Random stuff...

I drove home today (yes, again) for the 4th. I think the trucks on 316 and 285 are out to get me. Seriously, maybe they should learn that you're not supposed to stay on top of the line down the center of the road-- it isn't like a drunk test. Oh, well, I'm safe. Until the next trip gives me more life-threatening experiences.

Tomorrow should be good--this is the one holiday that Ray's family does a lot for that we don't, so it's fun to have a whole day with them--swimming, eating, and of course fireworks!

I'm watching Mythbusters right now. This is the best show... I learn so much. Life lesson of the day: If you drive a truck leave the tailgate up to save gas. Oh, yeah, and don't follow Bugs Bunny and stick your finger down the barrel of a gun to stop the bullet. It doesn't work.

I brought home my first load of stuff from my apartment today. Eight trips up and down steps just at home. Who needs a gym when you're moving? Now I just have to sort through all my clothes. Yay.

It's about to storm again. Have I mentioned that sudden afternoon storms are my favorite things about summer? I'm loving it!

I'm headed to a party on Saturday for a friend that's leaving for Africa for two years. It'll be great, but it's sad to see friends go. I get jealous sometimes of the people who leave like that for years (or even months) because I love to travel and see new places and I haven't really done that a lot, but I know long trips aren't really my thing. It takes me awhile to get used to places. I can dive right in if I know there's a short amount of time, but long-term missions, vacations, or even work trips aren't for me. And I think one of the motivating factors for me doing something like that would be to tell people that I travel frequently, and that's silly. Silly Anna. Oh, well, adventures will come wherever I am (maybe on my next trip down 316?).

Don't forget to celebrate the 4th and remember the soldiers who are willing to fight for us and our country. They are heroes. Give them the honor they deserve!
