thursday night

Just as David and i left the work parking lot to go get Charlotte (yes, i decided to pick her up early), a skerry of black clouds blew through bringing a blustery wind that filmmakers would have killed for. I absolutely loved it and was admiring the setting as i walked through the parking lot, getting to the truck just as the hail started. Apparently the weather caused severe accidents on interstate 81, and this morning everyone has tales of what they did while stuck in traffic.

I love having Charlotte back; it was fun to drive her again. David and i had planned to make dinner at home, but as conversation turned to more emotional matters, he was brilliant and suggested going out. We sat at Szcheuan and talked, enjoyed the dinner, and afterward i read to him a bit from my journal. One of the things that is interesting about our relationship is that he and i don't do The Debate Thing. We don't talk about current events or the weather oranything else that really doesn't have anything to do with us. We interact, and it's so wonderful that we have a whole host of movies and shows that we haven't been able to get through because we keep hitting the pause button and end up talking for hours.

At one point David said something about not looking forward to when we got to the point that we were actually competing over something. I laughed and agreed, and then we both looked at each other. I doubt it will ever happen, even though it usually does with most couples: we revel in each other's successes and stregnth too much. How cool is that?
