Category: Really Deep Thoughts

Another week down. Today, I did what I think is my final task for employee appreciate day 2004. Each restaurant drew the names of their guests (from comment cards) for $20 gift certificates to the restaurant. It was my task (actually, one of the 18 tasks) to compile the addresses and mail out a letter…

I am so scared. Gene had a moderately icky day at work today that was much like my moderately icky day Monday (those of you in the know will know what I mean). Part of me believes it will all work out (it always, always does) but the rest is still very scared. One of…

My buddy at work (actually, her college age daughter) gave me two stickers that proclaim “God Doesn’t Care!” in big letters. I’m not sure what I should do with the stickers, but I like having them. Anyway, Betty is home from the vet after her (its) operation. I told her to get a man while…

I’m not going to get too descriptive, but it was a moderately icky day at work. But, at least it’s over. ‘night

Saw two movies onTV this weekend. Actually, saw 2 and finished a third. (I love my PVR — run out and get one now if you’re a loser like me without a social life). 1) Saw Mona Lisa Smile on Starz at 3 (or 5?) AM Saturday morning. Maybe it’s just because I watched it…

This is the painting that Gene’s brother, sister in law and mother gave to us for our wedding. It was in an art auction at the Columbus (OH) Museum of Art, where Melissa (our SIL) works (or maybe worked — she’s finishing her PH.D and doesn’t always have time to work outside the home). 

Here is life with two dogs. I promise they’re just playing and neither is really vicious! 

Today was Scooby’s graduation from Basic class at PetsMart (he PASSED!!!!!!). They took a Polaroid of him in the graduation cap but I wasn’t ballsy enough to ask for a minute to use my handy dandy new digital camera. Yeah, El@ine has a digital camera. After lunch, we went to a camera shop across the…
