So, I don’t know. I’m thinking it may be time to add to the family. It’s been nearly 1 year since Betty passed away, so nearly 1 year since we moved to Texas. And what nicer way to cap off this (very good, very bad, very weird, all in one) year than by adopting a… Continue reading New dog, maybe?
It’s All Over Now, Betty Boop
So. The terrible awful thing that happened the day after we got to TX. (Hideous Spoiler Alert: As of today, we only have two dogs now) Anyway. Early in 2016, Betty was taking a long time to pee. I’d noticed it even in Cheesecake City but chalked it up to her being old. Eating like… Continue reading It’s All Over Now, Betty Boop
The last 6 months
So, here’s what I’ve been up to in the last year Coworker J and her husband got pregnant. The second J told me this great news, I demanded to get to host her baby shower. The LaineyD from 2009 is horrified that I would attend a shower, let alone host the damn thing. The shower, initially… Continue reading The last 6 months
With all Due Respects to Pee Wee Herman…
The stars at night are big and bright (clap clap clap clap) Deep in the Heart of Texas! So we’ve moved (Me, Gene, Scooby and Sadie; more on that later). And I finally realized that I needed to try and start writing here again. So I’m here. Welcome Home LaineyD
A Little More Conversation
Hey outside world! So, to catch us up: Survived another year end in payroll. Previously, year end meant that life was an 11 on the busy scale for about a month, complete with working 6 day weeks and then it leveled out to about a 7 on the busy scale for the rest of the… Continue reading A Little More Conversation
Well, that was silly
Crazy shit I have done lately: 1) Posted 8 month old draft on blog for no conceivable reason 2) Lost my mind and good manners and was extremely rude to someone in a customer service position. (Seriously rude. And now I have to attend the Best Picture Showcase in disguise). I’m blaming point #1 on… Continue reading Well, that was silly
2013 Year in Review
1. What did you do in 2013 that you’d never done before? I ran away from home. Never tried that before. 2. Did you keep your new years’ resolutions, and will you make more for next year? My 2013 resolutions were to read better books from time to time, take more bubble baths, keep taking… Continue reading 2013 Year in Review
Dear Immune System…
Dear My Immune System: It’s December, so it’s time for me to make my annual reminder: There is no getting sick in December. There is altogether too much to do! (Sidebar: People of Earth! Can we please move Christmas to July for real? I get that you want to decorate your house, your car, your… Continue reading Dear Immune System…
Thankful ’13
Okay, this is my second swing at this. The first was getting too maudlin and vaguebloggy and blah. Anyway, I love all of you and I am thankful for all of you and your influence on my life. It’s been a year of laughter and tears and I am freaking glad it’s nearly over! I… Continue reading Thankful ’13
Breed All About It
First things first: Gene has informed me that our next dog should be named Patrice, after the much maligned character on How I Met Your Mother. Considering that three dogs puts us above capacity, I assume that he will have forgotten this whim by the time we’re in the market for a new dog. (I… Continue reading Breed All About It
