Category: Really Deep Thoughts

I’m sitting in my home office, which is next to Gene’s home office and listening to him work. (Yes, it’s 10 PM on a Sunday and he’s on the phone and so are a half dozen assorted others). What’s really nice? Even though they seem to be bickering over something, I think it is SO…

Go read this! Ha ha ha. Not a lot new over here. Gene’s at “Poker” and I’m here with the dogs and a Pack n’ Play. Yes…my SIL finally registered (woohoo!) at Babies R Us so Gene and I drove to the local BRU (the same one I visited last year) and went a little…

Hey y’all…just not feeling chatty lately, sorry. I’ve been up to a lot of stuff. Yesterday I vacuumed the living room and dining room and had to empty the Dyson twice (!). I also cleaned the kitchen up because it was a complete sty. I also put all the CDs back into their cases (for…

Hey! I’m still here (yeah, yeah, yeah…) Not much new since Mom left on Sunday. We had a great time. Friday we shopped, Saturday we planted plants (yes, really, plants!) and had girl time that was sooo much fun, Sunday we made brunch and took Mom to the airport. I already miss having her here…

OMG, you’ll never believe what happened. I got home from work today to be greeted by two beagles and a husband. Gene told me that there was a birthday surprise in my office. I sat down to play with the dogs first for a few minutes so they’d stop jumping on me, but Gene took…

And, home…. Left Ohio about 7:30 Monday AM. Stopped for lunch in West Virginia at a place that claimed to be the “Best of West Virginia.” The best of WV is a food court. I think that means the WORST of WV is where you grill your own squirrel. I drove a small portion of…

Ahh, finally…the thing we drove all this (freaking) way for. The Graduation. But really, so much happened Sunday even BEFORE the graduation. First, Al and the travelling bunch went to Panera for breakfast. Melissa had to pick up her graduation gown and post the grades for the class she taught. After breakfast, we met Melissa…

Saturday: As I mentioned, somehow the logical plans that Melissa and I had put together had somehow been totally redrawn by Al and Gene. Strangely, neither of them are morning people, especially Al. (Clue: Al opened the door wearing sweatpants and no shirt. I think I’m now a) blind and b) a lesbian). Ick. Anyway,…

Friday: Woke up around 8. Mmm, delicious overpriced hotel breakfast. (Blueberry pancakes). Went to Al (BIL), Melissa (SIL), and Cletus (nephew, in utero)’s house (the old house — by bedtime Friday they all owned a record 2 houses). Blanche, Al, Gene all go to the bank so Blanche can open a bank account, leaving the boy and…

Hi everyone! I survived my trip to Ohio. Right now I’m alone in the house so what do I do? Clean? Cook? Read? (Mmmm, read….) No! Blog! Anyway: Thursday: Eye doctor appointment was a bust because Gene’s vision insurance is quirky. I need to investigate it but Thursday wasn’t the day. Dropped the hounds off…
