And now it’s Sunday night and I have to go to bed in a couple of hours and then get up and go to work. And I don’t want to. I love love love my job, but sometimes I mean that more in the “I have a job” way as opposed to the “going there…

The 2011 Dead to Me List
YTD, of course, as we say in the Big Payroll Biz ;): Xavier Georgia Tennessee Syracuse Texas Notre Dame Louisville Purdue (!!!!????!?!?!?!) UNLV Vanderbilt Georgetown St. John’s Oh well, as Gene said to me at dinner last night, “It’s a good thing we don’t depend on your earnings as a sports forecaster”.
An Elderly Woman of 34…
So yesterday was my birthday. It was a good day. I woke up (after going to bed at 10:15 on the 21st) at 11:57 pm and stayed awake just long enough to wish myself a happy birthday. And then I woke up again every couple hours just for grins. I worked until only 6:15 (ie,…
Gonzaga, I luvs ya…
Whoops. Okay okay okay. It turns out my earlier post where I roasted poor Gonzaga over the coals for getting beaten by St. Johns was incorrect. (Well, not about the only one choice for a major part; that part is 100% true). It turns out that Gonzaga actually won the game but that I neglected…
The 2011 Dead to Me list…
So, March Madness has started and as in years past, I am following the goings on as only someone with the barest understanding of WTF is going on can. First, thanks Louisville for totally effing up my Sweet 16. Break my heart, why don’t you? I mean, Morehead State? WTF?? And Vanderbilt, don’t think that…
That does it.
I want to go to Indianapolis again. But only if I can be 15 years old, too. Oh, for the carefree days of not worrying about how to explain to a client that, despite the fact that they are paying for us to take care of their Tax Stuff, we won’t do anything about their…
Breaking News: My Dog is an A$$hole
All 3 of the dogs get a pill every day. Betty gets a fish oil pill to help with her hip (she’s fine, it rarely bothers her, but we’re trying to prevent issues when she gets older). Sadie gets a Bufferin to help thin her blood (it’s a heartworm thing). Scooby gets a “pink” treat,…
laundry grumble…
Watching Gossip Girl (thanks to the internet) motivates me to fold the laundry and make the bed every Sunday evening, but now it’s on a 6 week hiatus (WHY???). Whatever will I do to motivate myself?* Bleh! and I also have finished the Daria and The State DVDs…
Movies…
So last Saturday we watched the second half of the Best Picture nominees. Well, 4 of them anyway… First up was Winter’s Bone. The heartwarming tale of a poverty stricken daughter searching for her father, a crank “cooker”, I think that this was 2011’s “Precious”. Gene and I both enjoyed it but were not sad…
Dad
So, my dad’s birthday was Thursday. Let’s all agree that he turned 29. He’s the strong silent type. He was never the type of Dad who could help us fix stuff (although, I take that back…there’s a bookcase that I bought unassembled that he helped me with after I stripped the original screws), but he…
