to help plan my funeral, please do not play weepy country songs, OK? Just play one or both of the following: 1) the “na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!” song 2) the song from the Vonage commercial (the one that goes “Woohoo, woohoohoo!”) And perhaps Leonard Cohen’s song “Closing Time” just for good…

Guess what I did…
10 years ago today? Graduated from Ball State University. Ten years ago today marked the satisfying finale to my educational career. Hooray! It is the proudest day of my life, still. I’m not using my degree, not even a little bit. I feel a little bad about it.
So, last Friday…
Last Friday Gene and I went to the Cheesecake City General Hospital for some testing in re: Plan B (lack thereof). And… hmm, well. It doesn’t look good. It doesn’t look impossible (yet, points out the little dark part of my head, the part that Googles in its free time). More testing in August, we’ll…
oh, that’s right!
My darling baby brother, Macaulay/Bill, kindly reminded me of one of the greatest parts of my entire wedding experience. And most of you were witness to this, but…what the hell, since when has redundancy ever stopped me? So, our rehearsal dinner was held at a Creole (?) restaurant in Cheesecake City. I chose it because…
7 years…
So, seven years ago today Gene and I got married. Just about everyone who reads this blog was there and like I said on Facebook, I am so thankful that everyone I love in the world was there. I have the pictures to prove it 🙂 This time 7 years ago, Gene and I sat…
Gene has discovered Pogo.com
…and we should all be nervous. So, he is playing WordJong (to try and earn my weekly badge). This game is like MahJongg but you have to spell words instead of match animal shapes. “Is Godfart a word?” Scandalized, I reply “NO!” “Are you sure? Godforsaken is a word.” “Okay, it’s two words but still,…
‘ears the thing…
Because I know you are all waiting with baited breath for an update on Elaine’s Ears, here it is! Now ‘righty’ is pissed off at all the attention ‘lefty’ has received and has chosen to take it out on me. Â Owwwwwww. (Righty, don’t have a tantrum. Use your words!) I emailed D at work today…
A reason for an iPhone…
(or at least a phone I could successfully use to post on the blog and/or Facebook). If I had an iPhone, I would have told you all this: “I wish you all could see what just came out of my ears!” So, my ears hurt. Mostly lefty, but righty isn’t too happy. I had planned…
When did I become old?
I need to work harder lying about my age. Gene and I are watching “Zack & Miri Make a Porno” and there is a scene with Justin Long (the guy who plays Mac in the “I’m a Mac, I’m a PC” ads) and Seth Rogen (the titular “Zack”) and Gene says, “There is no way…
TGIF
So, yesterday I had to lower everybody’s pay rates. Mine, the Almighty D’s, Gwen’s, Stefania *and* her Toady’s. Everyone. Managers I like, managers I hate. It hurt so bad to do that. I thought I might take a little glee when I lowered our Bonus Controller’s, but no. Â I folded the report so I could…
