The 4th of July

So the 4th of July. One of my favorite holidays. Watching 1776 (which I watched twice), BBQs and parties. What more can I ever want in life?? I did have a bit of trouble with the 4th... I was supposed to work all weekend. When Paul and I were talking about the schedule for that week I said, "Does the American get the 4th of July since it is my holiday?" And I think he thought I was kidding. He scheduled me to work both days. I got off Sunday, but I had to work Saturday night. Work wasn't bad. I got to watch one of the World Cup games and some of the Cubbies game.

Sunday. BBQ Day. I made potato salad and BOY was it good. I'm eating the rest of it tonight for dinner. It's about 95% perfect. I walked around with the big bowl and eating it. Good times. The BBQ itself was small just me, Amanda, Julie, Sean, Chris, Sammi, Jenny, and for a little bit Audrey. We made so much food and ATE ALL OF IT. Sammi even brought hamburgers so we ate those too. Most everyone stayed until like 1am and we just sat around talking. Chris stayed with Julie and Amanda that night so the next day we went to the Mill and sat around for a little bit. I had to work that night.



It was a good day though. The whole weekend was good.

Other than that, the weekend before the 4th I went to Ely. We watched the England vs Germany game. Oh England. Sooo not a good game. Arthur joked about putting on winter coats they have that have the flag of Germany and then going down to the pub. LOL. It was too hot though. Sophie is sooo freaking cute. I introduced her to ketchup which she LOVED. She licked the ketchup off the piece of chicken and then tried to give me back the chicken for more ketchup. I said no double dipping. She understood me. I did promise to teach her the wonders of double dipping for shrimp. You know, something I don't eat.

So that's the catch up on my life. Have to go to work soon. Germany game on tonight!
