Yesterday I woke up hungover from a night of drinking with Ryan the night before. I'm still in like. :) We were supposed to go to a concert at Millennium Park- Mendelssohn, Haydn, and Schumann were on the program. I told him this several times. We got there a little late, and as we were approaching the band shell he was like, "I think you're lying about the concert. I don't hear any music." I said that maybe they were at a quiet part, and he looked at me like I was crazy. When we got to the band shell, it was completely packed, so there was nowhere for us to sit. But Ryan was like, "What is this??? It's not even a concert; they're just playing classical music through the speakers." I pointed out the orchestra down in the orchestra pit (which was hard to see), and he was like "Orchestra? What? I thought we were going to a real concert, like with a band!" Apparently this boy has never even heard of Mendelssohn. This cracked me up, because he is very educated, has been all over the world, has a great job, and just tends to know a lot about everything. So I was trying not to laugh too hard, and he was accusing me of tricking him. We ended up just walking around and seeing the Bean and the fountains and all that. He really liked it. Then we had some drinks at Skylark and hung out at his place for a while.

So I woke up yesterday with a bit of a hangover. I realized I had no plans for the rest of the day, so I called Nancy. I went over to her house (she lives with her parents in Frankfort) and we laid out and worked on our tans and ran through the sprinkler like we were kids again. When I left, I stopped by Oberweiss for ice cream to make it the perfect summer day.

Nina called when I got home, and we had a lovely dinner at Panera. We grabbed some sangria on the way home and hung out at my place, watching Big Love on my dvr. Sangria is like, our thing, and we actually had a lot of fun. I haven't giggled with her in a long time.

Anyway, yesterday was the perfect summer day. Now I'm waiting for the letter from my school district (which should come today) telling me what I'll be teaching next year. As soon as that letter comes, everything will change. School starts in less than two weeks, so I'll have tons of stuff to do. I'm glad I got to have a fabulous day like yesterday before the craziness starts.
