everyone's dream date is different

I need to get cooking on dinner, but i do have to tell you about thursday night before it completely slips away. It was the live taping of wait wait don't tell me at millenium park- for free! Ch and lisa! and justin and i were going to go and have a picnic on the lawn and it was going to be fabulous. however. It poured down rain ALL DAY, but i read the forcast and was prepared. and lisa! was still game! so i stomped down there with my art umbrella and my little flowered galoshes, and there were 100 people instead of 10,000 so i found us some seats and covered them with a shower curtain. and we were still wet, oh yes, oh so very wet, but it wasn't cold, and it was lots of fun, and we ate pita and hummus and drank vodka cranberry and cuddled under the umbrella. after they were done we caught the bus, and called in an order to the blue elephant, and so picked up thai on the way home. we took a hot shower together, found dry clothes, and enjoyed dinner. Lisa! wants to have a torrid affair with sarah palin, so we ended up watching her speach on youtube and yelling at the computer. it was one of those evenings that i hold up as an example, i think, this is what i want my life to look like. just like this.
