fallen off and may or may not have been partially eaten by Betty….
A ringing phone is (almost) never a good thing…
So I’m sitting in my car at work on Thursday, harming no one, eating my bacon cheeseburger (health food!) and I hear my phone ring…’Rikki Don’t Lose That Number, It’s the Only One you Want (or Own, depending on what you hear), You can use if you feel better, when you get hooome’ Who the…
Mind if I talk about boobs for a minute? (look away, dad and Bill)
I have broken the underwire on my last favorite bra. Guess that means it’s time to replace it. Ugh. So I am shopping on figleaves.com and type in my size. There are 12 pages of options. Hooray! Oh, wait. HALF of them are nursing bras. Un-hooray! There is something about this whole thing that is unsettling…
Thunderbolt?
I have had the greatest (??) idea. Instead of the stupid newsletter that I was/am in charge of, we need… a company BLOG. A neat fancy one, linked up to the company’s website, to announce all the new exciting things we do. And plus, since it takes almost no time to write a blog post…
Cooked again…
Tonight, I made this salmon dish for dinner. Gene wanted fish or chicken for dinner, and he found the recipe. Plus I got flustered at the grocery store today (I was doing a shh! secret shop and my regular shopping at the same time) and bought the salmon early. Whoops. Anyway, I give it 4 stars….
Dirty Doings…
(Sorry…considered titling it Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap, but just couldn’t bring myself to it). I finally get my meeting with Big Boss tomorrow, supposedly first thing. Woohoo. Here are the points I intend to make: 1) I am concerned that my direct supervisor (New Boss) is not giving me the same treatment she is…
Soo…
How much longer is it until I stop almost asking Gene if he’s spoken to his mother lately? I did that yesterday (almost, thank heavens), despite the fact that Gene is up in OH right now finishing up some things for her estate.
