Happy Fourth of July!

Wow. I've never done so much of nothing for the Fourth of July - slept late, showered, went to eat, took a nap, cleaned a bit, and then vegged in the evening. We thought about walking to our community park where they shoot off fireworks, but it's been drizzling and lightening off and on. We did walk outside with the dogs, though. I think they were more excited about being in the street in front of the house. Fortunately, we have a great view of the fireworks from our back patio, so we stood in the doorway (it was raining by this time) and watched the show.

Last weekend we visited my folks long enough to ride in a 10 mile 4th of July bike race. It was pretty fun, but I'd rather run races than bike them. Biking isn't my strongest sport. My sit bones definitely felt it later. Didn't help that all I own is a mountain bike.

** Three years later I'm adding this note to say that I was pregnant when I wrote this original blog entry. We told my parents that weekend. :) 8/9/2009
