Happy Birthday Baron vonPlaque!
Yes, kids, it’s my long suffering and (somewhat) anonymous husband’s birthday!! Another birthday, another Betty Crocker chocolate cake, and another year of my annoyances. Happy birthday, dear heart, and thank you for being you. (birthday wishes for BvP below, please…)
Lazy Holiday Weekend
I’m sorry, Internet…I’ve nothing exhilirating to blog about. Baron vonPlaque is home visiting his family again, (with my brand new PlayStation Portable) and I’m left to putter about the house, working on computer networks, and the like. I turned down…
Hard eight
As per Mom’s wishes, this afternoon was spent at the Borgata. Again. (The gambling gene runs straight up my Mom’s branch of the family tree…we are unrepentant.) I had a twenty dollar bill to play with. I was going to…

Christmas Wrapup
I can’t believe it’s over. I wait all year for Christmas, I get one measly day off and it’s done. Christmas Eve we went to my cousin Sue’s house. She had “Seven Fishes” Christmas Eve dinner, which is a tradition…
All is calm
Thor’s parents are here, and all is well. In appreciation of their visit, Max crapped in the dining room. Lovely dog. Really. (rolls eyes) I’m dismissing myself shortly. Nothing to do here, except surf the web. So in case I…
It goes both ways
On the way home from work, I passed a Holiday Inn. On its message board was the line, “There is always room at our Inn.” Alert! Alert! Somebody notify the PC police, because I THINK that note invokes the Christmas…
