Happy 4th!!!

Obviously we just celebrated the 4th of July. I just read my sister Kristy’s blog on her 4th of July festivities-so funny that I had just been telling that same story of the parades my Grandmother used to make us have when we were little. Oh that Betty Hively!!! We had this big-to-do carnival type thing going on with face painting and games and all kinds of stuff! And that parade!! Good grief!!! Grandmother has us marching around that yard till we couldn’t stand it anymore! I don’t know how she did it but she had so much energy and would just keep going and going till she wore us out!!! I’m so glad we have that on video!!! Man I miss that crazy old lady-more than I ever thought I would!!! Ok let’s move on before I have a breakdown…

Onto my 4th of July festivities! So check it-my day started early when me & Jenny decided to walk from my house over to Smitty’s for breakfast. mmm Smitty’s!!! I think we were trying to convince ourselves that we were getting some exercise in since we walked over there but we stuffed our fat faces with food that we know isn’t good for us so that pretty much canceled our walking out! But we did walk back to my house so that’s gotta count for something right?! So I live by the river right? Well they a bunch of food booths and such by the river every year and last year I discovered that there was a funnel cake booth!!! Score!!! So naturally I am really looking forward to that this year. I can’t celebrate my independence without stuffing my fat face full of funnel cake!!! And that’s just what I did!!! Me & Jenny walked over to the river and found that booth!! I had mine drizzled in chocolate fudge sauce and heavy whipped cream-I’m not talking cool whip crap either!! It was scrumptious!!! That was pretty much the highlight of my day!!! As mentioned before I live right by the river and since that’s where they set off the fireworks you better believe it was nuts in my neighborhood! It took us like a ½ to find a way out of there!! me, Jenny & boyfriend & Strudel (my sister Jamie) decided to walk over to the river to watch the fireworks and it was madness down there!!! it was a good show this year tho!! Here’s a couple pics I took with the camera on my phone. They’re not too bad….







I had Boyfriend take one of the three of us which dind't turn out that great but still it's cute!




So after the fireworks we walked back to my house which was no small task!!! I got man handled a few times while trying to fight my way thru the crowd!!! A few minutes after we got back to my house Judy my landlady came around and told all of us that the cops said we needed to stay in our apartments until they said we could come out. She didn’t know why but that’s what she was told. Judy stop trying to boss me-I’ll do what I want!!! Turns out some fool the next block up at a pipe bomb and the cops were all a buzz over it! How exciting!!!

Hope everyone had a fabulous 4th!!! Where else can you celebrate your independence by stuffing your fat face and blowing stuff up!!?! God bless America!!!
