I don’t have much to report regarding our Independence Day celebrations. We went to breakfast at about 11:30 a.m. and then I worked for my dad for a couple of hours. After I got home, my husband and I ran some errands, had a late lunch and watched "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" on DVD. (It was really good, too. I wish I hadn’t listened to the critics – I’d have seen it sooner.)
We’d planned to see "Superman Returns," but the showing we wanted was sold out and we didn’t feel like waiting around. We’ll probably see it next weekend and save the new "Pirates of the Caribbean" for the following weekend.
After the DVD ended, I decided I felt like watching some fireworks. It was just a whim, really, but I looked up local displays online and chose one about 20 minutes away. When we got near the town, there were cars parked along the highway starting several miles out. We pulled into a parking lot and quickly realized that we could barely see the fireworks from where we were.
By then, I was over the whole fireworks wild hare, so we left and just enjoyed whatever random fireworks we spotted on the drive home. Next year, we’ll plan ahead.
Once we got home, we got sucked into one movie after another on TV and I finally went to bed at 2:00 a.m. Thank goodness I bought some Red Bull over the weekend. I think I might drink one now.
So that’s my lame finish to the weekend. The good news: I only work two days this week!
What did the rest of you folks in the U.S. do with your holiday yesterday?
