After all the anticipation, I decided not to go see Employee of the Month<\/em>, starring Dane Cook, today. I just lost the enthusiasm after watching a half hour special on it . I could be way off base, but it doesn’t look all that funny. Also, Jessica Simpson can’t act. She is another Neve Campbell: she plays the same character in all her roles. I just wasn’t in the mood for it. I’m not saying I won’t end up seeing it at some point, but I’m in no hurry.<\/p>\n

Besides, it was way too nice outside to spend it inside a theatre, so we went to St. Charles’ Scarecrow Festival<\/a>. It was fantastic, other than the parking situation, although we did luck out with a space nearby when we saw someone pulling out. Overall the fest was so much better than the Schaumburg one last month. The craft booths alone were great; I got a lot of cool bracelet ideas since half the booths were selling homemade jewelry.<\/p>\n

After browsing the crafts, we sat by Fox River and munched on cheese fries for me, and a corn dog and fries for Joe, soaking up the sun and just enjoying the day. This fest is definitely one that we’ll be returning to in the future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
