i think i finally figured it out–the whole never posting thing– i’m bored with it. no no it’s not you, it’s me really. but i’m realizing that i don’t really do much, and as it were, not really living the blogworthy life.

i suppose i could just cut and paste the same entry, maybe change a word or 2–but bah, what’s the point. oh i dunno i’ll stop being pissy.

right so weekend recap, i don’t really know what happened when but i’ll just roll it all together. um right so i’ve really gotten in to the speed landscaping thing this summer…you see with the capt and all, i really only have he nap time to get all my crap done. well “only” isn’t very accurate. i dunno i try to watch the boy a bit so natty can get a break, but you know, i’m big on teh grand landscape plans so i tend to bite off more than i can chew and that takes time, blah blah blah. well anyway, i think except for the big ass pile of dirt in the yard, i’m pretty much done with new shit for the season and will be in ‘upkeep’ mode. which will be difficult, i think, mainly because it went from the coolest june on record to the goddamned hottest june on record in like 2 days. it’s been crazy july hot lately and it’s be crazy pissing me off.

i know that i live in the mid atlantic, or as i like to think of it, the deep south ( i realize i can only say that b/c i’ve never actually lived in the deep south (thank fucking god)). so i’m gonna get some hot weather. and for teh most part, i really try not to bitch too much. but when it hits this early i feel i’m justified in some bitching. so from hence forth, I will have a heat bitching cutoff of july 1, so it’s fair game for me to bitch until then, and after that, i will do my best not to bitch. sound impossible? well you’re probably right. but i’ll give it a shot.

as i sit here the AC is cranking, and while i love it, every minute that goes by i’m reminded of how the local power company is caught up in quite a scandal b/c they want to raise the electricity rates by 72% next month. shocking, huh? well thing is, apparently this was written in to some law that kept the rates capped for like 10 years. and suddenly the whole state is up in arms b/c the company is trying to fuck the little guy, i mean, it’s not like the little guy just got 9 years of unmarketly low power–no no, it’s the big company coming to screw everyone by charging market rates. evil corporations. well anyway it’s all the rage to get all enraged about the situation. it’ll never go up that much, there’s already a deal in the works to raise shit 15% and then charge a 2 buck surcharge for the next 10 years or someshit. blah. at anyrate it’s gonna be a fun summer.

as many of you know, yesterday was father’s day. and it was, offically, my first real father’s day. the capt cheaped out on a present and instead decided to crawl. oh don’t get me wrong, it was exciting and all, but i know the kid has money, how about a tie or something, maybe some armorall– no i’m kidding (natty) it was pretty crazy, he’s been trying for a while now…and can roll around/sit up/stretch to get places, but yesterday really was his first crawling, granted it was only about 3, steps or whatever. but he definetly did it. next stop–baby proofing. are you as excited as i am?

let see, what else..

oh so it appears my dog is a full on genius–he really loves to try and catch bees. the happy side effect of this is that he is also trashing my fucking plants. i’m pretty sure he’s been stung, but apparently it’s not enough of a negative factor to stop him from continuing. henry– i had such faith.

I think I mentioned it once before–the capt’s been in swimming lessons for a while now, and last tuesday was his last day. so i went to the class. it was pretty neat, i mean, he’s totally different in the water than when he started 2, 3, or how many months ago that was when he started. while he’s not swiming per se, he was splashing around and having fun and shit. it was amusing. after the class i had a very awkard ‘dad’ converstation with another father that was there taking as many stupid pictures as i was. “yeah so, solids…right?” “uh yeah, hates carrots” “um, yeah, carrots”. this is my life now.
