Happy Fourth of July!!

RStar · 07-04-2007, 08:35 AM

I hope everyone has a great Independance Day Celebration today!

I'm hosting a party for about a dozen people who have become US citizens this year, mostly from South Africa. Here in Garden Grove we can still light off fireworks, and see the Disneyland fireworks from our yard. We will have red-white-and blue food and drinks. I made CDs with patriotic music. Flags will fly from every corner of the yard.

How about you? Any great plans (for those of you not camping that is

)?

If you do light up fireworks, please be safe. Although I have to admit that beer and explosives are my favorite pastime!

By the way, this was to be my 1776th post, but I missed it by one!!!

Happy Independence Day everyone

BBQ @ noon here. nice thing....I aint cookin'
sadly, no personal fireworks allowed here in San Diego....although in my particular case that might be a good thing. I tend to get carried away with the pyrotechnic stuff

I'll be spending the day cooking at an A's game. Splurged on seats four rows back from home plate and of course it looks like it will be a billion degrees today (normally we try to sit under the overhang so we're in the shade).

One word of warning: I have given the Canadian Air Force permission to carpet bomb any location heard playing Lee Greenwood. So have fun everybody but do it safely (by not playing Lee Greenwood).

I'm just hanging around the house but I agree with Alex. Here's to a Lee Greenwood free day!

Happy Fourth of July!

Tonight, I'm going to Japantown for noodles and then the Kabuki for Ratatouille.

Right now, doing laundry.

I should be doing laundry. Or work.

Instead, I'm playing video games, and am being thankful that it's raining. Less chance of fires if everything's wet.

The boy has the sniffles so we're just going to the movies and then hanging around the house.
I'm hoping the neighbors bbq, then I can beg them to cook some hot dogs for the boy. He was supposed to go to a bbq today but he'd rather go to the movies with me!
I'm also hoping they, neighbors, will help me light fireworks tonight.

Can you tell the "jobs" I don't normally do on the 4th!?! I sure do miss my husband

I made a set of patriotic CDs for the party, but I just re-burned the one that HAD the Lee Greenwood on it, removing said song. It had Bush on it, and I was afraid I might get some icy looks, which would be nice on a hot day....NOT!!

I left the Angry American on it, though. And Elvis. Gotta have Elvis doing God Bless Amurica, momma baby!
