1) I blog at laineyd.com. (I know, Duhhh right?)
\n2) I just found a problem with around 900 of my employer’s W-2s for 2008. I hope my boss remembers this the next time I forget to do something minor. (I talk about W-2s a lot this time of year, it’s just a weird thing about me)
\n3) I don’t always like my job – okay, I almost never like my job – but I am inexplicably committed to it.
\n4) When my husband is out of town I spend a lot of time on Pogo.com.
\n5) Okay, I do that when he’s in town too.
\n6) I also try to spend time reading and writing.
\n7) I finished The Time Travelers Wife earlier this week and cried like a baby.
\n8) When I was on vacation in Kuala Lumpur, I read 6 books. It was like a dream.
\n9) I have a degree in journalism but I have never, ever used it.
\n10) July will mark the 10th anniversary of graduating from college.
\n11) January marks the 8th anniversary of being a payroll clerk.
\n12) The above two facts are just sad.
\n13) I don’t have any children, but I have a stepson and two dogs. My husband says I can have three dogs and no babies or two dogs and one baby.
\n13A) It’s probably time to just get a third dog
\n13B) If for some reason we had triplets, would I have to get rid of the dogs?
\n14) I miss Indiana. I like where I live now and I love our house and our life, but I do miss Indiana.
\n15) I wish I’d stuck to my guns and voted for Stephen Colbert in November. Obama still won even without my vote. Heck, I don’t think my state ever officially was “called” either way.
\n16) 2009 feels a little bit like 1993 (the year Bill Clinton was sworn in as POTUS), but not quite as “It’s a wonderful whole new world!” as it was then. Then again, I was a teenager in 1993 and now I’m an adult. Makes sense I’d see things differently.
\n17) As I said above, I love living here (a large city in the Southeastern region of the US) but I hate it when people suggest everyone here is a hick. Southerners aren’t stupid.
\n18) For cryin’ out loud, they invented sweetened ice tea. How dumb could they be?
\n19) I lie about my age, but I do it humorously. I change my age frequently. It’s gotten to the point where even my own dad doesn’t know my real age. (31 going on 32)
\n20) My little brother just turned 29, so I am going to start telling people that we are fraternal twins.
\n21) I don’t know if my dad will buy that, though.
\n22) I love to do math in my head. I can’t sum big numbers but I do pretty well.
\n23) My high school senior prom was the only school dance I went to in high school.
\n24) I don’t know if I’ll ever have a kid, but if I do, I’d want her to grow up just like me.
\n25) Or else become a cheerleader. For real.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
