So, it appears that All, Downy and Purex are serious when they say “UNSCENTED FORMULA.” I know this because I just did laundry (yes, in Columbus) using Purex’s 3 in 1 laundry sheets and whooo, this “Oasis Fresh Scent” crap is totally cloying. I never realized how much the smell of detergent and fabric softener…
Month: December 2009
Super Payroll Wednesday…
The last payroll processing for 2009 is tomorrow. Like the day before Thanksgiving, it’s going to be a marathon processing where I handle two days of work in one day. Plus, we can’t make any errors – it hasn’t been that many years since I used to print a used car’s worth of payroll correction…
Sorry!
I am sorry that I haven’t posted much of interest lately. It’s all in the drafts and I can’t bring myself to post it. The whole not doing IVF after all thing has really got me down and there’s a lot to say about it, just not here. I am certain I will post here…
I’m dreaaaaaming of…
a white December 18th… (Oooh, it is yucky outside in Cheesecake City! Snow! I don’t think it’ll stick but I am certain tomorrow our entire area will be a giant skating rink. So, I guess I won’t leave the house. Darn).
Note to self:
Self, the closest place to buy Thompson Grapes is the Piggly Wiggly grocery store 3 hours away. (Oh well. Mom, this means the pressure is doubly on you – you have to make the fruit salad for Xmas, OK? I know it’s expensive, but I will pay you. Or stick a freakin’ bow on it,…
Can I be absolutely honest?
I will probably either delete this post or leave it as a draft, but here goes: …I don’t want to wrap Xmas presents. …Or send out Xmas cards. …I almost cancelled our trip up north for Xmas. I didn’t, though, because I really really want to see my family. I even strong armed Gene (well,…
Santa: Baby
Nothing new on the baby front – one of us kinda freaked the eff out about actually paying for the care n’ upkeep of a Small Person, so the other of us is just Not Thinking About It But Hopes For Better News in Early 2010. (Oh, and one of us respectfully requests no Plan…
Disposall
(that is not a typo, that is how the late great Blanche pronounced disposal, as in garbage disposal. That was one of those Blanche things that made me nuts before she died but now I can’t say “disposal” the right way half the time). So, guess what appliance croaked at our house? Yes, the garbage…
A new record…
So, the Xmas music started today at work. Congratulate me – I made it to 9:15 before making a face about the annoying music. (The song was “Hey Santa” by the Wilson Sisters). Only 19 days to go! In other news, yes, I *DID* sing along to Darlene Love’s “Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)” when…
Old Dogs…
So, Scooby is 6 years old. He is not my cuddly dog – he is long legged, full of sharp corners. We trained Betty to drop things using a command called “Leave it!” (and this works even when she has something delicious like wet food). When we tried to do the same training for Scooby,…
