How was your 4th of July weekend?
 
Well, mine sucked horribly. I got in a wreck driving someone else's car. I was in the ER for 4 1/2 hours because of a pulled groin after lifting too much weight at the gym while bench pressing. My car got broken in to and my check book was stolen along with a Bar'B'Que set for grilling I had in the trunk that I was giving to someone as a gift. My best friend from my childhood popped up at my door at 11pm friday night all fucked up and sad because him and his wife got in a big fight and she left him saying they were getting a divorce.....so I had to deal with that all weekend. I passed out in the middle of sex pissing my GF off because i drank waaaaaay too much smirnoff 100 with my boy to help ease his troubles with his wife/ now ex-wife. :rolleyes: It was a horrible weekend.



How was everyone else's?


ETA: I got called a vagina a million times by my friends for not partying with them holiday weekend style. :rolleyes:

pretty quiet. went to two barbecues. did not drive as there were police out everywhere. stayed in last night and watched fireworks on TV and got away with porching my car overnight.
boring i guess.

The weekend was boring, I had to work. But the actual 4th was stellar...I haven't had such a great time in years!!! Counting down for next year....

It was fun. I went bar hopping with friends on Friday night. I spent Saturday at a car dealership almost all day. Bought a new car so now I'm all excited about driving around! Went to dinner with the boyfriend that night to celebrate and drank waaaay too much. I spent Sunday on my couch nursing a hangover and did a low key get-together at friend's house Sunday night. Yesterday, I went to a friend's house for a barbecue and then saw some fireworks.
It was overall a really good weekend. I definitely wasn't ready to go back to work today. I think there should be more 3 day weekends!

My weekend was great - I was on my honeymoon until the 3rd, and yesterday we got back and just relaxed before going back to work today.

I watched the fireworks on TV rather than going to the Esplanade - hopefully my next apartment will be further in towards the city and I can walk down next year.

Mine was pretty fun. I drank wayyyyy too much on Friday night and ended up getting sick, but I got to see the Black Eyed Peas in concert for free down under the STL Arch, plus an amazing fireworks show.

My actual 4th sucked b/c we came back to Columbia and now I'm sick with the flu, booooo.

Not the best 4th I've ever had.

We drove 5.5 hours (one way) to visit my husband's uncle in Lawrence, KS, shoot off illegal fireworks in his driveway.

And it rained, so they didn't even get to shoot off that many.

About 18 hours after we got there, we turned around and drove 5.5 hours back.

Had a cookout with a friend and then watched the fireworks in town.

Pretty much the most pointless holiday we've had.

Honeykiss1974 07-05-2005 02:04 PM

Mine sucked rotten eggs. I had plans to go out of town, but someone broke into my car Thursday night smashing my window and tried to steal my CD player. The weekend was getting all that fixed (because of course, it cost the same as my deductible so there went my weekend cash). :mad:

Oh yeah, we had tornados and lightening too which killed the "plan B" trip to the lake (which ended up damaging most of the marinas at said lake)

Ours was good....we went to Disneyland and they re-opened Space Mountain early for the holiday weekend (it's not supposed to be reopened until the 15th!). The crowds were manageable and we had a great time! Left before the fireworks as that's when the crowds REALLY got bad!! LOL

BobbyTheDon 07-05-2005 03:04 PM

mine was good. went down to san diego. only had one beer. pretty much passed out at 9pm.

went back up to OC the next day. stayed in Irvine and passed out at around 10pm.

i took my girlfriend to eat some vietnamese food. she didn't like it. but she still ate it anyway. i loved her even more just for trying.

Chilled in a parking garage for about an hour and a half.

seriously though. it was great times.

SigmaChiCard 07-05-2005 03:27 PM

mine was great...we drove down to dillard, ga for the 1/2 way point on friday, then continued on down to Charleston, SC.

The weather was beautiful, the women were beautiful, the beach was great and our drinks were comped b/c my brother owns a bar there...CBW. damn fine time.

AchtungBaby80 07-05-2005 03:52 PM

I had a blast! :)

Moral of the story? We had The Best Weekend Ever! Sign us up for VH1.

Went to Fire Island Sat & Sun...love love love Ocean Beach. Had a great time at the sharehouse of one of my alumnae sisters...we had a blast being Dancing Queens Saturday night..

Sunday night was chill back here in the city..went out for sushi saw Cinderella Man and had all in all a great evening with the boy. Monday we had brunch & walked in Central Park.

Probably one of the better summer weekends I've had in a while...

Definetly was thinking of the few soldiers I know over in Iraq...

My sister was there too. :)

I went to Taste of Chicago with my mom...got sunburned and watched John Hiatt and Moby from really good seats at the Petrillo Music Shell. It was the first time I'd been to a concert there and sat anywhere except the lawn.

Unfortunately it was raining and icky so I didn't go out and see fireworks. I watched the Boston Pops ones on TV.

RedRoseSAI 07-05-2005 08:35 PM

Aww, I didn't know Moby was in town! <<bummed>>

I went to Seattle - had a great time visiting relatives I don't get to see nearly enough!

winnieb 07-05-2005 10:40 PM

We went to a friends house for a block party. We swam, had bbq, tons of fireworks-- the block had between $6,000 and $10,000 in fireworks- between about 20 houses---so there were fireworks everywhere. And then at the end of the evening we carried lawn chairs to the end of the street and watched our town's display.
We had a good day.

non-greek newby 07-05-2005 10:44 PM

Not that bad. The family and I went to the fireworks in NYC. We got a front seat this time which was pretty awesome. But, unfortunately, the fireworks were a little subpar this year. I definitely appreciated those smiley faces, though. They always get to me. :)

PhoenixAzul 07-05-2005 11:11 PM

CRAPTASTIC.
I had to work all weekend, including the 4th, without holiday pay. The only thing that made me happy was riding my bike to work and impressing the stupid drunk people around the pool. I worked 7hrs without so much as a bathroom break. Eff that. And eff people who have nothing better to do than sit at the pool all day and get drunk. Don't you work?????????

Jill1228 07-05-2005 11:25 PM

I worked the whole weekend. It sucks to have to work but, Gotta love the holiday pay! :D

christiangirl 07-06-2005 01:16 AM

Went to my aunt's house, watched fireworks. Cool till my nephew freaked out.

MaMaBuddha 07-06-2005 01:52 AM

took my girlfriend and the kid to see the fire works in battery park city.

eveyone else was there too. it was like the cheese line. i swear i hate crowds.

wrestled in the park on the grass with girlfriend and she jacked me up, she DOES NOT know how to play fight.

watched this dude fight his girlfriend and she totally slammed him into the grass.

got drunk and was running from my soon to be mother in law cause she was trying to smell my breath.


last but not least got pulled over by cops because i had a bob marley shirt on with popeyes chicken crumb on it.

Called in "sick" to work this weekend.

Went to BayFest at MCBH. Saw Papa Roach on Friday, Brad Paisley Sunday, and Lynyrd Skynyrd last night. Got drunk offa other people and saw fireworks 3 times.

Partied with the sisters in honor of a chapter sister, leaving Hawaii to go to Ft. Benning, GA this week. Crazy pix are posted on MySpace and the ElJay for your viewing pleasure.

Work was not kind today. Time for sleepy. First time sleeping in about 3-4 days.

Best 4th of July weekend EVAR.

Beryana 07-06-2005 01:24 PM
