Hooray!!! It’s the Fourth of July!
I just read a sort of tongue-in-cheek (and somewhat inappropriate) list of supposedly über American things to do on July 4th. . . Since I didn’t appreciate the mocking tone all that much, I made my own personal July 4th to-do List, or, what I am calling
My “JULY FO[U]RTH!” List
– the 2012 Edition –
#1 – Sport the Old Glory colors however you can, or if all else fails, wear your best blue jeans!
#2 – Catch (figuratively) some fireworks! I just saw these beauties last night, and they were glorious!
#3- Sing our Anthem with your hand over your heart!
#4 – Attend a barbecue and, if you can manage it, have a slice of pie.
#5 – Buy something locally made.
#6 – Listen to F.U.N.’s new song “Some Nights“, followed by copious amounts of other patriotic music.
Then listen to “Some Nights” again.
#7 – Find a Parade and either watch or join!
#8 – Enjoy a themed beverage (If you’re over 21, that is…).
#9 – Get outside and Appreciate the sunshine!
0r if it’s not sunny for some reason, I will be sure to check the google doodle and do patriotic internet things (Any recommendations?)!
#10 – Enjoy a late-night showing of Captain America (aka my husband) on DVD to finish off the evening!
