Make it work!
Tonight is the premiere of season 4 of Project Runway on Bravo. HOORAY!!! This is the one reality TV show I go crazy for. Though this year will be weird, because it will be the first season I haven't watched with my mom. Last year I'd go over to my parents' house every Wednesday night, have dinner, do laundry, and then watch my dad scuttle away when we'd switch to Bravo. Then Mom and I would make bitchy comments about the contestants, coo over gorgeous designs, and cackle at the bad ones. Sometimes ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
xica_s would text me during the show, and I'd read her comments to my mom. It was fun. And as a tribute to our shared love of Project Runway, I just bought my mom the Tim Gunn talking bobblehead for Christmas. I figure she'll get a kick out of it, and she'll keep it in her sewing room for inspiration.
Anyway, yes. Project Runway.
In other news, I just got a call from my former landlord, who is returning my FULL security deposit, along with a check for the interest gained on said security deposit. That's over $1100. AWESOME. I am very pleased by this turn of events.
Last night the Scientist and I went to the gym again. I didn't push as hard as I had on Sunday morning, but I did put in 2.5 miles on the elliptical, and 5 miles on the bike as a cool-down. So that's good.
What else? Tonight we're off in search of Lynfred's cranberry wine for Thanksgiving. The winery closes before we can get up there, but supposedly there's a store in the next town that sells it. We shall see...
Tomorrow after work we're having dinner with my aunt and uncle at Shaw's Crab House. Not cheap. But seeing as how I haven't seen these relatives since early last summer, I'll deal. Plus, the food should be good. This does, however, mean we won't be seeing Beowulf in 3D (for free) that night.
Saturday we're going to the Museum of Science & Industry to see the Star Wars exhibit. That's the same day Chicago is having the Lights Festival, so traffic getting into the city should be a bitch. However, we'll be leaving before the festival begins, so hopefully heading back out won't be as bad. That night we're going to a dinner/costume party. The theme is "80s cartoons." I'm going as a Snork, which means I have to fashion a snorkle out of a cardboard tube, a headband, some paint, and glue. The Scientist is going as a Smurf, which means he still needs a white hat and blue face paint. I have no idea when we'll do this.
And onSaturday SUNDAY fava_bean is having her "Urban Family Thanksgiving." A bunch of people (including mei_x, aj, and fishdoctorpost) will be coming. This means I have to make food. I wish I had the time to do a pumpkin pie, but that just isn't possible. :( Oh well. It will be fun nonetheless.
