4th of July

So, the 4th of July is my favorite holiday and yesterday was a really great 4th of July for me! I ate my mother's potato salad and baked beans, swam, made a lot of jokes with random friends, watched fireworks (I love fireworks!!!), and saw Emily. Allie was with me all day and we did a whole lot of laughing. hehe. I love how random she is. :) My brother was getting on my last nerve though, but I decided that I was just in a bad mood as far as he's concerned. So I complained about him a little to a couple people and then got over it. Mark is Mark, all I can do is be the annoying little 5 year-old sister he still believes me to be. Afterall, I want to live up to expectations. grrrrrr.

On a lighter note, here are the things that make the 4th of July fabulous:

Family
Friends
Fun
Fireworks
Food
and...
Absolutely NO gift-giving!....Oh, AND....swimming. ;)

P.S. I've been moved to 6th grade Language Arts--regular and Pre-AP--with no 7th or 8th grade students at this point. yea! My classroom needs some major work, but I'm excited!

dearest alison,
i cant help but notice that all the fabulous things you liked about the 4th of July start with an 'f'....Family,Friends,Fun, Fireworks, and Food. What about those fiesty Firemen you were telling me about? you seem to have left the most scandalous part of your weekend off the list. ooooh the firemen! Friggin faboulous firemen!!!!
