Happy Independence Day!!

This picture was taken by me, of the flag at my house. Yeah, I took it last year, but still. At least I'm not using someone else's picture to make my own political statement, when it may or may not be appropriate. Whilst I would agree that the basic idea of today is to celebrate all things American, including the Right of Free Expression, it is also a day to remember that just because you have the Right to say something, doesn't mean you shouldn't pick a better time and place.

'Nuff said.

Today, TheHusband and I (well, mostly me) have invited ourselves over to the house of a friend of ours (whom I mention on this blog a lot, actually). He was recently broken up with (huh?) and is a bit broken hearted. Nothing he can't get over, but, you all remember the feeling, right? (SIDENOTE I never did like the other guy, shhhhh don't tell anyone!)

So, our friend has a pool. We'll bring the ribs (our friend LOVES the way I cook ribs), the corn-on-the-cob (insert gay-themed joke here), and the dessert (Red/White/Blue fruity whipped-creamy goodness). Someone needs to provide the Coronas. I have a Key Lime tree in the back yard, so I've got that covered, too.

I know, I know. Corona is a Mexican beer. I don't care. It's what I like with Lobster, All-You-Can-Eat Crab feasts, and holidays at the house.
