Respect the Beagle! Congratulations to Uno the 15-inch “traditional” (my term) Beagle, Best in Show at Westminster. (I know, I know, they’re like Nazis but still … look at the cute, cute doggies!) That said – please, please, please, if you’re thinking of adopting a dog, please go no further than petfinder.com. I would not…
Month: February 2008
Free at last, free at last…
etc, etc, I am free at last… So, remember when I wrote that everything Old(Boss) is New(Boss) again? Well, it’s official. I’m now back to being under Human Resources’ wing. So now I have to really bring my A game to work. Gwendolyn (f/k/a Old Boss f/k/a Old New Boss) checks internet cookies. Yikes. What…
Hey, what happened?
Harumph. Friggin’ 30 degree day today. (Well, OK, the high was technically 49 but it was 32 when I was walking outside to drop our taxes off at the accountant’s). So much for my glorious balmy February. Gene’s talking about uprooting us to KANSAS – probably no balmy Julys there, let alone Februarys. (The move…
O, the land of cloudless days…
It is February. It is over 60 degrees. Convertible envy came early this year. (mmm, Toyota Solara). I know I’ll curse this when it’s 80 degrees on Thanksgiving again but right now it’s lovely. I have an entire drawer of sweaters that have remained unworn AGAIN this year. Seriously, my fellow Northerners. Move here now….
Hi, my name is Elaine…
…and I like to torture myself by going to Petfinder.com. The whole deal is that Gene and I have a deal – three dogs and no human baby or two dogs and 1 baby. Obviously, we have the 2 dogs part taken care of. Sometimes, I really want a third dog. I have named her…
Why yes, this quiz does come from Noggin’s website…
(BTW – up there where it says that I wake my brain up by reading the news, just imagine it says “By watching The Colbert Report and reading DListed”).
Agggh, noooo
Gene has the flu. Doctor Hottie gave him a prescription for Tamiflu. And one for me, too, to take “just in case”. Oh please. Pleaseplease do not let me get sick like Gene. Seriously. If I get sick like Gene is sick (as in down for the count sick), I suspect we’ll just have to…
But first, a movie review…
So Gene and I have now seen all of the Best Picture nominees this year with the exception of Atonement (I’m trying – and failing – to finish the book first). Last night we went with our Athiest Friends (it’s 1 couple, not like there’s a club or something) to see There Will Be Blood….
Everday is like Sunday
Especially today, as today IS Sunday. Hilariously, we ended up watching the halftime show (Tom Petty?? Really??) and the second half of the Super Bowl. I don’t know why. I guess that Gene’s judgement is broken right now. I really really really do not want to go to work tomorrow. I have two days of…
Hi, Hi
Nothing new here in Cheesecake City. Was I the only person who thought that the Super Bowl was LAST Sunday? I thought it was always in January. Anyway, Gene and I have different plans for Super Bowl Sunday: Elaine: Geeking, listening to Sirius 22 Gene: Laying (or lying, whatever) in bed, begging for yummies from…
