As one of the BEST holidays draws ever closer (1 more day) my preparations for the day are in overdrive. Over the past week I've been collecting things to make this holiday fun. A few flags to decorate the front of the house, $3 flag shirts, bubbles, activities with friends and fireworks.
Oh wait. I was wrong.
Can't check fireworks off the list. Not that I don't want them and not because we are going to pay any attention to the crazy HOA lady.
We don't have fireworks because Larry isn't satisfied.
Yesterday he came home from stopping at a few of the rusty, tin can shops empty handed.
His reply was..."Nobody would bargain with me yet. So I'll wait another day."
Say what? Won't they all be gone? Especially the good ones. Like the rolling tanks and the chickens that lay eggs. The pyro inside of me just itching to get out!!
Well while Larry is firm on getting the best deal possible, don't be surprised to find us celebrating our 4th of July with 4 sparklers, a handful of snap-its and some steel wool.
Maybe I'll have to change our 4th of July plans. No more Happy Birthday America, no more Red/White & True Blue, no more USA rocks.
Without fireworks it will be more of a "Redneck Heat-induced Coma BBQ".
(if you catch my drift...HONEY!)

let's get a date on the calendar to play this weekend or next week!!
You are so bad! But all is fair in love, war and fireworks.
The tanks and chickens are some of our favorites too! Hope he eventually found someone that would haggle with him. I didn't even know that prices for fireworks were negotiable! Glad that you didn't let the crazy HOA lady ruin the fun...now I just hope you found a way to deal with cheap (in a nice frugal way) hubby! Hey I met someone that knows your family really well. She was friends with Joel. Her name is Rachel and her family lived in thousand oaks. They are our new neighbors. Crazy small world. I think her maiden name is Dunnington or something like that. (that;s her oldest sons name and I think she named him after her maiden name...could be wrong).
