I’ll be honest; hardly a day goes by that I don’t spontaneously end up with a Black-Eyed Peas song stuck in my head; it began way back in the day with “Hey Mama,” and continues on and on. I don’t really mind, though…while I don’t listen to much pop music these days, BEP is the rare exception. I love them. Totally.

One observation from the day; I wouldn’t go into some random person’s house whom I’ve just met and inform them that it smells like cat pee. I may think it. Heck, I may even tell my friends in private that the house smelled of cat pee. But it’s just plain rude to lay it out there when I’ve just met cat-pee-lady. It makes me look like a jerk and makes her feel inadequate and insecure, and probably makes her feel like I’m a jerk too. The above is a random example to illustrate the following point: if you are not smart enough to operate the brain-filter that keeps you from saying rude things, then you should probably just shut up at all times to be safe. 🙂

Today was a great car-nap day; it was cool and breezy, and I got a whole hour without sweating to death. It’s a really nice break during the work day…I found that I was spending too much time at the computer by eating lunch at my desk…makes for eye strain and frustration, really. So, whenever it’s a good day now, I chill in my car; whether it’s doing schoolwork or writing, or napping, it’s just a good time to be in the quiet and decompress for a bit.

Duane sent some butternut squashes to me. I can’t wait to make b-nut fries!!
