It was just too cloudy and rainy to do much else.
Yeah, I was planning on going to watch fireworks but it's foggy and rainy here.
Of course, that doesn't mean it is on the other side of the city, but still, not good for the motivation.
Can't drink, smoke, diddle my willy. Doesn't leave much to do other than watch you blokes stumble around playing Agatha Christie.

I was wondering what happened to our Fireworks weather. Every year when fireworks are scheduled, it's usually too rainy or foggy for them, but not this year.

The status is NOT quo.
YAY! I adored it. How can you not love the romanticism of that little robot?
Yes! I loved it to pieces. Fabulous.
Also, Allyson is taunting me with pie.

I just watched the DC fireworks on TV, even though I could have seen them from my roof. I was watching the music stuff on TV, and got caught up in watching Jerry Lee Louis and didn't have time to get to the roof before the fireworks started. I could feel the vibrations of the fireworks, though.
Also been reading patriotic/political poems. I keep going back to "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, Bryan" and "I Hear America Singing." And, of course, "New Colossus," hence my new tagline.

Guiding Light talk! I really need to catch up in Natter more often. The lack of Bauer's really is sad. Did they even bother to build a Bauer house at the new location?

We have had a DAY today. Noah has been a pill ALL DAY. I had a moment where I realized he holds us hostage all the time. We put him down for a nap in our room, with the A/C on which meant we could not only leave, but we also could not go nap. Sigh. Our baby = little dictator.
We are watching Long Way Round and, sarameg, they are now in Ulaanbataar!
We had the uber american dinner: handmade tortillas, roasted corn and black beans, carne asada.
I'm pitting cherries and then I'm making a patriotic flag cake for brunch on sunday.

Man oh man are they good. I used sage instead of rosemary since that's what I had growing.

Why have I never come across that site before, brenda? She is funny while cooking yummy stuff. And the pictures? That is awesome.
