earthbelowHappy 4th of July!
I was going to be spending the day with the Boy, relaxing and enjoying that it's only 80 degrees here in NYC.
But, he got called into work on a very important case. I won't talk about the details of it, just that it was very important sounding, and it must've been because they called him in on a major holiday.
I'm not all that bummed. I mean, I wish Andrew was here - but it wasn't like we had big plans. It's probably just as well, because we were planning to have burgers and fries today (as is 4th of July tradition for many) - but we went out last night and had pizza.
Two days in a row of junk food does no good when you're trying to lose weight. I might go out for a walk today, get in a bonus day of exercise. The weather is fairly good, even though it looks like rain.
Maybe I should break out the paints. I've been wanting to do that all week.
Happy Birthday, America. I love you, I think you have the potential to be the best nation on Earth, and I'm proud that I was born here. I'm proud that I can go from tall mountains to low valleys, I'm proud that I can go from forest to desert. I'm proud that in America, as in New York, there's at least one of everything. I'm also proud that I am free to say what I think and feel. And I'm proud that no matter how bad it gets in this country, I know that things can and do change. As the expression goes, "Don't like the weather? Wait an hour, it'll change."
