Land of the Free (falling) and the Home of the Rave

Hey blogland! I hope everyone had a great holiday.  I can't wait to share my 4th of July roundup later (because I know the world wants to know how much beer I drank. Hint: a lot).

Anywhoo, I have been offline for the past several days while we had guests in town and while we were getting our summer on. This morning I had a lot of catching up to do.  I got the internets fired up and lo and behold -- this is the first thing I see.

(in case it isn't clear, the red banner reads: Watch Live: Lindsay Lohan appears in court for a probation hearing)

I don't know if BP got that little situation in the Gulf of Mexico taken care of or what the heck is going on with the troops in Afghanistan, but I know exactly what Lindsay Lohan is doing at this very moment. God bless America! Some things never change.

In other bad news, the symbol now known as Prince is predicting the end of the world wide web. 

"The internet's completely over. . .The internet's like MTV. At one time MTV was hip and suddenly it became outdated. Anyway, all these computers and digital gadgets are no good."

Sorry bloggers. You no good. So says Prince. I am donning my raspberry beret and having a moment of silence to say good-bye to my BFF, the WWW.

Read more: here.

UPDATE:  I don't know how Prince could find fault with the awesome machine that allows me to watch streaming court hearings involving Lilo making lame excuses for her drunk ass. Oh, and my free legal advice to Lindsay:  It is not a good idea to give the judge (who determines if you go to the pokey) your best Mean Girls bitch face for 4 hours. Just a thought.

Crazy doesn't take a Holiday

I know it is not quite the 4th of July, but I like to start the party early.  Is it ok to have a mojito at 9am? I kid. I am only having a Coor's Light. I am getting ready for the big holiday in a big way. We are having company and my little community's population explodes over this big weekend.  It is insane! If I don't come back by Tuesday, call the cops because that means my pontoon adventure went south.

The 4th (of course) is the grand Pooh-Bah of summer, but there are so many events (most FREE) over the course of the season that sometimes it is hard to remember that you are not on permanent vacation.

This is what we have been up to:

FRISCO BBQ CHALLENGE: 35,000 attend!

Above is our local OCD guy. He travels around our entire county either on foot or via our free bus system. He avoids breaking his mama's back by stepping over the cracks. Matt and I saw him on the interstate the other day.

Me:  Holy crap! What is OCD doing on the interstate? He is going to get killed.
Matt: He is on vacation.
Me: ?????
Matt: No cracks on the highway. He just wanted a nice relaxing walk.
Me: You are demented.

We have also been hiking (nothing too crazy because of my ankle). These shots are from Cataract Lake.

And dont forget the TIKI Bar. I love me some TIKI action.

This is my friend Elizabeth. She had her car worked on that day. She invited the mechanic to come along (the guy next to her). She is friendly like that.

Colleen did not bring her mechanic.

I LIVE IN PARADISE (in the summer).

HOPE YOU HAVE A SPECTACULAR 4th of JULY!!!!!
