let’s talk about seeing Former Boss Gwen at the bookstore. It’s a funny story. Please don’t recommend that I should be institutionalized, OK? So, I was sitting in a fast food drive through one Sunday afternoon. I’d gone…somewhere (library? mall?)…and promised Gene I’d bring him home a drink. I’m staring off in the distance while…

Other stuff, not maudlin or crazy…
1) Shopping for a new phone. May actually join the 21st century and get a smart phone. I have my eye on the HTC (?) Inspire. If you’re thinking, “Hey, Elaine, aren’t you typing this crap on a MacBook? Don’t *they* have a cell phone?”, my answer is, “Yeahhh. No.” Too expensive (even w/ Gene’s…
once in awhile…
A few times a year I get an email from the photography company who takes the pictures of theme park guests, advertising some great new special. It includes a picture of the Boy and I, taken on a theme park day in (I think) 2007. I usually don’t even open the emails but today I…
Monday grumble…
1) My archrival at work Broomhilda has already asked off the week of Nerd World 2011. So pissed off about this, can barely form words. Broom’s not even going to Nerd World, why does she need that specific week off?? Auuuugh! 2) No really. AUUUUGH. 3) Sometime before Easter I ordered a cute laptop case…
So where the hell have *I* been?
So! 1) The hosting for Laineyd.com comes due on 4/30/11 and this year I procrastinated paying it until May 9th. Until I finally got around to paying for hosting, I didn’t want to post here because it felt a little like stealing. 2) Debating the Purchase of a New Dishwasher (eventually deciding against it for…
Sadie Fudd*
OMG, Easter 2012 is cancelled and it’s my dog’s fault. So, this morning I was running late due to a early morning headache (fixed by Aleve because I don’t have time for a migraine on a work day) that resulted in sleeping late. I had to rush around to get lunch made (mmm, leftover ham!)…
Stupid things I did this week…
But first, breaking news: I desperately want a donut. Am considering getting up tomorrow AM specifically to go to the grocery story and buy Krispy Kremes (oh, for the luxury of a Krispy Kreme shop nearby!) but am also terrified the grocery story will be closed or out of Krispy Kremes. May have to go…
Dear clients…
If your check date is tomorrow, don’t call us at 4:45 and expect me to take down your payroll, key your payroll and process your payroll by 5 PM. I don’t care that the other team was able to do that. (OK, fine, I pulled it off but they are getting an email that says…
The risotto that wasn’t…
So, about once a week we make dinner in the crock pot. This week, it was crock pot risotto. Well, okay, it ended up being more like crock pot mush. You know how when you stir something all the smaller pieces kind of whirl around and get mixed up? Somehow, stirring this was more like…
Hey, stupid
Point #1: Just enjoy the fact that you do not desperately NEED any appliances and stop window shopping for them. You’ll need a new fridge, dishwasher and dryer soon enough but probably not all at the same time (Sears 20% off 3 appliances sale be damned). Click away from the Slickdeals.net threads about great sales…
