July 4, 2006
Today is my last day of freedom from work, but I believe I got my money's worth out of it. I started by sleeping the day away, which may have been a mistake as it led to bizarre dreams about folding laundry and really long ear hair. In the afternoon I took some time out of being totally lazy to play with bubbles and the little guy next door. I wasn't actually blowing the bubbles for him, I found a little gun that shoots a continuous stream of little bubbles at Wal-Mart this weekend, a "must have" if you want to be known as "the coolest neighbor lady".
I went to the fireworks tonight, they were fabulous, perhaps the best I've ever seen (although I probably say that every year, except last year when they were just ok). I'll admit confusion as to the significance of the SpongeBob Squarepants song in the patriotic soundtrack, because I just really hate SpongeBob. Of course I went early enough to get cotton candy and do some people watching. Since this is an election year, the kids of politicians were working the crowds (an entirely different childhood scar I won't go into here). One little boy handed me a nailfile, emblazoned with the name of a county official up for re-election this year, and I looked at it wondering if it was intended to remind me of the candidates abrasive personality.

In all I'd say my 5 day weekend was a total success, I'm all caught up on my introverting (having burned through about 20 tealights sitting on the patio for countless hours either reading or just watching cars run the stop sign at the intersection). I also did some minor trespassing in Kentucky (maybe I'll post pictures if I got anything good out of it), and began my house shopping thanks to a kick in the pants from the Mamba Jamba of cockroaches. And, yes, I'm ready to go back to work tomorrow (it's only two days, I'm sure I'll survive!)
