It is still 80 degrees outside

I had an awesome night last night! First, the chicken fingers, which are always brilliant:-) Big crew...Papa Bear and his lady friend came, as did Big Sis and the Brain Surgeon. They didn't actually eat the chicken fingers (they were all having dinner someplace fancy afterwards...food snobs!!!) but they had a drink and visited. Smoking Hot Roommate has no such food pretensions, so she and the Rocket Scientist ate with us, as did he roommate. A couple other friends visited for a snack on their way home from work, too. Seems like a lot, but we were done by like 7:00.

Munchkin had to finish her school project, but fortunately she had most of it done (because her big sister insisted she get it done ahead of time:-)). Even more fortunately for me, SHR was kind enough to take her home and help her finish it off, and give me the chance to take off to The Boy's place for a bit. His sister and her wife were over visiting, so I got to hang with them for a bit. After they left we hung out for a bit (am I really getting so old that I gloss over the evening with "we hung out"? Yikes...I am getting boring...) and then he walked me home at about 11:00.

That was just in time for Munchkin to wake up from a quick nap to watch the Cubs game:-) I stayed awake for this one, and once again, Munchkin was none to happy that they lost. She seemed less mad about this one than Wednesday's, and more resigned than angry. Me thinks things look not so good for the Cubs now (if they lose one more game they lose the series).

Red Sox tonight and I promised her that we could go out to watch. The game starts at 8:37, so I doubt we will make it all the way until the end, but you never know. She has soccer in the morning, so I have to make sure she gets to bed at a reasonable hour. After soccer we are going apple and pumpkin picking, which is totally one of my favorite things. Then I am gonna make apple pie:-)

The weather is supposed to be gorgeous all weekend, so we are going golfing on Sunday morning one last time before the season ends! I only played three times this summer and I hope to play more next...I want to not suck quite so much so I can play more. After that it is regular Sunday football watching:-D Should be a fun weekend!

Next weekend is going to be a long one. The Boy and I are going to a wedding for two really good friends of his, one of which is a long-term ex girlfriend, in New Hampshire (yes, he will be in a tuxedo...grrr). We were originally going to drive up Friday afternoon for the rehearsal and come back Sunday morning after the wedding.

However, in light of the semi-recent events, and the fact that The Boy and I almost never go away together, I think it would be fun to expand that. So I convinced him to take the following Monday off, and all of Friday to make a longer weekend of it. So now we are leaving Friday morning and staying until Monday night...a badly needed mini-vacation:-) Smoking Hot Roommate and the Rocket Scientist are gonna be away as well, but Big Sis is without the Brain Surgeon all weekend, so she and Munchkin are gonna get some quality time together:-)

And I have to get to Chicago at some point soon, too...I will work on that next week. Anyway, that is all...hope everyone has a great weekend:-)
