I decided to stay at my parent's house last night. My mom wanted me to watch Desperate Housewives with her, which meant I'd have to stay for Gray's Anatomy, and I realized that if I went all the way back to my apartment after that, I'd have half-a-closet's worth of laundry to put away... I just wasn't up to it. My parents went to bed at around 10:30, once I had stopped harassing them, and I slipped into some old, beloved, PJs (pajamas so old and hideous I've never taken them from my mom and dad's house) and retired downstairs for some nice couch & TV time. I found an interesting documentary which captured my attention, but I kept constantly looking out the window at how bright it was. At the next commercial break, I forced myself to go outside for a little stroll. 
The moon was absolutely beautiful. Even though I know I've seen (and stayed up for) MANY nights like last night, I was still amazed by how light it was out. I could see every house and yard in the neighborhood! I hung out for a minute to take in the scene; maybe it was just a memory-scent but I thought I could smell bonfire on the breeze and it reminded me again how bad I want to have/go to a bonfire. It's been years.
So, the point of this whole thing is -- I know I'm a city girl now, but I don't want to be deprived of some of my favorite activities which make Wisconsin bearable. Thus, if you or anyone you know is going to have a bonfire, please let me know. (That also goes for anyone who has a porch or a deck they want to sit on. I'll even bring my own blanket, hot cocoa, and peppermint schnapps!)
