Ultimate Coffee Date
Hellooooooo! Once again it’s the first Friday of the month (that was fast!) so I’m linking up with Deborah and Coco for the Ultimate Coffee Date. If we were having coffee together, I would tell you… … that I’m feeling a little melancholy. I think it’s FOMO from not doing a 4th of July race. My husband decided to run a 5K at the last minute, and I considered it…. but my calf is still a little fragile. I decided to skip it, but then felt sad. Sigh I did go for a walk, and then went to the gym with my son. That was good, but “4th of July Gym Day” just doesn’t have the same feel as “4th of July 5K.” I tried to rally with a festive dinner- Impossible burgers for my husband and son, and sweet potato burgers for my daughter and me. It was fun, and yes those are 4th of July crackers on the table! They turned out to be the worst crackers in the world, though. They had little slips of paper with jokes on them, and mine were in french. When I complained, my daughter said “Well, some people speak french!” Yes, but these are obviously 4th of July crackers, to celebrate our country’s birthday. I don’t think it’s too much to ask that my jokes be in english. Speaking of our country…. I’ve decided to pretend I’m an alien from another planet, here to objectively observe the upcoming election. It’s so funny! These Americans have such strange voting customs! Look at these candidates! I can’t wait to see how this debacle plays out. Luckily I’ll be going back to my home planet afterwards, so I don’t have to deal with the fallout. Oh. Wait…. And now I’m finishing up the night watching fireworks through my living room window while the cats hide under the bed. Bombs bursting in air! Did you celebrate the 4th? Did you make a some fun food? Run a race? Did you watch fireworks? Top photo by Paul Weaver on Unsplash
