Girl Scout Cookies

Girl Scout Cookies are a strange thing.  When it comes time to buy, everybody is gung ho about buying.  Who doesn't want to help out those cute kids, and get a box of cookies?  It seems like you wait forever to get them.  You finally get those boxes and then something strange happens.  You dig in.  But after a week or so, do you notice you still have like 3 boxes left?  Who can really eat all of those things.  They sit there for a while and then you wonder if they are still good.  Am I the only one? 

Weekend Plans

It's funny how things never quite work out as expected.  All week long you plan out the things you are going to do over the weekend.  Then wouldn't you know it, by Friday afternoon all of your plans have changed.  Things pop up.  Things you forgot about that you need to finish.  All the little projects you need to do before springtime.  All the laundry and cleaning you need to do.  WHAM!!  The weekend's over.  Time to start planning for next weekend. 

Freezing Fog

I don't remember ever hearing about "freezing fog" or "black ice" when I was younger.  Maybe I wasn't paying attention.  I think meteorologists just like to make up cool sounding names.  I mean, do you think people 30 years ago were talking about freezing fog.  No, they just said it's foggy out here and really cold, so watch out for the ice on the roads. 

Dress Codes

I gotta admit, I'm not a big fan of dress codes.  I understand that there has to be some control over what we wear to work, but come on.  When it's 104 degrees in July and you have to wear pants to work, what is that all about?  Or what is the big difference between jeans and slacks?  They are both pants right?  I think people would function better if they got to wear t-shirts and shorts.  Why not?  I get it if you work in a store and people need to identify you, but when you sit in an office all day and never see customers.  Come on.

DVR

What a wonderful invention.  Don't you just love the new technology that we have available to us?  What did we ever do before DVR?  It was a pain in the ass to figure out how to set your VCR and you still had to cross your fingers that it would work.  DVR's are great.  Just set it and record.  You can watch whenever you want.  As much as you want.  You can finally catch up on shows or games that you couldn't watch live.  It gives you more flexibility to go out and do things without the risk of missing that show.  I love it.

HUH?

I'm okay with abreviations for some things, like titles and names.  I can't even understand half of the stuff I read on message boards online.  IMHO, LOL, WTF, etc.  (Did you like that etc?)  Anyways.  It takes me about 5 minutes to figure out what these things even mean.  I know I'm aging pretty quickly here.  I realize I'm almost 30, but come on.  What is the world coming to?  GALP (I just made that one up, Get A Life People).  Maybe that one will catch on. 

False Hope

January weather is brutal.  You don't know if it's going to snow or be 50 degrees.  That's why I think winter weather always gives us false hope that spring is right around the corner.  You get a couple of nice days and think about how great it is outside and of all the projects you've got to do.  I would almost rather it just stay cold until March.  Then suddenly it would be 50 or 60 degrees everyday.  That would be great.
