The in-laws are gone and I am dancing a festive jig. We all had a good time but it’s always nice to be back to our regular schedule. They left a day early (woot! wooot!) so now Gene and I have a weekend to ourselves. Anyway – when I wasn’t writing loony toon blog posts (sorry…

One more thing to be thankful for…
My remaining grandmother is ill and in the hospital. I am thankful that she is not as sick as she was when she was admitted. (!!Here is when the post takes a turn for the bizarre. It happened quickly!!) When I see her at Xmas, I would like to tell her** there is a moratorium…
Thankful ’06
Happy Thanksgiving. I am thankful for… …Having a job. I don’t always like DOING the job, but at least I’m not unemployed. …Having a wonderful husband who, just a minute ago, came up behind me and kissed me on the ear. …Having two awesome dogs who did not react badly when my nephew pulled fur,…
Christmas again?
Christmas Wrapping by The Waitresses is on Sirius. And it begins again. ::siiiiigh:: Actually, while I’m thinking of it… “Elaine’s List of Highly Acceptable Xmas Songs” 1) Fairytale of New York – but only the original by The Pogues feat. the Late, Great Kirsty MacColl. 2) Please Come Home for Christmas– preferably the Eagles version,…
Soooo::yawn::oooo Tired
I was off work this afternoon and I grocery shopped (the second visit of infamy). Turns out I’m not really done – I still need celery root and creamer and beef short ribs. I also hit Target and Kohl’s for a chair cover for Gene’s old chair. Like the title says, I am soooo–yawn–oooo tired.
Hooray, Hurrah, etc!
Leaving work tomorrow at 1. Can’t. Freaking. Wait.
So don’t let the bastards grind you down…
I have a TV in the bedroom again. Phew. The A/V company arrived around 9 AM Wednesday and was at the house until 7 pm. I am deeply, deeply ashamed, but I love it. New TV, etc in the living room as well. It is decadent. I told Gene it is the A/V equivalent to…
Two grocery trips = good idea
My shopping list for Thanksgiving is two pages long. I did half the shopping today (the stuff for tonight’s dinner and non-perishable Thanksgiving food). Two trips was Gene’s idea, but it was a great one. My cart was freaking full. I seriously would have needed Gene to come with me and push his own cart…
::peeks head up::
is it Black Friday yet? ‘Cause I’m just about to pop with all of this Thanksgiving planning! We are hosting Thanksgiving for my in-laws again this year. Since I am married to famous chef Jean (ok, Gene), there has to be a menu and it has to be planned. Pshaw. Do you know how many…
The look of a blog…
So, I’ve changed my design a few times recently. Aren’t we all glad I got rid of the header with Betty giving us some sort of come hither look? I tried designing a new header but it appears to not freaking work – if you hit the blog for the 5 minutes it was up, you…
