Friend Makin' Monday!


Oh, I've really come to love this little weekly tradition started by the lovely Kasey at All That is Good (click here for the rules). She is away right now (and I hope she's having a great time so far!), so Shawn at SERIOUSLY was kind enough to host for her today.

With all of that said, here's my FMM.

What are you doing this July 4th?
Oh boy. Well, originally I was supposed to be with Derek, all happy and enjoying one another since it's been almost 4 months since we last were together. But alas, all of that changed and I'll now be here in California. The silver lining? My coworker Gina invited me to her little shindig at her place and I think I'll go. Generally speaking though, my house is right near the high school. Therefore, we're lucky and can watch the fireworks from my parents' patio. This is fantastic because a) fireworks are fun and b) we can watch them from the comfort of our own home, rather than risk getting trampled on by hyper, firework-loving children and unsuccessfully attempting to find a parking spot. At any rate, looking forward to Gina's partay.

What is your favorite dish to pass when attending a 4th of July party or summer barbecue?
Uh...I plan on bringing a bottle of some sort of alcohol? That's about as far as I go with this sort of thing, seeing as I don't cook. I need to start doing that though.

Do you have any 4th of July traditions?
Aside from fireworks? No. How lame am I today? Very.

Share your favorite July 4th picture.
Okay. So I've just been scouring my Facebook albums for a 4th of July picture and cannot find one! I'm embarrassed and ashamed. But I did find this picture that I uploaded on July 7th of 2007. And since I'm that girl that feels the need to upload her pictures almost immediately after their taken, I figure this photo's a good alternative. So here ya go.


That's me and Lauren in my apartment in college. She came down to visit me and we made Cosmos in my fabulous birthday glasses. Of which I got 2. From 2 different people. My friends know me too well.

Okay, off to read others' posts! Hooray for 4th of July.

I don't have traditions yet either, but that's what happens when you haven't been out of school very long. ;)

I live in NY...where did you grow up?

I hope you enjoy the holiday...I heart FMM too..;)

Aww, love that drink pic. Looks like you had such fun! Gina's party sounds like fun - I hope you enjoy and forget about the boy, well, at least temporarily. ;)Hope you are feeling better about that. I don't really have 4th traditions either, so don't feel bad. I'm not seeing my fam but spending time with Big Kiddo. Have a super week girlie!
