The Hurricane is Here!

Sure, you might not hear this everyday in Illinois, but Ike has made its way in and is sticking around for the day. We have had a ton of rain today and the temp has finally fallen to lovely chilly temps. I have started to deocrate for fall and am just loving it!

This weekend has been entertaining to say the least. Friday we had Josh and Audra over for tacos and we watched "There will Be Blood." I got what the movie wanted us to get, but it just wasn't great. Daniel Day Lewis was fabulous, but it just didn't do it for us. Saturday we woke up to no rain. This was a relief as we have season tickets to Illini Football and there was supposed to be an 80% chance of rain. We went to the game and saw the Illini just barely sneak away with a win. The neat part was we sat in the New side of the stadium with the sky boxes and it looks great. The entertaining part was two vinyl pannels from the stadium's roof flew off at us and blew water onto the fans. It was a bit disconcerning and showed the stadium still needs some work.

After the game we went to the local motorcycle shop. We are going to be the proud new owner's of a new motorcycle. Tyler got his license yesterday morning and is amped about his new bike. I have to work on calling it a motorcycle as to not confuse Tyler (I just got a new bicycle a few weeks ago) so we have been quite busy. The new hog should be picked out sometime this week I would imagine and in his hands sometime soon. My one requirement was for it to have a backrest so I didn't fly off the back end. He agreed :)

Last night we chilled with Josh and Audra and had Cajun Bayou Chicken Pasta which featured habanero peppers. Apparently Josh forgot to wash his hands after cutting the hot hot pepper and when we used the restroom a certain part of his anatomy became quite agitated. It caused quite the laughs. :) Sorry, Josh! We dressed Lily the Yorkie up in zebra-print ribbons and pink scarf and just had a nice, relaxing night.

This week we have my Mom and Sister coming up for a traffic court date and they are going to stay a night or two, which will be nice. Looking forward to cooler weather, great softball and relaxation.
