still charmed

it hasn't warn off, yet! the gas guy DID come today. it's a yucky sort of stove that has the pilots on all the time- you can't set anything on it. my meeting went ok today. patti was very clear about what they need when, so that was good to know, though hard to hear. the wedding nazi and co. were still in IN, so i decided to do a little shopping. at north and clyborn decided to go to the container store instead of just the hardware store. and while i was there, i thought i should go to CB2, and then i had to go to the crate and barrel outlet, and if i was there, i should go next door to trader joes... it's a dangerous part of town, lemme tell you. but i got my stuff back home and met them at their hotel, then off to dinner and millenium park, buckingham fountain. they just want a chicago experience, they don't seem to have any opinions or preferances. i don't know where to eat dinner on the gold coast! glad i work tomorrow while they're in hyde park. REALLY glad they're not staying here. anyway, still, as usual, past my bedtime.
