4th of July
I will not be going out to do anything 4th of July related because for some reason, my family has a curse with the 4th of July. If we try to do things on the 4th of July, it does not end well. Highlights include: our car breaking down and stranding us well past midnight trying to get back and forth with the tow truck and a replacement car, fighting all the way to the fireworks and missing them, and last summer getting trapped in a tropical storm on a bridge with my boyfriend.
For several summers I would take a work shift on the 4th, since so many of my coworkers wanted it off to be with their families. And that suited me just fine. It's just when I try and go out to do something 4th of July related that bad stuff happens. I do not know why.
