Fourth of July QOTD

I love love LOVE parades, and I love fireworks even more. I don't know why but I get teary at both.... especially when the FD bands play with the bagpipes and xylophones. Fireworks make me feel like a little girl again!



ohhh and I should mention, I love the food too....

FOOD! I am such a foodie. . .this is an excuse to pig out (but not too much) on BBQ!!!

Fireworks often freak me out for some odd reason. Whenever I play a 4th of July orchestra pops gig (which I'm not doing this year because it's too close to my wedding) and have to sit through a fireworks display afterwards, I have to muster up all of my courage not to go screaming into the crowd!!!

This is the first time in years I'm missing the Disneyland fireworks that's usually my favorite part. It's about a 20-25 minute Independence Day display of fireworks followed by the usual 20 minute display and they just go 'balls out' as a coworker used to describe it. Last year I watched from the Sun Wheel overlooking the water, the year before from the roof of Tower of Terror, the year before that I got stuck working like 16 hours as a special event lead and I was near the castle waiting taking bets on what the pyro fallout was going to burn first

I'm sad without it this year though, I was watching pyro sequences on youtube two days ago and explaining things to FH and he doesn't give a rat's...

I sound like Eeyore. Guess that's what you get for sitting home on the 4th by yourself. I spammed the main board with wedding porn, now I'm heading out to get my bike fixed.

1) it's our 'official, we're not seeing anyone anniversary'

2) FH proposed last year on our 1 year anniversary-so the 4th of July will always be the most special!
