Happy July 4th

As I signed in, I realized it's been over 30 days since my last blog entry. Not much going on. Especially since Ireland.

I'm sitting here, not completely rained out, but pretty much hating a Wednesday National Holiday. Yes - I should be grateful that I can get a day off from work when I can get it and YES - I should be grateful to be celebrating Independence Day, but I have to say this Wednesday-middle-of-the-week-not-much-going-on-due-to-rain celebration is lame at my house.

If it weren't for Steph & Chad inviting me over to hamburgers it would have been a major bummer day. Because I absolultely love love love fireworks. Makes me feel like a kid again. And give me our national anthem anyday. I like red white & blue and I like being patriotic. But, dear congressman (if you happen to be reading this), please make our National Holidays only fall on Monday and/or Friday. I need 3 day weekends. Not 4 day work weeks with 2 days bookending the holiday. It's all I'm asking since I never write to you for anything important.

So fireworks this year is sitting on my couch watching the Macy's July 4th celebration on NBC while I flip to ABC to watch the Chevy celebration in Houston - which, I'm sure is almost as rained out as Austin is. And tonight's a work night so no boisterous partaking of adult beverages because I'm seriously busy tomorrow.
