Month: April 2005

that it was ethically possible to give the dogs a sleeping pill. Sometimes when I am here in front of the computer, Scooby will paw at me and he’ll have just been outside in the last 20 minutes, he’ll have plenty of food and water and it won’t have been too long since he was…

I made dinner tonight and it was really good. Since I have today off from chores (yippee!) I decided that I owed it to Gene and I that I try cooking. Hit the grocery store with absolutely no clue what I wanted to make. Stalked the canned soup aisle…nah, just couldn’t do it. Found the…

Someone challenged me to a showdown on Sploofus and for reasons completely unbeknowst to me, I got the question right and won nearly 20,000 points. Woohoo. The title of the post, BTW, is the official Elaine n’ Gene I Win song. I think I started that one, but Gene has definitely caught up. The swing…

Not a bad day at work. Came home, Sploofused a bit, talked to my Aunt (Dad’s sister) about Macaulay/Bill’s graduation. I hadn’t talked to her since Christmas so it was nice to catch up. In a good mood, then I ruined it by reading a sad story about a doggie on petfinder.com. It’s really a…

What’s new… 1) I should be an aunt on Friday. Not a lot is new with SIL and Cletus – oh, I’m supposed to call him by his ‘real’ name…but Friday’s not here yet and I like Cletus, and what if they decide to name the kid something goofy at the last minute? 2) No…

Because I sure missed you! I got home from Friday to find our Internet “down”. Begged Gene to “unbreak” the Internet. No good. Called our ISP and told them to unbreak the Internet. They said, “How about Thursday?” I thought, but I want my blogs and my Sploofus and my email. Oh, yeah. And Gene…

SIL is doing well and so is Cletus. Sounds like she’ll be in the hospital until the baby is born, on or around the 29th of April. If memory serves, this will make him about a month early overall. In addition, they’re moving (well, my BIL is) into the new house on the 28th. And…

So I’ve spent a lot of time recently on the phone with my grandfather (Dad’s dad). I’ve mentioned him before on the ‘blog but now I want to talk about him again. Grandpa is now retired to a small Southern retiree town but during his professional career, he was very successful. At one point, he…

Cleaned the fridge. By “cleaned” I mean, I took each shelf out and washed it with soap and hot water. I also got rid of any expired foods I hadn’t already disposed of (I’m pretty fanatical about expiration dates as you may know). It looks so good! And then I went to the grocery and…

You know, for the most part, I. Hate. My. Job. But on days like this, when I breeze in, fiddle around and breeze out at noon, not to be seen again until Wednesday, I don’t mind it at all. It’s easier to like your job (or workplace – these are terms I easily confuse) when…
