That's right folks, its been over 90 for it seems like forever (although I'm sure it couldn't have been for more than 4 or 5 days. Right now, according to the trusty weather channel web page it is 77 degrees at 8 o'clock in the evening and low humidity (sorry Pittsburghers). And its also supposed to rain 'sometime' today. That would be great considering my yard is on the verge of doing a 'cough, cough, wheez' and just giving up. They are saying, and by 'they' meaning the news media, that it could be the driest year Denver has ever had. I used to think that would be awesome to not worry about rain, but there are downsides to that as well. So make sure to remind me of that when I used to bitch about it raining in Pittsburgh all the time.
I'm back to work tomorrow after having my usual three days off. Sorry, I don't mean to brag but its awesome. It will be nice to get back to a full four day work week. (Sorry, I'll stop that right now.) Last week I had the now infamous shotgun class that took up 2 days right in the middle of my work week, which is Thursday-Monday. So a nice normal week without any severe bruising to parts of my body will be nice.
So during my weekend I went to the dentist. Sounds like not much fun but I like the dentist. I think its because before we moved out here and had good dental insurance I hadn't been to a dentist in YEARS. It sounds nasty but I feel like I've always taken pretty good care of my teeth. Blame it on having braces twice. Plus its amazing what has changed in the field of dentistry these days. Gone are the days of endless scraping. Now they have these things that use sonic vibrations or something like that. So sue me, I like the dentist. I get nice clean teeth and don't endure any pain.
On Wednesday Melissa and I went to her school room to get it arranged. She wanted to get it done so that she doesn't have to worry about letting her substitute do it while she is off with the baby. So we went out and did that in the morning and hung out with some friends in the evening.
After those two days, my THIRD day off (sorry) we just hung out around the house. Melissa took it easy and I caught up on my netflix movies. First was Hot Fuzz. After seeing Simon Pegg in Shaun of the Dead and thoroughly enjoying it I figured I would watch this. I must say, mindless humor is good every once in a while. I also watched Vantage Point which I really enjoyed. It was one that had you on the edge of your seat in a completely different way than most movies.
Other than that I seemed to have taken an interest in John Mayer's music. I never really paid any attention to him before. But I listened to some songs off of his new live CD and I must say I am now a fan. He does a really awesome acoustic version of Tom Petty's 'Free Fallin'. It goes on the playlist for sitting on you back porch chillin' out. Chillin' out, drinking a beer and typing your blog.
