is it monday morning already? sheesh, how the weekend flies by...it's funny how the perception of time is relative to how much fun you're having...well, it's the early train for me today...

let's see...ah yes...the weekend...don't remember too much...oh yeah...pete's bday party...that was lots of fun...pete loved the pedro the lion tshirt i got him...it had a picture of the skull he wants to get a tattoo of on it which was why i had bought it in the first place...i gave my guacamole recipe out several times...

saturday night we went to the premiere of the star wars-esque little film connolly was in this past year...it was called 'resistance' and it made me want one of them light saber thingies...and a cape...

after the screening, teddy & i stopped in a little park in the neighborhood and climbed the slide/fort/bar thingie and enjoyed the cool evening breeze and daydreamed together...it was lovely...we were both tipsy (he'd had 3 fat weasels & i'd had 1.5 woodchuck ales plus we'd each had an export a) and i was actually nauseous which was how we'd ended up lying on our backs in this park instead of joining connolly & his girlfriend @ the heartland cafe...despite the nausea, it was a beautiful night for me listening to teddy dream out loud...

sunday was the wicker park grace outing to the baha'i temple in wilmette...nanette, teddy & i went up there and met up w/ leslie & claire...i've been in the temple only a couple times before and really didn't know too much about the baha'is...we saw a video, got a tour, and had a chance to ask some questions...quite frankly, i have a hard time figuring out how one can logically tie all the major world religions together as being compatible with each other...it just didn't make sense to me...and the whole time, i kept wondering to myself, 'who changes that light bulb at the top that lights up the arabic words carved in the dome?' teddy's answer? 'your mom...' that's his answer for all my questions...

...sunday night was a disaster for getting stuff done as plans got changed then switched then changed again...somehow we did manage to go bowling with the twins (grey jay & orange lauren) and their cohorts rouge douge, camoflage jefflage (back from sweden), timm & mike...teddy's been wanting to bowl for ages...it was fun...i had a kickass first game...bowled a 132 which is probably my alltime high...and i knew the next game was doomed...i didn't even check what my score was for the second game...

the place where we bowled was called lincoln square bowling alley, and it's on top of the ace hardware store on lincoln & ainslie...there were only 2 other people bowling when we got there...there was this huge round old fashioned bar...and a few pinball machines...and a jukebox with some really bad albums in it but some good oldies as well...i got a strike to cheap trick's 'i want you to want me'...i love programming the jukebox...although it would've been cheaper to bring our own cd player...

this week i get to take thursday off because of my new schedule...i can't wait...that kinda means that today is like a wednesday for me, not a monday...that's so awesome...
