What's A Girl To Do...

when she realizes her shirtdress is more of a shirt than a dress after she's arrived at work? Such is my dilemma today. You live and learn.

Observation:

How appropriate that I changed my template to incorporate this picture before I even read the passage below.

Weather or Not

I'm so glad the weather has cleared up. Now I can do things I wouldn't have been able to do if it was cloudy like: go to the gym, drive home, eat cereal and watch tv.

Pet Peeve

I'm convinced the man who sits behind me doesn't know how to chew with his mouth closed.

~editorial note: this is not my co-worker

Comparison

Photoshop is making it harder to appreciate natural beauty. I'll go out on a limb here and compare photoshop to breast implants.

Remember When...

cd's took the place of cassette tapes? I remember thinking "I wonder what will take the place of cds?"
It's so interesting to be on the other side of that question. To know the answer, when I remember thinking the question as if it was yesterday.

Tranny Service

Logic has today off and was spending his morning prepping the living room for the maple floor we're (er, he) is laying. He brought the saw back upstairs (we moved it downstairs while my babies were here) and as he did, he dropped wood shavings all along the stairwell.
Deciding to be a good neighbor, he got out the shopvac and took it to the hallway - making sure to leave our condo unlocked.
Once in the stairwell, he remembered the extension cord was in the garage and went outside to get it. Only, he forgot to prop the outside door open so when he returned from the garage he found himself locked out.
I left my office to save the day since all our neighbors had left for work and Logic was outside in the cold. I took my usual route and as I drove down 4th Ave S I noticed a sign for King's Transmission that said, "Tranny Service". Now, I'm not sure if that was intentional or not - but I laughed all the way home.

Comparison

People continue to compare KFed to Vanilla Ice.
That's a little harsh, don't you think?
Vanilla Ice wasn't THAT bad.

For Future Reference

The Seattle Metro does NOT allow any flammable substance on their busses. This is important to note when running late for an appointment and carrying a camping lantern.

The Man Period Cont.

I've come to the realization that my co-worker may not have a man period but may, in fact, be able to sense mine and therefore leaves me alone for a day or two.
During his last period, I realized we were syncing up. Which I found amusing until I noticed a pattern. Now I'm convinced that he doesn't have a period at all. It's just that I'm so unbearable for those few days that he knows better than to talk to me.

Drug Testing

My office is very relaxed. We've had pajama day, okay?
But only a moment ago, a senior administrator walked around and asked everyone what they enjoyed drinking. A friend joked that he only smoked and snorted.
After she left I couldn't help but wonder if that's my company's way of drug screening.

*in all actuality, there was left over liquor from happy hour last week and she surprised us by bringing some drinks to our desks.

Is That a Sign?

Okay, so I may have a problem. I *might* spend a good chunk of my day surfing one particular site that has a really nice variety. It's easy to get carried away and realize a half hour later that you're at work and shouldn't be tracking down a size 7 Seychelles boot. But that hasn't stopped me. Especially since I currently have a gift card to the site.
A moment ago I was flipping from one page to another when an advertisement came up for a book called "Shopaholic Takes Manhattan" (which I've read, btw). I'm wondering if this product placement was spontaneous or a sign that I may have a real problem.

Clinton Talks Back

I'm sure you've heard about this by now, but I had to share.
This is my favorite part:
"And you got that little smirk on your face and you think you’re so clever..."

The Man Period

There is a friend of mine who shall remain nameless. I think he might have a man period. I've waited months to write this - hoping to find a flaw in my experiment. But alas, he has only proven my theory more and more.
He goes from my genial partner-in-crime to a radiating beacon of aggression in a 24 hour timeframe. And it usually lasts a day or two before he returns to his former self.
Never is there any recognition of his Jekyll and Hyde persona.
Shh! Don't tell him I said that. He's on his period today.

Personalized T-Shirts

I recently read an article in Allure magazine about a woman who decided to make up some shirts that showcased her inner dialogue. For example, one shirt said, "I had to sell an egg" and she wore it to work to let her boss know that she thought she deserved a raise.
This got me thinking about what shirts I would want to wear. Here's my rough draft:

1) "I Know More Than My Boss Does"
2) "The Beer Mellowed Me Out
(Bet You Wish I Was Still Drinking)"
3) "I Don't Know What I Want To Be When I Grow Up"
4) "I Have Baggage"
5) "Former Rap Fan" (this just added)

Great Blog

I am laughing out loud because of this blog.
Enjoy.

Brother Carries Fetus of Twin for Over 30 Years

What an interesting story.

Does It Get Any Cuter Than This?

This is Charlie. She likes long walks on the beach and dressing up like a cave woman.*

If you would like to see more Pugs Dressed As Famous People you can go here.

*I made up the part about long walks on the beach, although I'm sure it's true.

Meth: Not Even Once

On our way into Fergus County we started seeing signs on the side of the road trying to deter people from trying Meth. The paintings were obviously done by school children and took a lot of time and effort. But having said that, we laughed our asses off.

Jobdango

How ironic that a bum would choose to steal a jobdango sign in order to beg for food. Don't you think? That is the sight Logic and I drove into downtown with this morning.
