So... today is a big day. Or at least, a hard one. For me. Today is Independence Day, July 4, 2006. *start trumpets to blaring* But... I'm doing it without my soldiers. For you see, he died, February 14, 2006. And though my second soldier is alive and well, and newly married... it's just not the same without Matt. So, remember. Remember all. Even those who are fighting for a different war than we are. No matter how misguided their notions may be to us, remember that they want their freedom in a different way. We may not agree, but we should understand, at least to a point. It's controversial, I know. But everyone believes in different things. So even if we don't agree, at least remember that they are losing people in this battle, and as stoic as some of them act, they are still losing family and friends, and it will still hurt them. They have lost, just as we have.
On other notes... my work week is just twittering by. I've got 3 hours left on this shift. and 3 more shifts to go. Yay for money! I'm bored. So... leave me things to do at work. Or, at least, I'm bored today. I cooked everything for our 4th of July feast except the brisket, and that's only because I wasn't there Sunday to marinate it or Monday to put it in the oven so early. But I made cheesy potatoe casserole and bread and baked beans and green beans and salad and sweet tea. Mom waited to make the ice cream till my sister, Jodi, and my neice, and her bethrothed and his kid got there. And it was HOMEADE. And I bet there is none left for me. I couldn't convince her to make it early. Jerk. I HEART HOMEADE ICE CREAM! But that's okay. I had fun cookin with Mom today.
Mom took me to a movie yesterday afternoon. We went to go see Click, with Adam Sandler. It was SO GOOD! It made ME CRY! And, very little makes me cry. I didn't expect ANYTHING with Adam Sandler in it to make me cry. But it did. And I did. It was good. So, we had fun there. And lots of laughs, and plans to go see Step Up when it comes up.
I'm workin up the nerve. I will not wuss out. I promise myself. And some of you too. I will be okay.
In Summary:
1) Remember the soldiers.
2) Cook for you parents.
3) Make homeade ice cream and let me have lots of it.
4) Go see Click.
5) And push me out of my comfort zone.
Thank you, flyingspatulas and crayongoddess for the whole number/label thing. It's a good way to finish, and make sure I maybe, actually, possibly (1,2,3) accomplished something with my posts! Maybe. If we're lucky.
Shutting up now.
