Happy 4th of July!!

Well- It was mostly a relaxing 4th here. We got up late, we ate good food. We watched movies. We read. We folded clean laundry. I mean really, what can a person want more out of their 4th of July?

A clean Closet? Some Fireworks?

I cleaned out my closet of all the clothes that don't fit anymore. As you can see ---> over on the sidebar I am almost to my first Weight Watchers goal of 19 pounds. I hope I'll be there by next Wednesday. I knew I didn't want to talk much about it here on the blog, but I do have to say I am so happy! I now weigh less than I did when I got married. How exciting is that? I'll have some new goals next week and will post them so all of you who read the blog can keep an eye on me.

Anyway I just thought I'd share. There is a lot less clothes in my closet. There is still some time before the ones in there don't fit anymore. I saved a lot of my skinnier clothes along the way... well at least my favorites... in hopes that someday I would fit back into them and that someday looks to be fairly soon. At least by next summer!!

Oh - and Fireworks? Well I didn't want to go to the Capital (not a big crowd fan nor a traffic fan) especially since I don't have tomorrow off. So then we were going to go to a local high school but when we got there they had canceled due to the weather earlier in the day (we had terrible thunderstorms, with hail in some areas and a threat of tornadoes.)

So then when we were driving back we saw that from the highway near our house you could see fireworks so we decided to stop off at Trader Joe's Parking lot. And man, from there we could see all the fireworks from the area! We saw 10-11 different firework shows from the towns around us. Well actually - one of them, I swear, was on the Shenandoah mountains. You could just barely see these little itty bitty fireworks from atop a ridge in the distance.

So while I didn't get the true firework experience - and I didn't get any pictures for my blog - it was still pretty cool, especially when you would see the grand finales of several places at once. It was hard to tell which way to turn your head since they surrounded us.

Now it is time for bed. Would someone tell all the people in the apartments around us to stop firing firecrackers?

Happy Independence day!!
