We had a very festive week leading up to the 4th of July having the opportunity to spend a lot of fun time with friends and family. Here we're just done watching some fireworks at Dan Patch Days in Savage with our good friends, The Schoen Family. Had I known my hair looked like this, I probably wouldn't have been nearly as happy as I seemed to be at the time.
On Thursday night, we went golfing with Grandma Linda and Cousin Mallory. Grandma taught us a lot of really unique techniques for mastering the game. Most of them involve cursing of some sort, but they do seem to work.
Both of my sisters brought their families to town to celebrate the 4th of July and enjoy a family vacation with us. Having nine extra people living in my house has been great practice for some new stress management techniques I've been trying to master! Luke told me that Uncle Dave was pushing him really high on the swing in the front yard, but I had no idea it would go this high until I went out for this picture. Then I went back inside and prayed for his safety.
On Friday night, we went to Canterbury Downs to watch the horse races and see an incredible fireworks celebration. Drinking beers, gambling on horses, and singing songs loudly with my family made me Proud to be an American!
On Saturday, we went to the Apple Valley 4th of July parade and spent two hours watching floats, marching bands, and policemen on horses yelling at us to back off the street. I guess they're worried about the Shriners running into us as they go crazy while they fly up and down the street on their little motorized vehicles. Seems to me that the policemen would be better served by yelling at the Shriners instead, but that's just one man's opinion.
I have fun meeting people like former US Senator and current candidate for Minnesota Governor, Mark Dayton. I always yell out my support for all the politicians even if I have no plans on voting for them. It just seems to make them happy!
Of course, no parade would be complete without having mass amounts of candy tossed at us. Aunt Tracy loved rallying the kids to go for it whenever a tootsie roll or sucker ended up in the street near by us. Eventually it seemed that even God was getting in the act as the candy just seemed to rain down us from the heavens!
On Saturday night we went to downtown Minneapolis to see the incredible fireworks display we heard they had. We thought we were pretty smart when we staked out a good place to watch a few hours before they started. Unfortunately, we didn't realize that the streets would fill in with a huge amount of drunk people who had no issues with standing in front of the kids to see them light the sky. They did sound pretty good, though! Nice Emails of the Week From my friend, Cathy, who apparently is tired of hearing about my medical drama.
Sheesh with the drama! Whaddya anglin' for -
sympathy, or what!? Knock it off already!
NORMAL ARM-GAL UPDATE
FOR THE WEEK OF JUNE
21, 2009
Monday, went to work. Got home safe with my lungs and eyes intact.
Fed the dogs, played with the dogs. Went to bed.
Tuesday, went to work. Got home safe. Lungs and eyes were still
intact. Fed the dogs, played with the dogs. Watched the Twins
game. Went to bed.
Wednesday went to work. Then went to Jenny Craig. Lost another 1.6
lbs and 4 more inches. Got home safe. Scary moment there for half
a second as lightening moved in. Then it moved out. Fed the dogs.
Watched the Twins game. Went to bed.
Thursday went to work. Got nothing done as I mourned the loss of
Farrah Fawcett. Feathered my hair in her honor. Got home and was
pissed to see that Michael Jackson bumped her from all news
coverage. Fed the dogs. Went to bed.
Friday morning got up, and 30 seconds later, threw my radio out the
window. By that time, I had Michael Jackson coverage coming out of
my ears. Since I still wanted my eyesight intact, I had no choice
but to dispose of the offending electronic. Went to work. Got home
safe. Fed the dogs. Watched the Twins game. Had a Kahula and
cream. Got out my Charlie's Angels Season 1 on DVD. Watched a
couple episodes. Retrieved my radio. Went to bed.
Saturday I got up and went grocery shopping and to the vet to pick
up Jackson's prescription. Came home. Watched the Twins game.
Then I watched the Cubs game. Both lost. Phooey. Watched
Defiance. Good movie! Went to bed.
Sunday I got up and successfully went shopping. Now I have shorts
that fit and won't cause a scene when they're down around my ankles.
Watched the Twins game and the Cubs game at the same time. Both
lost. Phooey. Cut the grass in the front and backyards. Logged on
to make sure Shortarmguy was still alive. At last report, he still
was.
CRIPPLED IS A
STATE OF MIND.
UNLESS YOUR EYES
HAVE BRONCHITIS. THEN IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD.
