Driving out to another one of her meetings, this girl gets a call from The Princess telling her their feisty, hyperactive two year old German Shepherd had become suddenly paralyzed the night before and that things didn’t look promising. “We may need to put him down,” was all she said. “Keep me posted, I’ll go [...]
Revisiting the missing piece

This girl is good at letting go and closing chapters. She’s not one that stores mountains of keepsakes, or old things because they have sentimental value. She holds on to very few things, focusing on remembering things for the essence and memory of what they are than on the thing itself. And one of the [...]

Choir Mistress took this girl to the CD shop to buy herself three CDs for herself. It was a belated birthday present; Choir Mistress was in Uganda the past three weeks. Amongst the stash she got was the highly recommended Acoustic album by Everything but the girl. Its not a “new” band, but if you [...]

We are the sum total of our life experiences.

Zwieback texted this girl frantically with some “news” that she thought this girl should know immediately. Probably something told Zwie that there was only a small window of time to see about things. This girl, was unfortunately, at this time in a meeting and only saw the text after Zwie had the chance to send [...]
a little downtime would be nice

The funny thing about this girl being so busy these days is that when it is all systems go, she’s got the boundless store of energy that she was so accustomed to when she started working. Energies are up, engines are fired and she blitz. Meetings stack upon meetings, projects open into more projects, good [...]

Earlier this evening, this girl made yet another trip to the airport to see a dear friend off to what must be one of life’s greatest adventures.
The time is upon them that Smartest Friend is making her big departure to The States for what will be five long years of PhD studies at John Hopkins. [...]
Roland drum set for sale
Posted in the boy, the sock shop on August 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
The Boy has a drum set that is clearly taking too much space and will not be making it to the Town House. This girl is baffled as to why he even bought the set given- while able to drum- doesn’t really use the drums. He much prefers the guitar; in particular, this girl’s Jake.
Anyway, [...]
great eggspectations

The Boy has an egg allergy. Actually, he technically has an egg allergy along with allergies to Oysters, Cashew nuts, Milk, Soy and Kelp. In descending severity.
Its a cyclical allergy, so its not like he swells up or breaks into rashes; its an allergy where the body is unable to manage the “toxins” in certain [...]

And so the Town House is plodding along. Slow, but steady, one might call it. The main bulk of everything is done, the walls are freshly painted, the new doors are in, the walls and other fittings that wasn’t up to scratch has been disposed off and replaced with new ones deemed worthier that this [...]
turning the brain around

The Boy and this girl were being geeks one night surfing the net on their respective lappys when she found an old Herald Tribune site discussing the left-brain nature of our noggins. In the article, it featured the outline of a girl spinning on the heel of her foot and it suggested that the girl [...]
the week ahead

It still amazes this girl how her schedule can look all clear and comfy at the beginning of the week, only to have it totally fill up and crowd in before lunch on the first day of the working week.
Its the first day this girl is back in The Office and Miss P’s empty table [...]
things to remember

It still amazes this girl how accurately God knows her heart and what it needs for in the quietness, tiredness, weariness that has been the past few months, and what looks like the next few months, He softly whispers:
“I pray that Christ will live in your hearts by faith and that your life will be [...]

Quietly, with close friends and family, this girl turned 28 on the 8th of August. It went without much fanfare and hoopla; only a laughter filled lunch with Smartest Friend and Hot Babe with Zwieback popping in towards the end to join the festivities and then dinner with The Boy and The Family at their [...]
