4th of July weekend!

So this weekend was good. It was definitely a different kind of 4th weekend then I am used to but I enjoyed it.



First off, I had to work on Friday :( but I did get to leave at like 1:30 because there was no work for me to do and I did not feel like sitting here wasting my time. So I got home, went for a run, watched Smallville/napped, had dinner-corn on the cob, yum!, and then went to the park to see some ground fireworks where I met up with Marissa. The fireworks this year at Hampton sucked. First of all, Hampton is so broke that they could only afford one night to celebrate so they chose the 3rd...not the day of our independence, cool. The ground/low fireworks were good but when they moved on to the few higher ones they had, there was atleast a 20 second pause between each firework. I mean, really? The finale which is what I always look forward to with fireworks was ok. Overall, the whole night was a dissapointment. Oh and Marissa and I ran into people that we graduated with, some I was more aquainted with then others. One guy I barely spoke to in school I talked to the most, granted he is a friendly guy but still, the whole thing was awkward.



Saturday rolls around. My day to sleep in and my dad wanted me to wake up at 6AM to help him with the yard sale. He had very hopeful thinking that I was going to wake up that early to help with a stupid yard sale that I don't think we should even bother ourselves with. We should just sort Aunt Jean's stuff, get what little stuff we want out of it and take it to Goodwill. Then we would be rid of the stuff and have our garages back. But it's not my decision. So I roll out of bed around 10ish and I throw on some clothes and head out with my computer and Smallville. I sit there watching Smallville and barely anyone comes. This yard sale def was not worth it. A couple hours later, I go in and make lunch. Hot dogs and mac 'n cheese. :) Then after that, we had to clean up. I convinced my parents to let me load up the durango and take all the books to Half Priced Books. 25 minutes later, after I delivered all the books to the store, I was 32 dollars and 25 cents richer. I got to keep all that because that was my cut for "helping." I barely did anything all day and my parents still paid me. love it. I did not have plans for the fireworks and I was just planning on doing whatever with my parents until Karen asked if I had plans so we decided to go downtown. So Karen and I made the adventure downtown. It was an awesome time. We met up with Katherine, her friend, mom and brother. We sat in the grass, none of us remembered to bring a blanket, listened to Three Dog Knight (they sing the "Jeremiah was a bullfrog song"), talked, ate ice cream and generally had a good time. The fireworks were so good. I can't believe I have never been downtown before! Of course, I've always had the option of going to Hampton so why would I but I think I will be making downtown a regular occurence now. It's fun. I'll def remember a blanket next time.

Sunday was a lazy day. I went to church-no one was there! You can def tell it's summer. Came home, ran, did laundry, ate lunch, started decorating my memory box that I wanted to make for high school, put pictures in the picture frames that I have, hung up stuff, made a mess of my room, cleaned it, ate dinner, watched Food Network Challenge and watched Hannah Montana and iCarly-I'm addicted and want to own all of Hannah Montana (lol-I'm such a kid). All in all, it was a good day. I like lazy days. very much. :)

peaceee.
