Fireworks!

That fam loves to celebrate the 4th,....partly because that is Mike and Jen's wedding anniversery....so Mike always says...."Honey I spend all this money on fireworks because I love you!" it's sooo great. ...fireworks with them are always fantastic! and I mean....the get the really fucking good ones. When they light the works...it's like it's a fucking professional show! The are big and beautiful...and fucking high up in the sky!

They were a bit late in setting them off this year because they had to wait for someone to get there before setting them off....and as they waited the heard other people setting things off and when the person finally they arrived...they rush off to the yard because their "Manhood is (was) being threatened!)

at one point B yelled out, "You're Weak! You're Weak! You can't even clear the trees!!"

so much fun.

Oh...another thing I forgot to include in the previous entry was that we played Quidditch! It was fantastic! We took 2 hula hoops and attached them to the ground with posts. we used a beach ball as a Quaffle, a dodgeball as a bludger. the snitch was a golf ball that was hidden somewhere in the yard. ...If your a Seeker and you got hit with a bludger you had to stand still for 15 seconds, if you were anyone else you had to release the quaffle if you were holding it.

It was so fun. we were running around playing Muggle quidditch, doesn't get much better than that.

birthday and 4th update
July 09, 2004 3:02 a.m.

I received a call from my B around midnight inviting me on a trip to North Carolina to spend the 4th with their kick ass family! So I went down to the lovely TH on friday (my b-day) so I could the travel the rest of the trip to SC.

Also...early Friday morning I received a call from the HR person for Purdue commented on my resume and how she wanted to send it to an office campus for a position I am apparently very qualified for and that they have been trying to fill for a good while. First I needed to fill out a questionaire...which I didn't do until yesterday all that has been in the works ...resume just sent off today. Hopefully I'll get called in for an interview soon. Position seems to fit my experience more, pay more, AND is closer to home....exactly what I'm looking for.

Anyway, I was in SC until Tuesday, and I didn't drive back to my place until Weds. night...stayed with my peeps in TH for the night.

And I seriously love my B more than Ever! Guess what he bought me.....ALIAS SEASON 2!!!

See I had really expected my parents to get it for me. I mean....I had been hinting really hard. ...wait...not hinting, flat out telling them. and instead they gave me money......which yeah...I could use...but the thing is that AS2 is something I wanted so much and yet wouldn't buy for myself because I couldn't justify spending that much money on one item when I am so broke. Granted my mom said that with the money she gave me I could buy it...but the truth is....I couldn't. I'd feel guilty about it...and everytime I'd see it on the shelf I'd feel bad. So when B called me I bitched and moaned and threw a big fit about not getting it...because my parents took me out for a birthday dinner on Thursday (day after getting fired) and I really thought I'd be coming home from dinner with AS2 and I could sit back and relax, watch some Alias and feel better about the world. ...and it really upset me that I couldn't.

but the B bought it for me while we were in SC! And I feel bad for throwing the fit because it wasn't meant to get him to buy it for me....I mean, I don't want him spending tht much money on me! ...but I guess he is doing much better careerwise than anyone....and has the money. ...I just feel bad.
