two surprises, neither of which i deserve. carefully planned and executed, we celebrated a bit early since he had the day off from lax and i have two exams to study for tomorrow night.
steve and i dined at kabob and curry - chosen especially for its vegetarian options! - a delicate table for two beside the big bay window overlooking thayer. the walls were painted rust orange with deep red trim. beautiful indian art was draped beside the heavy oak doorways, and assorted authentic decorations (of marble elephants and sandy zen gardens) peacefully harmonized the atmosphere, blending all background conversation into a barely noticeable steady hum. we shared tangy and spicy dishes, and i was a member of the clean-plate-club for the first time in awhile.
i feel so undeservedly lucky. but i'll take it with a smile. we could have gone to dunkin' donuts or some place equally un-special and i would still be sitting here tonight positively raving about how wonderful my evening was.
