What did you do for Memorial Day?
 

Well?? What did you do?? :)





I watched the local parade since my dad and his Civil War troop were marching. I then went to a memorial service at a cemetary in which I played "Taps" while dressed in a Confederate uniform :D Funny thing is, everyone else was in Union dress :o

put flowers on my grand dads grave hada BBQ and did laundry....BUT it was a day off!:D

And I can't call in sick on Mondays
when the weekends been too strong

I just work straight through the holidays
And sometimes all night long
You can bet that I stand ready when the wolf growls at the door
Hey, I'm solid, hey I'm steady, hey, I'm true down to the core

And I will always do my duty no matter what the price
I've counted up the cost, I know the sacrifice



I got to enjoy my Memorial Day (and yesterday, too) wearing the uniform of those great heroes that have gone before, remembering their sacrafice and hoping that no more American Servicemen will have to be added to the list.

What holiday?

i worked straight thru. My next day off isn't until Friday

I love the holiday pay though! :D Double time and a half for today

I drove to Ft. Rosecrans National Cemetary to place flowers on my mother's grave.

I was turned away at the gate because they were holding some memorial day event.

I'm not against honoring veterans and those who lost their lives - but I was really disappointed that I wasn't even allowed a couple of minutes to put flowers down for my deceased mom. I had even brought an extra bunch of flowers to place on a random war veteran's grave. Both sets of flowers wilted on the hot car ride home. :(

.....Kelly :(

I worked 8 to 4.

Took a few minutes to remember those alive and deceased who fought for our country. Put together a display of the Flag of the United States. Attended a Renaissance Faire.
God Bless Our Service Men and Women.
Thank you, Docet Boy for your service.

Went upstate to visit my family. Did loads and loads and loads of laundry. Had a BBQ. Drove back to the city. Sulked about returning to work on Tuesday LOL.

We went to a cold, rainy baseball game.

The president of my company was in my store all day, so I worked......6 am to 6 pm. Blah. And we were way busy. Blah some more. But I did say I prayer for all the veterans before I went to sleep......

I stayed up for around 50 hours going from Fiji to New Zealand, back to Fiji, to Los Angeles, and then back to Chicago.

--And I don't want to step on a plane for a while

I went tanning, went to two cookouts, and then went to a hookah bar. It was the best day ever.

Slept a lot and recovered - this long weekend was exactly what I needed.

FLEET WEEK!

I checked out the hot young sailors from the USS Kennedy this weekend!

I also watched the John McCain movie last night.

Latin exam :rolleyes: ... then drinks at the pub with Americans up here for summer classes.

I worked. Double holiday pay=new purse for Sharon :) The guys at work decided to have an X-Box tournament since we were the only ones at the station for the day. It was actually relaxing not having a million people running around.

I got hammered down by the beach. And I got paid for working without having to go into work!

Word

~Watched a memorial service at my city's veteran's memorial park.
~BBQ with family
~Did laundry
~Tried to figure out how to work my new PDA

baked, cooked, shopped, walked the dog, ate and hung out with the in-laws. Thankfully, they left around 6 pm, so we could veg the rest of the night.

Last night was the first night in I don't know how long we actually got to bed before midnight.

My family and I took the metro to Washington, DC to visit the WWII monument. My grandfather fought in Army Air Force, but was sent home when both of his older brothers were killed in combat. We paused at the Wisconsin pillar (where my grandfather is from) in rememberance of my grandfather and his brothers (my grandfather died three months before I was born).

I slept for most of the weekend. I had a friend of mine come in from Florida, then we went to play at a local casino. I came home reeking of smoke, so I took a shower afterward. Then we ordered and ate pizza. I played with my new laptop for a while before going to sleep and zonking out for the rest of the weekend.

Slept a lot and enjoyed the fact that my Husband and kids and I were actually at the same place together for once (he works and goes to school full time), then we laid a new patio - well started too anyway :-)

i drank. a lot. my liver no longer likes me.

blissfully very little

Went to Cancun and had the best time ever!!!!!!

Heh..I found the pic of me playing "Taps" :) Oh, and I ended up on the front page :p
