The last high school homecoming for Claudia -
She learned a valuable lesson today.
ALWAYS double check the material of your dress before using an iron set on “Cottons”
That way you don’t melt the material on your right shoulder.
She wore the dress anyway.
Hardly noticeable.
Right?
With the guys.

The Husband and I went to a comedy show/benefit tonight.
Too bad we didn’t get to see it.
I got a migraine and we left right before the show started.
TIME: 6:33 PM
PLACE: Gymnasium
SUBJECT: Stella and her medal
Well, they lost the first round of the tournament.
They all got medals though (not really a fan of that, but what are you gonna do?)
I think she’s happy it’s over.
Now she can go to the comic book store and play “Werewolf: The Apocalypse”
TIME: 7:20 AM
PLACE: Highway 255
SUBJECT: Fog
It was a bit foggy this morning on the way to work.
And it’s hard taking a picture while driving down the road at 65mph.
I kept my eyes on the road.
Pointed.
Clicked.
Hoped I got something.
This is it – I’ll take what I can get.

Soccer yesterday, volleyball today.
It’s a learning league – and a quick one, it only runs about 4 weeks.
Stella’s team was assigned yellow shirts and decided to call themselves the “Minions”

PLACE: Highland, IL
SUBJECT: Soccer game/My boy
Yay!
My Jamesy made a goal!
See, that’s the ball in the net!
(Too bad the light was quickly fading and all of my pictures turned out crappy. Don’t look too close!)
He was happy.
His teammates were happy for him.
And we won 3-0.

PLACE: Lincoln Theatre
SUBJECT: Movie screen surround
HH and I went to see the matinee showing of “The Martian” at the Lincoln.
We bought popcorn, of which I somehow managed to jam a hull between my teeth and gum within 5 seconds of eating my first handful.
Nevertheless, I thought the movie was pretty damn good.
Love Matt Damon.
Two thumbs up!

PLACE: Downtown
SUBJECT: Trash
It’s the 1st weekend of October and that means the annual Chili Cook-Off is happening downtown in our fair city.
I didn’t go last night, the kids did. They said it was packed – or as my husband likes so say “It was all ass-holes and elbows out there”
Tonight, the aforementioned husband and I ventured out.
It wasn’t too bad this evening, though there were several booths that had sold out.
Still, there was plenty of chili to be had.
Beer too.
And it was a nice crisp evening.

PLACE: B-Street Bar
SUBJECT: My cousin and me
One of my favorite photos from my wedding day (besides the ones with my husband of course)
My cousin and best friend and me doing our “Sorority Picture!” pose.
Neither of us were ever in a sorority.
But, while I was going to school at the University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana, she came for a visit.
We went to a fraternity party and we noticed that all of the sorority girls posed like this in

Beer glass/cup/bottle prominently displayed.
Mouth wide open.
Bent at the knees.
Heads together.
Always having an a-mazing time.
So, yeah.
We always take a “Sorority Picture” when we go out now.
