Independence Day
We the people.... naaah, I'm not going to type it out. If you need the words, you can go to your local library. But not today. Because they're closed for Independence Day. Unless you're reading this from somewhere besides the US or one of its territories, in which case, you shouldn't be reading this because YOU SHOULD BE AT WORK! (I see you Canada, and I'm ashamed of your behavioUr.)
As a kid, I believed that the 4th of July fireworks were celebrating my birthday. Frankly, I miss being able to believe it. Because of course as an adult, now I understand that they're really celebrating the consumption of 150 million hotdogs, 200 million beers, and an extra day off work. Not my birthday at all. LOSERS!
Anyway, I just want to encourage any of you reading here who are co-dependent, because this would be a great day to become independent. I mean, they named the day that and everything. If Thomas Jefferson and those guys can get it done 200 years before computers, I think that We, the internet people, can do it better.
Go then. Gain your independence. Or just drink beer and eat hotdogs, whichever.
I'm out... the fireworks are starting and I'm the guest of honor.

And if you REALLY want to drink a lot, make sure you're in-Depends-ent.
Wait for it, wait for it...
Independence is vastly overrated.
Which is why I've become dependent on chocolate pudding. Delicious!
Happy 4th baby!!!! Watch some fireworks or make some of your own!!!! Have a great day! :)

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!
Have a fun day doing all sorts of fun stuff. I'm talking serious fun here. I wanna hear about it later.
*slinks off to work*
Bloggy: Nah, I've never worked for NASA, and I won't be on a road trip... so thanks anyway, but I'm good without the Depends. ***shudder***
Dave2: There should be a law against independence from chocolate pudding. Because you're right: DELICIOUS!
Angie: Do you two have big plans this weekend, or do you have to work? I hope you both have the day off!!
TG: You too, Mama!
Kranki: Heh! If I could give you the day off work, I TOTALLY WOULD!! Come down south and party with us!!
Hey Twinnie! I always count the fireworks as the START of my birthday. My mom often told the story of how she went into labor (water breaking and all that) right after getting home from watching the fireworks so...really, the fireworks are celebrating me, Me, ME! And you too, of course, 'cause it's my birthday and I say so! Heehee! Cheers, beers and hotdogs! Woo!!!
oh, and by the way...I totally love you!!!
Hubby's birthday is on the 6th and we pretend the fireworks are for HIM, but, if you promise not to tell, I'll pretend they're for YOU this year, ok? :)
We're in Colorado and seeing some fabulous mountains, and I've thought about you and your mountains a couple of times.
Loves you, darlin.
Take care!
Hmmm...you could always Google it, I suppose.
Had to work anyways, even if I am an Amer'kin. Damn it.
(Nuclur...heh heh)
So? It's merely coincidence that we're celebrating hotdogs, but the beer, my dear, is for you. Honest! The fireworks? They're there because, well...they're shiny. And they make large boom-noises. Yeah. And we couldn't wait any longer for New Years, so we're shooting some off now. :)
Sorry I missed your birthday post. I wished you a happy one at Flicker, but sorry I missed the post.
Happy Independence Day, one day late, to you and all the E's!
Geez. It's ALWAYS about you, isn't it, shari?
Traci:HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BOOKEND TWIN!!! LOVE YOU TOO!!
CK: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CK's Hubby!!
Mo/Dis: Working on the 4th is un-'merikin. I forbid it.
Squirl: Hope you and yours enjoyed the holiday weekend, sis!
Sir: I'm sorry, what did you say? I didn't hear you because I was thinking something brilliant again.
Happy Birthday to you and to the US.
wait, where do I go to get at those 200 million beers?
my uncle was over for the 4th, and his birthday is actually on the 4th, so in addition to getting fireworks, he got cake. he is 62 years old and the happiest person i know, and it is no wonder why.
A very belated H.B.! I hereby raise my glass with a toast to you, so that only leaves 199,999 beers more to go. (Oh, you mean those were for everybody?!)
Oh dear, I've missed your birthday due to laziness.
Happy belated!
OK, it looks like we will be back at "your" lake 7/29 & 7/30...are you free to meet up?
William: Indeed. Thanks!
Limpy: Beauty is all around you, so long as you have money and I.D. showing you as over 21.
/Brandon\: Well yeah... fireworks AND cake... hard to top that. How is he on the other holidays though, huh? That's what I want to know.
Ortizzle: Nah, you only have to share them with me! Thanks!!
Zuhn: Thank you! It was a lovely day, y'know... all except for my friend in Canada/Pennsylvania/Tennessee who couldn't be bothered to get here on time... ;)
Shangie: Waaaaaaaaaah! No fair!!
