a night alone

it can really do wonders for a realtionship. sam and i watched the kids be driven away by the grandparents and we just didn't know what to do with ourselves. we decided the best thing would be to lay down with the fan blowing on us and just do nothing.
but i can't do nothing for long. so i started planning our night. i called for advice and made a few calls to find a vegetarian-friendly yet romantic italian place.
yay. italian food=romance. always. we had a good heart to heart over dinner and walked away stuffed.
then we came home and surfed the internet and watched tv til our hearts content. just to do it. just to jack around and not pay attention to anyone else.
about 10 we went out and got a pint of ben and jerry's to share.
that's what i call a perfect evening.
i went to bed at midnight and slept the whole night through and woke up on my own.
i feel rested.

i was so inspired by my relative solitude that i wrote a book review when i woke up and submitted it. cross your fingers.
we drove to tucson and got the kids and then met our friends at the greatest indian food place in the world, sher e punjab at first and grant in tucson.
then i went to bentley's to meet a hipmama. she was cool. with hair the color that i am trying to attain. i wanted to try the legendary vegan cheesecake omy recommended but i was stuffed again from indian food. (i'm going to gain weight this weekend). then it was back to the usual mayhem for the ride home.
ah, children.
