Yesterday I was talking to one of my friends... I asked if she wanted to do anything Sunday. And she said, "You mean the Fourth of July?" I had totally forgotten about it. I usually forget about it unless there's a sale I want to take advantage of, or unless there's a huge outing planned... That's usually the extent of my Patriotic Activities. And hey, there's no better way to celebrate this country than to revel in its capitalistic glory for two whole days a year (the other day being Black Friday). Sometimes I go to see some fireworks, but only if a group of friends go. This year I'll probably go to the beach during the day, because it's supposed to be nice, and then I'm supposed to have a movie night. It's not 4th of July as much as it's a Sunday this year.
