what a lovely weekend, heat aside
it really was
a lovely long weekend
albeit
incredibly
hot and humid
the office closed on wednesday at noon
for a 3 day holiday
divine
toonman works from home
so he didnt have to give himself a holiday
a old good friend of ours stopped by on wednesday
not expecting me to be there
i always explain our relationship
as
'he was toonman's roommate before i was'
so there was lots of good catch time
lots of reminiscing
before he had to head off to connecticut to his lady's house
so
he didnt stay
for
the
yummy
turkey meatball angel hair pasta dinner
i made
i also made a big mess
usually
toonman does the cooking
i left the rest of the weekend's meals to him
the fourth
was brutally hot
i spent almost all day
on the couch
re-reading
the stand
one of my favorite re-reads
do you re-read books
you enjoy?
i do
however
the stand
(the unabridged version)
is the one
i have re-read the most
i always start it on july 4th
because
that was the date
i initially began reading it
i dont re-read it every year
its always a long time between readings
its a long book
too
anyway
that's how i spent a lot of this past holiday
that
and
sleeping until 8:30 every morning
what a treat thats been
i am sure going to have a tough time
on
monday morning
when
5:30
rolls
around
we watched
a good day to die hard
a lot of fun
bruce willis
has
aged
well
john mctiernan
a friend of toonman's
directed the first die hard
so
we're fans of the series
we also watched the macy's fireworks on tv
we are such couch potatoes
aside from that
beautification
a brunch with my friend cheryl
and
some retail therapy
rounded out my time at home
right here
on
the street
where
we
live
how did you spend the 4th?
