so long, june

i'm so thankful for all of d's hard work painting on the aluminum roof coat. it's doing an amazing job. stupid j-holes who didn't insulate! our place is SO much more comfortable. it's really impressive. wish we'd thought of it 2 years ago.

went to dinner last night with a couple we haven't spent time w/ in a long time. it was nice. they told this bizarro story: she was leaving their second floor apartment & on the way down the stairs, she saw a guy bending over & thought that was odd. she went back upstairs, got her husband & sent him down. when he went to check it out, he saw a leg stick up in the air next to the bent over guy's back & realized there was a couple having sex in the foyer of their building! that's so insanely rediculous, i can't believe it. i laughed pretty hard about that one.

i recently realized i hadn't been laughing enough because i'm always so obsessed & anxious about work crap - so i thought i could get my fix with AFV. for those of you who are unfamiliar or haven't read my blog before, i truly enjoy America's Funniest Videos. damn, it's funny - usually. unfortunately we ended up with 1 episode where kathy griffin & a bunch of other lame "stars" were voting on the best video & 1 episode from back in the day of bob saget. the first was bad. but the bob saget stuff was absolutely abysmal. i can't believe that was on tv. i just want to make it clear that bob saget & kathy griffin blow.

d & i are heading to stl in just a few days... exciting. nerve-wracking. i made an appointment to get my hairs cut w/ my good 'ol standby. i figure i'm so close to the really really short haircut, i might as well suck it up & do it before it grows out. i'm just starting to like this haircut - it only took 4-6 weeks for me to stop feeling like a jackass. wonder what'll happen this time around??

nothing else exciting going on really. what could be more exciting than bad haircuts, shitty episodes of AFV & people having sex in someone else's foyer? at the gym last saturday, this old couple were all excited because chris noth had been at the gym. that would be mr. big, from sex & the city for all you lames who don't know famous people. (just kidding - famous people are the epitome of lameness.)

on the gardening front, harlequin bugs are making a disaster of my kale. i've tried squishing them, which is gross & messy, & diatomatious earth to no avail. the potatoes are being eaten by bloated-looking rouge-colored bugs. i tried squishing them but it was too nasty - the guts squished everywhere. hm... i met our plot neighbor's sister & she's able to water while we're out of town & that's great cuz it was a big stress. things seem to be doing pretty well & i don't want them to fry while we're out of town.

guess that's about it for now. gotta eat some dinner & take my plants over to m's for the week. hm. thank god some people are nice.
