RSSIt’s only once a year because it’s SO easy to get used to being treated like a Queen
Yesterday was a nice day, except for that whole having to go to work thing. I woke up and breakfast had been cooked for me - blueberry pancakes and sliced ham, mmm. Later, at work, I was loading glasses into the dishwasher behind the bar and had a bouquet of flowers shoved under my nose, courtesy of my son.
I pretty much never get flowers, so that was a really nice gesture. Plus? No one else at work got flowers delivered to them by their kids, so NYEH. 
While they were there, El Boyfriend told me not to worry about dinner because he was cooking. I had to tease him about that because EB does not cook beyond putting a Healthy Choice meal or a pot pie in the microwave. “What are you cooking, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches? Ramen noodles?” I’m lucky he can take a joke, I can be merciless sometimes.
I was working at the bar yesterday, and one woman came up to the bar and sat there by herself, and, stereotypically, had a sad story to tell. Her son had told her he’d take her out for Mother’s Day but ditched her to go to a ball game. Dude? YOU SUCK. So she decided to go out without him which is how she ended up sitting in front of me - I’d have done the same thing. “It’s my special day and you’re gonna go to a ball game instead? Screw you, I can treat MYSELF!”
So I got home and took a shower to get all the damn milkshake out of my hair. We have a new mixer for the milkshakes and I haven’t quite mastered the art of mixing the shakes without wearing them. And yep, EB cooked dinner while I washed up - no microwave used at all. He shucked and cut up fresh corn on the cob and threw it in a pot to poil with small red potatoes and a buttload of Old Bay seasoning. When those were done he added shrimp. He’s made that dish for me once before, and last night he wondered aloud why it wasn’t a little spicier, what with all the seasoning he’d used. Dude, seriously? I didn’t have to make it, therefore Best. Dinner. Ever.

Input, please!
I’m still, off and on, thinking abut a new domain name and recently went in search of tools to help me find one that will work. I finally came upon the Dislexicon, and plugged in my name. I felt my whole face brighten up when it gave me the word “Michellelogy.” I thought, “that would be a great domain name! It’s perfect!”
However, because I not only subscribe to, but am President, Dean, CEO, and Valedictorian of the first graduating class of the ”There is no such THING as perfect” school of thought, I didn’t buy it immediately. I now find I’m a bit concerned about the length and whether people will be able to spell it properly. I’m considering shortening it slightly to “michellogy.”
Your thoughts? Is it horrible and should I scrap it altogether? Should I keep it in reserve in case I can’t find something easier? Should I try to tweak it a bit more? What does it make you think of?
Now must go put pants back on. Sorry, gotta leave for work in a little while. Don’t think they’d appreciate me showing up bare-arsed…something about going against the “family-friendly” culture of the place. Or maybe just being out of uniform.
