the weekend, chaotic

no, not that kinda chaos - my daughter silly - what were u thinking?

From kb's
Bakers Dozen c/o ej.

1. anti-studied:: in anticipation of my remaining final, I watched reruns of Law & Order, and reality shows. I even squeezed in an episode of Drawn Together, which is almost illegal to watch - it's so hilariously un-PC. No cracking of books, no reviewing of notes. If I got an F, I surely earned it...


2. ...took the final - wasn't bad...but again...I barely care. I did figure out why I'm apathetic though. My grad school is forcing incoming students to take some basic business courses, to ensure that we're all on the same page. The problem for me is that I did my undergrad at the SAME SCHOOL - so this is just a boring review for me (did this in undergrad) - that's involving WAY too much work. I mean, we did a group project, 45 page business analysis - got an A+, but I mean dayum - this course isn't even a full credit course. Too much work, for too little return. We're business school students - that's gotta be the first rule of business, to look out for the ROI...


3. the chaos begins:: she called me during the finals, with free tickets to see Topdog, Underdog starring Kes Khemnu & Joe Wilson Jr. It was a powerful perfomance, and the critics called it 'horrific' - but it refers more to the disturbing nature of the play, than the performance. It was tight.


4. Resisted the urge to jump all ova Kes Khemnu as he was leaving the theater. I love big teddy bear guys, and he's a big teddy bear hottie - even in sweats. I think I'll make him my new favorite hottie...dayum...izzat a ring I see glinting on his left hand? dayum.


5. Dinner at City Garden with the Chaos, Shani and me - I love the way progressive sistas think, and my child, as well as her friends, are progressive. Very interesting convo about homebuying in Atlanta, community building & gentrification. It takes a village y'all...


6. the chaos continues with Ocean's Four?:: we then meet Diva at the theater to catch Ocean's Twelve. It was cool - but no, I ain't giving out any spoilers.


7. I run into one of Hammy's teachers on the way out, and we have a disturbing convo about his after-school program. The thing is: the daycare/afterschool care thing is a hustle just like any other hustle around, and some folks (school admins perhaps?) use this to their advantage. I may have to find Hammy another program.


8. ...finally pass out around 12ish...just to get up early, make breakfast &...


9. meet Chaos for househunting:: see, my baby knows me better than the realtor, my colleagues, and my friends. I show her the houses I'm considering, and she gives me the exact type of feedback I normally give out. She kicks a$$. I run the Chaos to death, until she has a headache. By now, I've got it narrowed down to 3 subdivisions.


10. the chaos ends with...:: us (the Chaos, Hammy & I) having dinner , courtesy of the Chaos. Wow - it's been a year since we did family time just us 3. It felt good. Dayum good.


11. get home late and find a note from the Evil Apartment Manager, dated 12/10 that we're being fumigated 12/13, and that all kitchen & bathroom cabinets need to be emptied, barring a fine. Great. I spend the next hour emptying & cleaning - I can't WAIT to buy my house...ugh.


12. the pre-Holiday Office Party#2 prep:: I haven't mentioned Party#1 yet, have I? Hm..another post. Meanwhile, I'm making enough of the deadly mac & cheese to feed 30 people. Taking Hammy with me to this one, this should be interesting...

I'se exhausted - and Holiday Office Party#2 is this evening at the boss's crib, followed by Holiday Office Party#3 tomorrow afternoon. Lucy, you got some catchin' up to do...

On another note - I LOVE Chaos. Love her. She's hyper-intelligent, compassionate, beautiful, engaging, analytical, charming, empathetic, strongly convicted, an excellent judge of character - she's just the shiznit. Hm, I wonder where she gets it from....
