Soup and Ice Cream (The Ying and the Yang)

Posted by: icagirl on: March 18, 2008

Another lunch with Milla today, and another opportunity for fun during the work day.  I wanted soup, so we ate soup.  She wanted ice cream, so we had dessert of ice cream.  Of course, this involved a lot of walking (from work to soup, from soup to ice cream, from ice cream to park, from [...]

Undomesticated Equines Could Not Remove Him

Posted by: icagirl on: March 17, 2008

This weekend, in the land of Girl, was pretty rockin’, meaning I had myself a good time. 
Friday night was a bring-the-beer shooting/flying game night, thanks to PS3 and Sam Adams’ White Ale.  Yummy!!!  Of course, my bro-in-law did not drink my girly beer (is there really girly beer?), instead partaking of some lovely Newcastle.  Since [...]

The Directions of Superiors

Posted by: icagirl on: March 11, 2008

“Go, use your pouty face!”
That was a direction just yelled at me (in all seriousness) by one of my bosses – to go use my “pouty face” on another one of my bosses.  It worked, but then I explained that I had been told to use the pouty face, and therefore, felt guilty.  (I firmly [...]

Endurance!

Posted by: icagirl on: March 10, 2008

This past week, I spent every single night at my sister’s house, watching her dogs while she was in Hawaii.  The down side is that one of the dog’s bit me and my hand hurts, the up side is that I was able to watch Endurance (kids.discovery.com) absolutely every single night.  It was awesome.  It [...]

Safety People

Posted by: icagirl on: March 7, 2008

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel as if there is a certain group of people I always fit in with.  Given any group of people, I gravitate toward the same types of people every single time.  This has been a life-long thing.  When I started my current job, I did the same thing.  I [...]

Failing at Life

Posted by: icagirl on: March 7, 2008

I’ve heard the phrase “I’m failing at life” way too much lately.  How do you fail at life?  I’m not sure.  I used to think death was failing at life, but even that’s not failure.  Your time to go is your time to go…  What are these people trying to do with their lives that [...]

Happy Surprises

Cause for celebration?  FriendOfGirl’s Birthday
Well, it was supposed to be a normal workday – craziness ensued early this morning and there was much running around.  Around 11 a.m. FriendOfGirl (a part-time America/part-time Germany resident) called me.  I was surprised (mainly because I thought she was in Germany) and told me that her [...]

No make-up? Never Again!!!

Posted by: icagirl on: March 3, 2008

So, every workday for the last eight years or so, I’ve worn make-up… Nothing too substantial, but make-up nonetheless.  Yesterday, after scrambling to make it to church on time (completely my own fault), I ran out of the house without make-up… none at all.  It wasn’t until I got to church that I realized this [...]

Beep …pause… Beep!

Posted by: orboy on: March 1, 2008

I’m hearing them again… SMOKE DETECTORS!  Replace your batteries people!
I mean it – one of these days I’m going to go berserk and take down the door of whatever apartment it is that has the dying smoke detector, find it, and smash it to bits. I can’t see how anyone can live with it going [...]
