Wow!! Homecoming week can be a blast, but when it comes to Thursday night, It's downright exhausting!! We've been plotting for Saturday for about a month now...much discussion on the decorations (snowflakes? music? candlelight? disco balls?) and the theme. We finally settled on a 50's Hollywood theme...very cool stuff going into it. Who ever heard of decorating with film pulled out of the canister?? I'm excited! Yours truely got put in charge of the banister and balcony decorations...which means I got to cut out about a million and a half stars in ever shape and size I could come up with. I also got to cover them with glitter, either in silver or red. They look fun, but wow, I never want to cut out another star again! The gang heads to the Decatur Club to set up right after school tomorrow...and who know's when we'll emerge, but hopefully sometime before midnight. :)

Spirit week has been fun...Mix and match Monday was school wide geek day...got to love sandals with toe socks and crazy hairdoos! Twin "Twosday" brought people to school as identicals, which was hilarious. Jackie dressed up as Joel (you got to know he was thrilled...) and LC and Cos came as Raggedy Anne and Andy. So cute! Turn back time Thursday was today....basically a mishmash of fashion nightmares...and a lot of laughs! It's nice to be able to have some fun with people we see every day but don't always connect with. Too bad the teachers haven't cut back on the homework...

Amidst the fun there is the expected drama...had an interesting chat yesterday with a friend and we talked about the "hype" of it all. It's sad that this week has to be the one where the boiling point in relationships is reached and sometimes emotions spill over. Somehow all that doesn't quite seem worth it. So, I guess I'm going to give it my best shot to have fun and lower the drama quotient. Wish me luck...
