my July 4th musings

[xphilehb]

I think every week should have a holiday. One night, besides Friday, where I can stay up as late as I want because I don't have to worry about getting up the next morning. One morning, besides Saturday, where I can sleep in as late as I want and then lay in bed for another hour watching Farscape.

Yep. That's what I did yesterday morning, and it was lovely. In general, I had a semi-productive lazy day. I laid around a lot, but I also did some laundry, picked out several outfits from my closet to take with me on vacation, went to the grocery store with the roomie, and grilled some hamburgers for dinner.

We had what I consider a truly American dinner. Hamburgers, tater tots, corn on the cob and some Mike's hard limeade. It was full of starch, and just about my favorite meal ever! Then, I was fortunate enough to have a perfect view of Lincoln's fireworks from my apartment balcony last night. Gorgeous fireworks with none of the up-close noise! Nor did I have to deal with the traffic. It was great, and the fireworks made me so excited. Apparently, I am 12 when it comes to fireworks. I kept saying "fantastic!" to no one but myself.

So that was my 4th. What I did not love were the ever-so-kind (that's sarcasm, by the way) folks who were shooting off fireworks right outside our building until nearly 1 am. Hence, Heather is a sleepy girl today. And now that I only have three working days until vacation, you can imagine how low my motivation to work is. Bleh.

Speaking of work, I better go try to do some...

Heeeeeee. This cracked me up for no reason. Possibly because I see a more than a little of myself, here. Fantastic!

You should have seen me waiting for the fireworks Monday night. I was getting so impatient. I kept asking my friend what was taking so long. And then, I kept "oohing" and "aweing" like a little kid.

Stupid people setting off fireworks! Though I guess I should thank them, since I now have a betaed fic to post. Thanks again! Now, I just need to think of a title. I hate titles.

Now, I am off to watch Doctor Who (because yes, I found the DVDs. Not that it matters, because Sci-Fi is currently showing a Who marathon...)

Love the icon. It will never not be funny. :)
