baby mamma drama

do i believe in global warming? hell yes, i do. it feels pretty gross here right now & has for more than a week. warm & unusually humid for this time of year.... although i think last fall was similar. pretty sure i remember a few nasty hot days up until a week or so before Christmas. i thought winter would never come. i hope it arrives earlier this year. i hope the weather is more tolearable this weekend when jake & melissa stop in for a quick visit on their way to NYC.

dan & i just got back from a walk around the hood, even though it's pretty nasty out. as we crossedthe street from our immediate neighborhood crammed with rowhouses, into a nicer neighborhood with lots of grass & trees, we felt the cool breeze blowing past us... it felt like everyone in Guilford has their ac on & windows open. the state of the world is frightening. war, global warming, peak oil... tomorrow's supposed to be a toasty 93 degrees. yikes! dan, the lucky bastard, has the day off & is planning to spend the day at the beach. this is one of those times i feel sad to have "real" job where i can't just say, "hey, i'd like to go to the beach today" & get away with it. i actually have to go to work. not only that but my immediate supervisor & most of the other folks in charge of things are heading to a conference in New Orleans for the remainder of the week. there's almost no chance that i'm not going to get stressed out. i still don't know any answers. i have been feeling a tad bored at work lately, so this should be the ultimate test. i don't know how the hours pass, but they do. 4pm rolls around before i know it & then i have a nice long evening to look forward to!! it'll be even better once i adjust to the early mornings. i was so pooped this weekend, i could hardly stay awake.

nothing much going on really. dan & i took a walk to hampden this weekend to check out a new shop. i never know what to expect in hampden. it's half gentrified & half not. & the half that's not can be SO in your face, it's pretty uncomfortable. if this was st. louis, i'd use the term hoosier, but no one's familiar with that term around these parts. so anyway, on our walk to hampden, we passed a gaggle of police officers & baby mammas on the street corner making a ruckus. probably 4 cop cars & maybe 7 or 8 teenagers, each pushing a stroller with a baby. not something you see every day. it baffles me & makes me sad at the same time. poor babies.

had dinner with my old boss last thursday evening. it was fun & odd all at the same time. i definitely expected it to be odd but was pleasantly surprised by the fun part. dan & i brought some wine (because we like wine). neither one of them drink much at all but i fear the next day might've been uncomfortable & possibly a little humiliating... we got a new sharp kitchen knife & sharpener out of it though, which was odd. guess that's all i know.
