Hooray! It's July 4th! I can now celebrate my American superiority by blowing things up! Well, more things up. Pretty things, like fireworks and we can also build a big bonfire by the lake. It's usually big enough to make your face feel like it's burning. So we move the chairs back.
We're clever.
We bring the dogs with us to the lake. They don't like July 4th. I think it must make them feel like someone is constantly shooting at them. If they know what shooting is. Perhaps they do. Even though I don't let them watch violence on television, I have a feeling that they turn it on when I'm not home. I think they like Starsky and Hutch. Sprocket told me that Spring likes to watch trashy movies on Lifetime Movie Network, but I think Sprocket was just stirring up trouble.
BellyRub and Erotica will be bringing Charley and Dumbellina to the lake tomorrow. Dumbellina will probably bother Spring until Spring threatens to poke her in the eye. Then Dumbellina will try again.
BellyRub has already been to Cleveland. He's had his first week of work, and I guess he likes it. I thought he was doing some kind of sales thing, but for now he's managing a warehouse. He's been unloading trucks full of air conditioners. I guess a ton (really, 2,000 pounds) of air conditioners arrived on Thursday. He had to unload them. Is that a normal thing to have a college boy do?
Apparently it is.
Evidence? He's doing it.
That's a snobbish thing to have said. Hooray for me being a snob. Hooray!
I must pack. BrilliantEditor will be wanting to leave and I am unprepared. Happily, this is normal behavior and he is growing used to it. I'm also attempting to be on time-ish.
I surprised him once by being only 20 minutes late for a car trip. And he was so happy. He'd built in an hour for my lateness. So we had a nice breakfast.
See what semi-lateness can get? Good good things.
