It's Monday again. I had some dental work done last week and I've had to lay off coffee and anything hot. And anything crunchy or that can't be eaten with a fork or spoon or required a straw...basically all the foods I'm now craving. So I'm sitting here feeling deprived. I feel like I could be Sesame Street's newest cast member...Coffee Monster. 
It's also Homecoming Season around here...so today's question is inspired by that!
Did your school have homecoming dances? Did you attend? Were they formal?
My high school had semi formal homecoming dances; my college did not have anything. I went to the dance 3 of my 4 years in high school. I didn't mind dressing up back then. I never had a date but it didn't matter. Lots of my classmates just went as a group and we had a blast. Sometimes we would go out to dinner before. Sometimes someone would host an after party. My friends and I were very well behaved so these were pretty tame parties.
My senior year one of my best friends had a steady boyfriend that was just the sweetest. (My Mom always loved him.
) My other best friend and I didn't have dates but we all went in a group so it didn't really matter. His twin was a waiter at a local restaurant so we got hooked up with a reservation for something like 20! But we sat in smaller groups in the room. So it was 3 girls and my friend's boyfriend at our table. After we finished eating my friends and I went to the restroom to fix our makeup before the dance. When we came back my friend's boyfriend was standing waiting for us; ready to head back to his car. We hadn't paid yet so we were kind of confused. He said it was taken care of. When we got back in the car he told us it was our senior homecoming; we shouldn't be paying for our own meals. 
That is still one of the sweetest things someone has EVER done for me. It means more thinking about how expensive that had to be for a 17 year old guy! 
I don't think I'll ever forget that.
