Twice in one night! I haven't blogged this much in weeks!
So it is no secret that I have Sitemeter on here, and once upon a time I checked it regularly. Now I can't remember the password so I checking it is a process, and I just don't do it that often. I don't really care if 2 or 2million people visit me in a day, I am just intrigued by where they are from geographically, and how they go here.
So since I am using my old computer while Tim toils away on the Macbook I decided to see who has been visiting me. There were two things on there that made me laugh...

The first is that I think a boyfriend from college has found me here. Either he or his wife check up on me which is lovely. I have been curious about what he has been up to since his military stint. I am also interested to hear his take on the war is, seeing as he was convinced that he was never going to see anything like that when he enlisted several years ago. If you fit this description, and are either ex boyfriend, or wife, hi, how are you? I hope life is treating you well. Drop me an email if you want to chat. Seriously, it is not weird. The silence is weirder.

The second thing is that we had dinner with our famous friends Saturday night, and Charles checked my blog today to see if I have written about it yet. We went to this local place that is going to be on her show then came back to our house to visit. It is always weird when people come to our house after a babysitter has been here because nothing is ever where I remember putting it, and no one is there to wipe off the bathroom counter after Abby brushes her teeth before bed. While we were talking Alpana candidly spoke about how they don't go outside when it is hot out. This was refreshing to hear because all too often people are all about going and bike riding and frolicking in the park when it is pushing 97 degrees outside. Seriously, what is wrong with wanting to be airconditioned? The answer to that: nothing.
I also had to laugh the next day when they did not go to Cicero because it was too hot to drive (in the airconditioned Chach12) to an airconditioned restaurant. Which is exactly why I joined the exodus to the movie theater so that we could watch Ratatouille in the comfort of corporate A/C.
As always it was a lovely evening with them, and I enjoyed sharing photos of Charles during his teen angst years. I also loved getting the behind the scene scoop on the Food and Wine Festivals they go to. Who knew Morimoto was so popular....
