We had friends over for July 4th, and we have too much leftover food to fit in the fridge. Couldn't decide whether to freeze it, but potato salad doesn't freeze.
I know, pretty bad. I was actually thinking to myself, Why am I watching this?? These broadcasts are not compelling entertainment in your own city, even on the best of days. I did learn a couple of things, though. And I was rooting for the townfolk who were voicing their concerns. It's also a good study of different personalities and how they deal with matters and put forth their arguments.
Lol, omg, I need a life.
I feel like I should give you a hug.

OK so here was our Fourth of July - which was actually perfect in a quiet sort of way:
First of all, I donned my favorite July 4 T shirt, which says, "Happy Treason Day, ungrateful Colonists" with the Union Jack flag on it. Then I made the grocery list because we were meeting some friends out at a local city park, and we were bringing guacamole and some chips and all that, supposedly to meet at around 6 pm to hang out and stuff our faces till the fireworks, which do tend to be excellent - but OMG the traffic!
Well, about 4 pm our friends message us and tell us that the husband still has a cold (which he had several days ago) but he should "be alright because we are going to be outside." OK. No. My husband has to leave for two weeks and the last thing he needs is a cold. And also, I just don't want one myself either.
But most importantly - hell, we didn't want to go hang out in the freaking Texas heat for four hours anyway, and fight traffic, and eat tons of terrible food.
So my husband and I decided to just stay ourselves AT THE HOUSE in the AC! Suddenly everything became hopeful and happy again! We stayed home, drank wine spritzers with fresh mint in them, and watched the History channel which had specials about all this cool stuff about the Revolutionary War - and we had a fantastic time!
Oh and I immediately took my bra off the very second we decided to stay home - and that always makes things better.
It was great, one of the best Fourths I've ever had in fact.
Not me, but my son and daughter-in-law. They have one of those fancy door knobs that can be unlocked using their phone. (even from across town) The only problem is that if left alone with door closed for too long it locks itself. Saturday evening they were in the yard playing with the kids, and forgot the door. They found themselves not only locked out, but all keys and their cell phones were INSIDE the house. While my son and grandson, waited at home DIL and granddaughter got a neighbor to drive them to my house (couldn't remember my phone #, it was in their phones LOL). I took them home and unlocked the door. First thing my son did when he got his phone, was to order a key rock for the yard. Glad I don't have such a smart door knob.
I went to pick up lunch. Mine: a chicken sandwich.
Them: Do you want cheese on that?
Me: Yes, please.
I get the food. Bring it home. Everything else as ordered. My sandwich? You guessed it. No cheese. Cheese wasn't even my idea. Did I get charged for it. Of course. Too hot out, 93°F versus cool and comfortable at home 72°F, and "oh, well, you can't win 'em all" to go up there and tell them about it.

So here I am. I've been cheese-swindled.
At least it would have been Kosher.
