Tomorrow is April Fool’s Day. (Dammit, I just remembered that I need to change the air filters tomorrow). Gene looooves April Fool’s Day. Last year he called me from Bumfuck, Kansas (look on a map, it’s right there) to say he’d been arrested and that he needed me to Western Union bail money. Dork. He…
Category: Sweet Things My Husband Has Done
Remember 26 days ago?
When I said I’d put a post written by Gene on the blog? And then 26 days passed and I hadn’t done it yet? Well, HERE! (And please remember that Maaahhh Huzzband is a lifetime member of the NRA). OK, read the article above first. I’m not going to rehash everything in there, but comment…
Elaine: Now With More Old
(Today is my 30 29 30th birthday). (I really am the same OLD girl I used to be!) And it was actually a damn fine birthday! First person to wish me a Happy Birthday was my sweet huuuuusband (for some reason, whenever I say “my husband” it sounds like some sort of Steel Magnolias reject)….
Introducing…
So, much like the Cosby Show in its waning years, I’ve been debating bringing in a new character…and what a character he is: He is also the sweet man I married (psst, when I put something in the “Sweet Things My Husband Has Done” category, he’s the “My Husband”!). (OK, FINE, I stole the idea…
OMG OMG OMG
OMG! Gene may have to make a business trip to a certain country that is the home of the Beatles, the Queen and Bridget Jones. OMG. And I may get to go with. I am NOT joking. Gene may also have to make a business trip to a certain country that is home to curry,…
Blah Blah Blah, Happy Valentine’s Day
Nothin’ doing here in the Cheesecake City. Next week sometime will be the TEN YEAR anniversary of when Gene and I met for the first time. TEN YEARS. That’s like, a second fourth (?) grader. I wrote in Gene’s card that the last ten years have gone by in the blink of an eye and…
The dangers of lip-synching
Gene’s morning meeting begins with music. Actually, what he does is turns the iPod to something non-threatening (this is a concern as his iPod play list includes a lot of songs that are typically under the banner of “Pole Anthems”) and cranks it up. Today’s first selection was “Brandy, You’re a Fine Girl” (speaking of,…
Meet me in St. Louis, Louis?
So, recently Gene has been hopped up about wanting to visit St. Louis, MO. It was a real puzzle to me. Why St. Louis? It’s around 16 hours away and I wasn’t especially excited about taking vacation time to go there. And for some reason, he was insistent upon visiting over one specific time period…
Travelin’
BTW, while en route from Indianapolis yesterday I found another thing to appreciate about Detroit (besides my friend Julie): The Peanut Butter & Jelly restaurant at the airport. Really. I had a peanut butter and banana sandwich at the gate in Detroit. The specialty of the house was peanut butter and bacon on cinnamon raisin…
Things Get Stupider-er
Remember when Gene temporarily adopted Awesome-O? We now have Awesome-O’s brother. Except he’s favoring one leg, doesn’t like other dogs, and has play nipped Gene’s hand. Do you know how hard it is to get Animal Control over to your house on New Year’s Day? I spoke to Cheesecake City PD twice today and the…
