Big plans for the 4th?
 

Im picking up one of my my brothers from the airport in a few hours. We are going to chill with some friends and have Capital Fourth. Going down to the mall and see the fireworks. Maybe a bbq and some coronas.

My parents are vacationing in the mountains where I went to college, so we're going up to spend the weekend w/ them. It's nice to get back to campus, but I always realize when I get that that I've stepped back into time about 30 years....so that's the un-fun part.

Going to Philly to see my family! :D

BBQ with Mr. BetaRose's parents, then Fireworks at Lake Eola.

Hanging out at Home

Going to dad's. Block parties start at 6 a.m. Parties, parades, drinking, boating, fireworks....it's an all day event. :D

Since my sister is pregnant (her ultra-sound revealed she is having an alien) and my brother in-law isn't worth beans at home improvement I am going to their place to stain their kitchen cabinets that my father stripped down last week.
Uncle Joel needs to figure out if his nephew's aunt is coming down to painting the nursery too.

I'm going to be handing out campaign promotional items in the parade here in Edmond, OK for a State Senate candidate.

My favorite holiday of the year!
 

Cookout at the boyfriends parents' place. They have the inground pool, so we all flock to their house when the time is right! ;) Then, it's off to the fireworks! I love fireworks! :) I'm going to make the Cool Whip, strawberry, and blueberry flag cake. It's such a hit! And it's so cute. Yeah, I love this holiday!

Picking up my friends at LAX and spending the weekend on the beaches of Santa Monica and surrounding areas. :cool:

Braves game tonight, and then a cook out tommorow and another cook out on Sunday. And a WHOLE DAY OFF on Monday, so I am sleeping in!
Its going to be fun!

I'm working 12-5 at one job and then 6-Close at another (Close is midnight...so like 1AM I'll get home). :(

My parents are going to a barbeque at a friends house and going to see the fireworks.

There's a spot I've gone every year the past few years to see the fireworks over the Charles...I'll probably make my way down there this year.

King's Island and boozing.

downtown Chicago for fireworks with my friends and going to the taste of Chicago on the 3rd, BBQ at my house and my town's fireworks on the 4th! :D

It's still up in the air for my plans...it will either be...:

1. Kings Island w/the family
2. Watching fireworks with my boyfriend at the river front :D

Sleeping

ETA: Going to watch the Euro championship btw Portugal and Greece.

Well, since I live in my own house for the first time, we are going to have a HUGE BBQ with all our friends. I am so excited about it! I just redecorated the house and I am going out to get this cute red/white/blue plates and cups....I am so girly.......

Well I will be waking up, hanging a flag outside the apartment, followed by the national anthem and the pledge of allegiance. I hope to get all the latina ladies and their gay male friends in South Beach to be patriotic that day.

This will be followed by a good day of relaxing, eating, drinking, and the fireworks display. It's also my bday, so I'll probably be looking stellar as long as my weird eye bump disappears.

Working 11-6:30, woo woo.

After that, one of my very last days of underage beverage consumption. I might be hitting up fireworks with THE EX if he is home.

I'm spending the weekend at the beach (if it doesn't rain). On the 4th, I'm going to a friend's barbecue at her lake house.

BBQ at a friend's boyfriends apt. Rooftop :)

Saturday night I am going out with my friends so we can have a count down till midnight since my b-day is on the 4th. Then on Sunday my family is having a cookout and cake for me and we are setting off fireworks illegally.:D

Update: solvent fumes and alcohol go good together. :D

Working @ Wrigley....pray it doesn't rain...........

Watching the fireworks from the rooftop or near the East River.

Big thing for the day!

Reraising My American Flag from mourning The President to Celebrating the 4 Th of July!

Dont have to go anywhere for Blow ups, all around plus, with the Lewis & Clark re-enactments there is plenty to see on the News.

The reinactors have been going up the same trek that they went exploring the Louisianna Purchase. They were in the Kansas City Metro Area 200 years ago today!:)

Everyone have a Safe and Happy 4 th of July!
