Love will keep us warm, and the weather will keep us warmer

It's too hot outside. Here in Milwaukee the temperature is hovering around 98 degrees and the humidity makes it hard to breathe. It's so hot that all I want for dinner is Tic-Tacs and ice. Damn!

This weekend Mike and I went to Antigo, a city about four hours north of here, for a wedding. It was a lot of fun, and it was the first time I've seen Suzy and her now-husband Mark since I graduated. Mike and I didn't know anyone at the wedding except for Suzy, which made her feel bad, I think. She tried to introduce us to some people we were sitting with at dinner, but we mostly kept to ourselves.

It's kind of funny, but we had been looking forward to this wedding mostly because we wouldn't know anybody there. Taking a date to a wedding where you know nobody is fun. Well, it is if you're an introvert, anyway. Mike and I spent the whole evening enjoying the dinner, dancing during the slow numbers, talking, joking, and laughing. It was similar to when we'd go someplace on a date. Just because you don't know anyone else there doesn't mean you don't enjoy yourself.

Plus, if you get extremely drunk, there's a minimum of people there who can remind you of it later. Not that Mike or I got drunk. It's just nice to know that the option is there.

Bleh. It's too hot to type. I'm gonna go find some Tic-Tacs.
