(no subject)
i am alive and well. new and exciting?
-i had a beer and IT DIDN'T TASTE LIKE SHIT. or vomit. sorry susannah, you've lost my (admittedly nominal) support on that one. but beer still tastes way strange with foodstuffs.
-i'm homesick for central new york in the worst way. if that makes me a hick, so be it. at least i'm an intelligent, witty, hard-working, sexy hick.
-i keep feeling judgmental about other people. sometimes, i can't help it. for example, heidi isn't dumb (trust me on this one, please), but she lacks powers of observation and common sense. observe:
me: ok, liz says she doesn't want stems on the tomatoes we harvest, so she said we should do it like *this*
heidi: oh, ok. will another tomato grow on that stem?
me (to heidi): nope, no it won't.
me (in my head): ......WTF???!!!
also, we picked up two (really awesome) apprentices (who originally hail from binghamton, ny) from a farm in
hillsdale, ny en route to another farm tour.
heidi: that could be their car... they're from new york, right?
me: we're IN new york...
(for the record, it was their car, which they informed us of... but on the way out i noticed that the frame around the license plate said "Binghamton"... and that would have been the tell-tale clue, had heidi noticed it in the first place (i couldn't see it from my seat on the way in))
i am entirely confused by this. at times, it can be a great struggle for me to react as if i'm having a normal conversation with her, and that she's not saying things that are exceedingly, well, uh... stupid. i seriously do not understand how anybody can be so unobservant as to make little mistakes like this routinely. yes, i make those sorts of mistakes too, but not every day, several times per day... *sigh* like i said, judgmental. at least i'm not making it known to heidi and others on the farm.
-since it is now public knowledge: liz is pregnant with her and al's second child. colin will be 3 in september; the new baby is due in december. it's strange to me that heidi and i will be at the farm through nearly the entire gestation, but we'll leave a month before the baby is due. guess we'll have to come back to visit.
