Wow, I can't believe it's already 4. I spent half the day at MLT celebrating my flag football team's big win and watching th Buckeyes pull out the W against Wisconsin.
Anyway, some friends and I are doing a group blog devoted to basically what we do today. It's called For Only One Night, if you care to check it out. If you are going to a certain party tonight (and if the words "mountaintop chalet" mean anything to you, you're probably going), I'm sure you'll find tons of party pics there later.

Time to play "Guess my Halloween costume!" -- UPDATED with the answer at the bottom
No fair playing if I've already told you what it is!
UPDATE. And the answer:
A picture of the finished costume is forthcoming - I think. I hope I got one on my camera ...

Quick observation
If someone lets you into her lane in traffic, stopping dead in that lane with your blinker on to get into the next lane over is poor repayment for the favor.

Competitive
I play flag football on Saturdays and soccer on Sundays this season.
I'm competitive. Kind of - I don't really care whether the team wins or loses, but I am competitive against myself. If I don't live up to my expectations for myself, I get very upset.
In football, my expectation is that if the ball is thrown to me, and if I am open, I will catch the ball. It seems like a very simple thing, and yet I can't do it in a game. I missed three passes today, and even though I caught three, that wasn't good enough for me.
I told Eileen I felt like Ron Weasley. She said I was being more like Eeyore.
(Soccer is actually easier because my expectations are lower for myself. If I can clear the ball a couple times a game, I feel like I've met my goal - and if by some miracle I manage to take the ball away from someone on the other team, I feel like David Beckham.)
I guess the thing to do is just to keep practicing - eventually, catching the ball will become routine.

Recycling news
I always forget what exactly I can recycle, so I was happy to find this handy guide on the City's website:
How weird - you can recycle "plastic bottles and jugs," but not "plastic food containers." I had always assumed it had to do with the number on the plastic.
Also, bad news that you can't recycle plastic shopping bags. I tend to save them for reuse, but sometimes I have too many and the excess goes in the bin. Ah, well - guess I'll have to start taking them to Bigg's. I'm pretty sure they have a program for that.

But I feel like there must be a better one out there somewhere.
Also, you might notice that the little percentage bars don't actually show up in the HTML coding. Here's what I saw when I completed the quiz:
