It's lunch time and still in pj's. Oops. Worked on and off entire weekend. Thought it was worth it-getting caught up, etc. Well not caught up but guess less behind than I would be.....that's me taking a positive tude. In between working, I did socialize on the 4th. Spontaneously invited the neighbors over for a drink at 4PM. Turned into a bit of a block party. Actually got to know some of the neighbors and also got dirt on others. Found out there is a community garden and laying hens three doors up the street. i adore chickens-like cats with feathers! Watched the fire works from someone's deck. The marine layer miraculously lifted so we could see them this year. On the morning of the 4th-went for a run on the strand-oh the humanity! Young girls wearing spangled spandex bikinis shouting "little bitty titty committee", lecherous men handing out "free" drink tickets. On and on. I missed the Iron Man triathalon-the finale of which includes pounding as many beers as fast as possible until you puke on the beach to the great applause of bystanders. I know I am a crank but this is fun? really?
SPEAKING OF VOMIT. I was very hungover yesterday. I felt just awful but made myself exercise and my nephew and his new wife (don't ask) came over and picked up a sofa. Took 3 hours to get it out of the house. Took down doors, etc. It was hard work. I hope the extra calories consumed by way of alcohol, homemade olive bread, artichoke/spinach dip, hummus, chips and salsa, pasta salad and corn on the cob (with real butter) do not show up in a big gain-unfortunately I am PMSing-that along with the holiday created the perfect storm and I was like a tiny dinghy tossing in a sea of mojitos.
