I'm still new to blogging so this is my attempt at catching up on the past few days. Well my family had our fireworks "get together" Thursday. Started out pretty busy trying to clean house and go pick up my Mother's dogs to bring out to the house for the day. She has my dog "her dog" which is a Fox Terrier and Chihuahua mix named Oreo for the black and white coloring on her head.
Then there is Mimzy,also a chihuahua and Annabelle. A bucktooth wiener dog.Were all pretty sure she was born with some sort of disability. She tilts her head a lot and there is the huge overbite she has. The vet says everything is good and that she could be a little disabled but shes healthy.
My brother has been dating a new girl and so far we like her. She is very outgoing and fairly witty. Not so much as my Partner who gets along with her great and definitely gives her a run for her money when it comes to quick quips and sarcastic jokes. This is a picture of him that I took closer to when we first met a little over 2 years ago.
Everybody had a really good time. Just about had a close call, I guess you could say. My sister showed up which for most people wouldn't be a bad thing but I could write a small book on here about that whole situation. In a nutshell for the past ten years she has been on me about being gay and going to hell and a couple months ago I was finally fed up enough to just say I'm done with you, never speak to me again. It's kind of sad that it has come to that but after ten years of dealing with someone who only sees you as gay enough is enough. She comes in the door and starts to walk over for her usual greeting hug. I turned her away for the second time now. I have to say it actually felt really good to not let her have her way and allow her to hug me as if nothing over the past years has never happened. As if my feelings have never been hurt by her. Not once an apology just preaching. I'm all for religion and have my own beliefs and am still figuring out different things that I do really believe in and am not just jumping on the band wagon with. I might sound like a dick but seriously ten years is too long to put up with intervention after intervention.Alright, moving on...
Wish I had some video but I didn't even use my camera that much. We had some really good fireworks. I bought a bunch of the "cakes" the boxes that have multiple shots in them. All were very good. Of course there is the redneck in me that bought four boxes of salutes. Which this year were called Gangsta Blast. These are very very loud and thats it, no color, just a flash of light that turns the area daylight for a moment and then an ear ringing BOOM. My dad had a black powder gun that he stuffed with something like 200 grams of powder and shot off. That one actually hurt my ears, and I'm pretty sure his shoulder.
Went out with the huzbear last night and caught a showing of The Last Airbender. I'm a huge fan of the animated series so I wanted to check out the movie. It was good for what it was. They changed the pronunciation of a few of the characters and crammed the first season into an hour and a half. The special effects were pretty neat. We were forced to watch it in 3D and ended up only about half the movie if that had any 3D to be seen. Over all it was good but not worth the $3 up charge for 3D. We headed to a local mexican restaurant called The Purple Burrito and had taco salads. It was our first time eating there and the food was really good. We'll probably end up there again sometime this weekend. The only thing purple in the whole joint is a couple walls. I was hoping for purple tortillas or something but nope, just the walls. We did our normally running around and wasting of gas asking each other "what ya wanna do"..."I dunno, what you wanna do". We ended up at the mall looking for pride gear at the Hot Topic. Not too much happened really the rest of the night. The power steering pump on my car, I think, started going out last night when we left the mall so that was disappointing.
Now I'm just goofing on the computer and looking forward to a fireworks and air show tomorrow put on by one of the mega churches in the area.
What did you do for
4th of July weekend?
