Independence Day

Long weekends are soooooooooooooo awesome! Chilled out at Chumley's last night with Gretchen's brother, then today we had a little 4th of July cookout at Tony and Meg's place. Johanna and I made all-american apple pie from scratch! Then we also helped Ilana make a patriotic flag cake and made the dog wear a patriotic bandanna. HAHA. Then we played Big Taboo and Catch Phrase, which was a lot of fun. ;)) I'd try to remember to post some pictures. Also, their neighbors set off like a ton of fireworks!!

And there's still two more days left to this awesome weekend! :))) I'd like to go shopping tomorrow if I can convince someone to go with me. Maybe drive to Indy or Chicago. Who knows? Anyway gas prices are down (a little) to $3.99. Goodie. With any luck it'd go back to being $2.99 again...... ;P

And I just learned today that Tony is the great great-grandson of Thomas Hobbes the philosopher. How cool is that? (Not like I actually know anything about Thomas Hobbes, but I do know that the tiger in Calvin & Hobbes was named after him)

The weather these couple of days has been SO PERFECT. Love summer, love school, love USA!
