Well, we didn't celebrate Independence Day in our usual fashion this year. It was a pretty laid back affair this year...at least from our house. Russell works nights currently and his schedule is so weird. He works roughly 10pm-6am, so when he goes in at 10pm on Sunday, it's referred to as Monday. This works out nicely when he is scheduled to work holidays because he gets holiday pay, but is off around 6am on the holiday so he has most of the holiday free...minus sleep anyway!). Well, Russell was scheduled to work on the 4th of July, but we thought this would be perfect because he would get home at 6, sleep until noon or so and be ready for fireworks! But, because the 4th landed on a Monday this year, it was decided that the circle fireworks would be done on Sunday night since everyone had to work on Tuesday. And by that time, the day was full, so Russell couldn't take it off.
Unfortunately, Russell had to work that night, so he was pretty tame and had to leave before things got too crazy. Also, I wasn't feeling too well (I later went to the Dr. and had a sinus infection), so I didn't do a great job of representing my house...of course, that didn't stop me from drinking the bucket drink or dominating the Spoons table. :-)
Overall, it was a fun night, albeit on a smaller scale than past years, but it got me really excited for the annual circle party!!
