“We got something for Nikki,” I said in a sing-song voice. Nikki’s body wiggled as she knew that voice meant the large package I was opening was for her. Just an hour before, Dan and I had been at Target, and as we passed the dog beds, we found one we liked. I had been wanting [...]

Performance Evaluations
Posted in Crazy Ideas, Dan, Huh?, Looney Lynda, That W Place, Uncategorized on April 25, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Driving back to work after lunch on Wednesday, I started thinking about those dreaded Performance Evaluations that we get at work. And I started wondering what it would be like if it was applied to marriage. Now let me warn you, in no way should you make assumptions about my marriage to Dan with this [...]
Caution: Nerds At Work

me: I think computer viruses should count as life. I think it says something about human nature that the only form of life we have created so far is purely destructive. We’ve created life in our own image.
- Stephen Hawking
Dan: Heh, except that a virus isn’t considered life
Oh, started reading an interesting book
me: Read [...]
Ugh.

Almost every day, Dan and I go to a grocery store for lunch. About a week and a half ago, I decided, “Hey, we are in a grocery store. I have been wanting fruit. Grocery stores sell fruit.” Yeah, sometimes I am slow.
So, for the past week and a half, I have been buying oranges, [...]

So apparently, it happened this morning. It’s all over the news. It the first thing my co-workers talked about. “Where were you?” my coworker asked me and another who walked in the door. “Probably in bed, she says.”
The other coworker replies. She said he wasn’t in bed, because she gets up at 5:30 a.m. I [...]
Dream State

Sometimes when I go to sleep, I will sleep for about 45 minutes, then wake up because of some dream. Last night, it was a dream about my sister. It wasn’t a visitation dream, like I sometimes have, where I wake up feeling like she stopped by to let me know things were ok, and [...]
Happy Taxes!

Well, my mom will be happy to know we have our taxes done. A day early too!
In the decade plus some Dan and I have been married, Dan has done our taxes. I would take them someplace if I was doing them. Math and I don’t get along. Every year, we end up doing them [...]
I Have Two Questions….
Posted in All About Me, Dan, Huh? on April 14, 2008 | 9 Comments »
1) What the heck did I use to write about, that I could do a post, or sometimes two or three posts, every day?
2) Do any of you have your spouse roll over on your while you are sleeping. And I don’t mean in the “Oh, baby, let’s get it on” kind of way. I [...]
Don’t Come To My Window
Posted in Dan, Huh?, In The 'Hood, Nikki, The boys on April 9, 2008 | 10 Comments »
Yesterday, Dan and I went grocery shopping. We drove home and came back to another parking lot scene. It was nice out, so we opened the window to let in the fresh air. Around 8:30 p.m, we hear the neighbors yelling out “Happy birthday!” to someone. Dan looks at me with a smile and says, “Think [...]
If My Sister Were Alive Today….

I would totally tease her about this group getting back together. I am sure my brother would, too.
Laurianne was a big NKOTB fan. Jacket, all the albums, books, whatever was out there. I’d totally would have teased her.
That’s what siblings are for!
Happy birthday, little sis!
