Just love ’em. Work is annoying in some ways but pretty sweet in others. My employer finally gave the pink collars our long overdue raises (this is a new record – they were 8 months late this time), so that was nice. And having Gwendolyn as my boss is just wonderful. Having her to back…

2008 (Elaine’s) Super Bowl
So, another year, another Oscars has passed. Why do all the headlines trumpet that all the acting trophies went to Europeans? It almost sounds like someone is trying to make it a controversy. I just turned the TV on and AMC’s showing The Godfather. It just got to the scene where the movie producer is…
Elsewhere on the Internet…
I just found a freaking hysterical new (to me) blog – “Stuff White People Like.” C’mon, you know you want to click on the link. Seriously. Just do it. At least read the guest column about “Top Ten Hip Hop Songs White People Like.” And, a new time waster: Barack Obama is Your New Bicycle. (Good news:…
Did I ever tell you…
So, at work, Stefania’s Toady always burns candles. Some of them smell good, like cookies, and some of them smell like Eau de French Whore. Funny enough, the Eau de French Whore-scented candle makes me cough and makes my throat sore, but the cookies-scented candles do not. What I love is when the candle dies…
oof…
I am in a just awful mood. I have written two separate posts that I have had to just save as a draft because they are so very crabby that someone would probably send the authorities to my house to take me away. Let’s just say that chocolate is my friend (well, chocolate and Lunesta)….
IKEA, you win…
So did I tell you that Gene and I stopped at an IKEA in Virginia on our way to MD? While we waited for the cafe to change over to meatballs (seriously – who goes there to eat eggs?? Even if they are yummy, they are clearly not meatballs), we did the obvious thing and…
Very, very funny
Gene and I watched a movie today. It’s called “The Ten” and it’s all humorous sketches about the Ten Commandments. (Yes this really is Elaine’s blog and yes, I’m still an atheist). Anyway – the reason I wanted to watch it was because it starred many of the people from the 1990s sketch comedy show…
Please stop trying to rip off my leg…
…just in case you wondered how my leg/hip/ass-area injury was faring. (Oh, and my trainer said the injury is in my “oblique” area, which I guess is a French term for leg/hip/ass-area). (oh, and BTW, I just realized that the title of this post makes almost no sense. I’m trying to say that it feels…
On an unrelated note…
Since coming home 27 hours ago, I have both injured myself (somewhere between my hip and my ass – my trainer tried to show me where it was but I can’t remember the technical term) and caught a cold. (Holy crap if I gave that baby a cold I will leap into traffic – possibly…
Home
So we’re home from our longish weekend in Maryland to visit with the baaaaaaby (and his parents). The baby is something like 4 weeks old and weighing in at 8 lbs, something ounces. I spent a lot of time on Saturday talking alone with the mother. I really feel like she’s someone I can really…
