Yes, its time for another serving of Tales of Little LaineyD… 20 years ago, my mom and I went to see Fleetwood Mac perform in Indianapolis. Except for the shoes, I remember every stitch I had on. Before the show we had dinner at the restaurant attached to the venue, where we had the honor…

Thankful ’11
This year, what am I thankful for? I’m thankful for my husband. This year has been tough but it’s on the upswing. I’m hopeful that this holiday season will be the best one in the last few years. I’m thankful for my job. I’m pretty sure I won’t retire from Big Payroll, but it’s ok…
Better here than Facebook…
I want a puppy for Xmas. What the hell is wrong with me? I finally am in the process of un-breaking Scooby Doo (how the hell did he get scabies? And could I have contracted it from him?) and now I get this yen?? WTF? (Seriously, scabies is the second worst thing ending in -abies…
Awww, crap
It’s Sunday afternoon, isn’t it? Dammit. Can I have more time off please? Can I perhaps trick Gene into letting me be a stay at home dog owner? This past week off was really lovely (even though in my heart of hearts I would rather have been in Las Vegas, dammit) and I am so…
More Fox News
Since we don’t have cable at home, I have really enjoyed watching tv at grandpa’s house. We watch a lot of Fox News (he’s old and there’s a law – do you know any 89 year olds who watch MSNBC? No, because there are none) and I have realized that all of the women on…
Things I’ve learned from Fox News…
…The president is awful (secret service, I disagree so please do not wrestle me away) …Fox News viewers are obsessed with “cash into gold”, class action lawsuits, erectile dysfunction medications and Rick Perry …which reminds me: in his ad, Rick Perry refers to himself as a ‘do-er’ and every time I see it, I’m convinced…
Greetings from Arkansas
So, I’m on vacation. Here are some things that have happened..so far. (Also, my internet access is entirely from my phone so this will be short) 1) met weird lady @ Atlanta who felt the need to comment on every news story on headline news 2) had cinnabon @ cheesecake airport, used plastic fork missing…
Silver Dog Nouveau…
So, remember awhile ago when I wrote that it might be time to look into replacing White Dog (my beloved MacBook)? I think it was around Memorial Day, when Gene and I drove downy to the Apple store to let the Genius Bar take a look. I was flipping out again about the power cord….
The stuff I forgot to write yesterday
1) The word “stuff” makes me think of the word “stuf” as in Double Stuf Oreos. Mmm. I have also tried the Trader Joes version, the Joe-Joe, which is also good. I wonder if I can talk Gene into making a return trip to Trader Joes on Saturday after we drop the dogs at the…
No gnus is good gnus
(Surely I’ve used that blog title post before?) So. The latest: Work, work, work, work. I dream about work sometimes and I’ve come to the realization that sometimes working off the clock is OK if it means that I can feel some peace. I have a list of four or five really huge tasks that…
