The winter blahs

I've been saying since November that I'm done with winter. I totally admit being a baby about the cold. Yesterday I was walking home from the T and it was snowing. It wasn't just snowing there was also extreme wind blowing that snow directly into my face.

Today I just want to curl up in bed with some tea and a good book. Knowing that my office is always arctic in temperature is not motivating.

A little vino for V Day

Melissa and I are both single and decided to make the most of Valentines Day. Melissa had the idea of volunteering to feed the homeless. At first I wasn't in the mood which is horrible to say but I had so much to do this past weekend I just didn't have the time. I decided that I was being ridiculous and needed to do it.

It was in the basement of a church that had a questionable smell. It reminded me of CCD. We had no idea what we were suppose to do but everyone was really nice and helpful. Most of the homeless people were very nice and thankful but of course there were a few interesting comments. There was one man who told a pregnant woman she was having a bastard because she wasn't married and another man that got mad at me because I wouldn't give him more peas. I told him we had to wait fifteen minutes before we could give out seconds and I thought he was going to throw his plate at me.

We met some pretty cool volunteers that we hung out with at Whole Foods. Really, nothing was open on Valentines Day.

After our volunteering time we headed out to our Valentines Day "ball" in the city. I am officially done wearing dresses in the winter. I'm only going out dressed like the little brother in A Christmas Story.

Melissa and I decided it was a wine night. I lost my debit card on wine night. Actually Darryl lost my card because he decided to use it for Chinese food when I didn't even want Chinese food. Despite that we had a good time. It's nice to dress up once in a while but I think I'll wait for the spring to bust out a dress again.

Also a guy at the church asked me for my phone number, and yes it was a volunteer not a homeless person.

Practicing my moves

I slept eleven hours last night. It was glorious. I was unexpectedly busy at work this week. Clients were coming out of the word work. "Hello, your firm divorced me in 1983 and I need this document." It was like that all week.

But now it's Saturday and I don't have to bust out the shovel. Tonight is my early birthday celebration. I rented a room at a karaoke place in Allston called Do Re Mi. It's so ghetto and awesome. It's the best place for karaoke in Boston. I have a few songs that I plan on singing. Here's the short list:

  • Gangster's Paradise - Coolio
  • Superman's Dead - Our Lady Peace
  • The Right Stuff - New Kids on the Block
  • Teenage Dirtbag - Wheetus
  • Just Dance - Lady Ga Ga
I love being surprised by what my friends pick.

It's going to be a toasty 6 degrees tonight. I'm starting to question global warming because I'm starting to feel like I live in Fargo.
