I’ve always felt it has a little bit of an Eighties vibe about it.

PLACE: The mall
SUBJECT: Shiny, reflective floor
DQ and her cousin were supposed to go to a mixer at a high school in St. Louis Friday night with a friend of theirs. It had a “neon” theme and we made plans to go to the mall tonight to buy some neon clothing. However, the tickets were sold out. She still wanted to go mall anyway and whined asked until I gave in. *sigh* It ended up costing me dearly.

Whoever said that artificial trees don’t shed was a liar.
“I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the table would move across the floor to it.”

PLACE: Steak ‘n Shake
SUBJECT: Tile floor
We ate supper this evening at Steak ‘n Shake: DramaQueen’s choice. My mom *hearted* this place big time. Whenever we would go, she usually ordered the same thing - a double steakburger with onion and mustard, their tiny, crispy, shoestring French fries and a chocolate shake. Come to think of it, when I was pregnant with DramaQueen, I would eat here almost every Friday night, usually accompanied by my sister. Maybe that’s why DQ loves this place so much now.

It helps to have the 53 Weekly Themes list from the Digital Photography School website to get one out of a photo bind (hmmmm, this is the second time in a week I’ve been stuck…I sure hope my brain freezes aren’t permanent). This week’s theme is “Underneath.” Therefore, I present to you the view of what it looks like underneath the floor in my office/study area.

You know it’s cold in the house when the cat sits on the heat register. I might need to rethink the thermostat settings.
