Whirlwind Weekend

What a busy weekend! Friday night started off a little slow. Chuck decided to go have dinner with his work buddies after being gone the previous day in Chicago, leaving me home alone 2 nights in a row (I was a little upset at him over that). So I watched the Illini play basketball (go Illini!) and discovered my curse on Illini basketball had been lifted-the only 2 games I watched all the way through last year were the only 2 the Illini lost all year. After the game was over and Chuck got home we went over to Dave's house to wait for company to arrive (people were coming for the last football game). Dave made chili while we waited. We didn't stay out too late, though.
Saturday was a football day. We tailgated, Curtis made his excellent breakfast sandwiches, the Illini lost (as usual), then it was time for chili. See, the last game of the year is usually the chili cookoff, which really isn't so much a contest as a...well...let's see how much chili we can eat. Five people made chili this time, and they were all good. Afterwards, we went back over to Dave's house and hung out again. Almost everyone (except us people that live in Champaign and Tony) left to drive back home. So the rest of us (me being the only girl) sat around, played board games and drank. When Chuck and I got home, the dogs were rather upset at us being gone all day.
Sunday the six of us went out to brunch at LePeep (which was also good). Then later that day after the Illini basketball team won again and Tony left, the rest of us went to see Harry Potter. More on that to come....
