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…
OK, Target…
you are really pissing me off. I’m trying to read Target’s weekly ad online. The paper version is in the back seat of my car and finding it? Would require I get up. Forget that. There’s an item I’m interested in, but there’s no way to zoom in to really see the item. And it shows the…
Another note on Xmas…
(Sorry about the last post -who knew she could type without thumbs?) When we moved into our house here in Cheesecake City, we always bought “real” Xmas trees. They were such a pain the ass. Eventually, I conned Gene into buying a fake Xmas tree. It is up in the attic and hard to get…
and now, a word from Betty the Corgle
“Mommy has informed me that someone got to her blog by searching for ‘What does a beagle/corgi look like?’. Well, imagine Snow White with Luis Guzman’s forehead, and you’re somewhere close. Beagles are geniuses and Corgis…well, you do know the Queen of England raises them, right? Proof enough! Now, stop asking dumb questions and bring…
Work
(Not mine. Gene’s). He’s on a call right now (yes, 10 PM on a Sunday) and just asked if the computer that is down is doing anything at 10 PM on a Sunday. The person told him, “Well, it’s processing payroll.” And then Gene did something that will NEVER happen where I work. He made the…
Mmm, meatloaf…
Actually, mmm, meatloaf. Finally, I have a meatloaf recipe that doesn’t come out the consistency of pate’ (stupid Ann Landers meatloaf). It’s the first time I’ve cooked in a week or two. I have a full menu for this week (except for Thursday, I think, as it is Check Cutting Thursday and I usually just…
Darkness fills my heart w/ pain
So, have I ever told you that I never hated my mom? Not even when I was 13 and knew way, way, WAAAAY more than she did? I really never went through this. I wouldn’t call her my best friend, but she ranks pretty high up there on the list. I was never embarassed to…
