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,…
Trying to outstupid the stupid…
So, Gene and I have decided that we are going to out-stupid both Balloon Boy and the White House party crashers: we are going to have a kid parachute his way into the White House. I am pretty sure my nephew Hank will do it. He’s 3. In other news, it feels like we are…
Shopaholic Takes eBay…
So. I was very good and did not spend ANY money on Black Friday (it helps that I was working from 9-5, so I didn’t even think of trying midnight shopping again). (Not that I would have, actually, as Gene made it clear that he did midnight shopping once and would never do it again)….
Thankful ’09
(Because I am a geek who loooves the search feature, here are previous Thankful posts 2008 2007 2006) (Subtitled: It’s Thanksgiving, Bitches!) So, what am I thankful for at the end of 2009? …I am thankful to have Gene, a husband who loves me for reasons I cannot always fathom. He is giving, accepting, loving,…
On to 2010…
So, I had my big doctor’s appointment on Tuesday. Everything went well with Dr. K and his nurse but the “financial counselor” (aka the Money Lady) actually thought we should pay for IVF. Paying for medical treatment! Of all the wacky concepts. The money bottom line is big but not impossible so we are going…
