The Fighter

Last night I went to go see The Fighter with David, Max, Chris, Colleen, and Suzana.  It was an awesome movie (as Emily said, it would have been a good movie even without words due to the fact that Mark Wahlberg is a babe) but regardless, it was a good movie and I recommend seeing it.  I was in the Glenview area and had to eat dinner before going to this movie and it was a big dilemma as to where to go but I ended up choosing a gyros sandwich at Spiros on Waukegan.  It was delicious and I also recommend trying that but one of my options was McDonalds and it reminded me of being a little kid.  When I was younger I had an Aunt Doll.  She was my mom's aunt that came over every Wednesday to iron our laundry.  I did not even know her real name until she passed away but Aunt Doll was the best.  She would show up early Wednesday morning and bring with her Dunkin Donuts (munchkins to be exact-to this day, the best kind of donut there is.)  We would watch her iron laundry for a little while she told us stories and at 10 we would watch The Price is Right, back when Bob Barker was cool.  This hour of the TV was the best because we would swear along with her and pretend we would have won Plinko or whatever game the person on the TV had just lost.  I could still tell you the price of the electric scooter or any of the cleaning supplies that were used in the different games.  After the show was over we would put our coats on and go eat at McDonalds.. ask me how we weren't absolutely obese children and I would have no explanation but it was always awesome.  Aunt Doll also had a canary named Chico (most perfect name ever) he never came over to our house but he sufficed as a pet until we had one of our own.  She definitely lived up to her name and we'll never forget her!
