Merry 4th

I got up before Trish on the 4th -- she likes to sleep off the side-effects of her Benadryl -- & listened to Roxy Live: slow & gentle, sentimental. We went shopping in the morning for our big b-b-q as we had 92 buckadingdongs on our food stamp card. Trish & I both saw a bunch of cop cars in front of a house down the block. She thinks the dude was huffing paint.

We were going to eat lunch at Taco Treat, but they were closed, as was Pizza Pro, PJ's, & Wolfer's. We finally ordered a Domino's pizza, but Trish got all Cranky Bear over the pop: she wanted to get a 2-liter bottle, but I told her we already had a whole refrigerator full of the stuff from Albertson's. She did some cleaning around the house, but Brawny & Ryan canceled at the last minute, thogh Ed & Denise & Jeffer Auss all showed up. We decided to boil the hot dogs instead of b-b-q-uing them, as we didn't have enough people coming over. We also had my homemade macaroni salad chips, & baked beans. & then we had to sleep cuz we had no time to waste. Trish woke me up at 4:30 to take her Benadryl & I couldn't return to sleep, so I got up; it's currently around 6:00. I look forward to doing some more re-making/re-modeling of Skyfight today, though I also have Car-girl for awhile in the afternoon.
