or something.
Monday, April 30th, 2007So it’s Monday. Man, tomorrow is May. Hard to believe.
Occasionally I will find myself humming strange songs – Christmas carols in the summer, etc. Today it is “La Marseillaise” with “rinka” instead of the actual lyrics, so it’s something like “A-rinka-rinka-rinka-RINK-a-rinka-rinka-rinka-rink, rinka-doo.” Just put me in Rick’s Place with the other [...]
and other news for y’all
Sunday, April 29th, 2007So I finally got around to coloring my hair, so I am not all grey-haired and old looking anymore. Woot.
I had a new flavor of Diet Pepsi Jazz today – Caramel Cream. Quite good. I can see myself becoming addicted to it.
open post to anyone who lived in Rochester during the 70’s
Sunday, April 29th, 2007…do you miss the Channel 21 Auction as much as I do?
I mean, yeah, it’s still around, but it’s all online. I miss the boards with the blue pads of paper they would write the high bids on. I miss the little cartoon they would run to explain how the auction works (with [...]
I hate talking on the phone.
Wednesday, April 25th, 2007So I have to call all the parents in Otto’s kindergarten class to remind them of the PTA Staff Appreciation Luncheon in a few weeks.

One of the poems was about a girl who stabbed ants with needles.
The other [...]
free food is always good

and now an entry about lucy and other things
Wednesday, April 11th, 2007she’s sleeping on top of the sofa next to my head, and SNORING.
in the kitchen, we have sort of a half-wall that divides the kitchen proper from the entryway. This is where we hang our coats and take off our shoes and all that. It comes up to maybe a few inches below [...]
whatever and blah
Monday, April 9th, 2007Easter was pretty much ham and chocolate, like any good Easter should be. Otto had Friday and has all of this week off. Mr. Whitney took off Friday and today, so for those days I only had to worry about getting myself up and cleaned up and dressed and all that. So [...]

Wednesday, April 4th, 2007We’re supposed to get SNOW Thursday-Saturday. This sucks. I was looking forward to finally taking the rubber mats out of Miffy and putting away all the hats and gloves. Phooey.
Tomorrow Steve is taking me to the bank we represent on closings to meet people and eat donuts. Roxor.
Otto is doing the training [...]
AND I LOST MY LEGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!
Sunday, April 1st, 2007Yesterday we watched The Departed (five second review: Goodfellas et al were better) and so therefore I immediately had to download
