To all my fellow Americans, I hope that you all have a safe and happy 4th of July! Get out there and enjoy those fireworks displays and if you are going to be putting on your own little (or large) fireworks display then please remember to be careful and keep water and other fire fighting equipment close at hand.
The 4th of July has always been a time for getting together with friends and family, but this year things are a bit more laid back and it is just me and dad today. It is actually nice, even if I had been contemplating a large family 4th get together. Ended up that half the family will be working late, and I wasn't able to get the stuff I needed (hard to haul home the eggs needed for deviled eggs and potato salad on an ATV)
I suppose it is a good thing, too, since it is better for my diet not to be eating hot dogs and cake and cookies and all the other things that go with a 4th of July get-together. Otherwise I'd find myself on ephedrine or some other kind of dieting type pills rather than just trying to maintain my weight through willpower alone. Huh?
And the way I make potato salad is the way my mom made it, with lots of mayonnaise and other various things dumped into it. And I seem to only really know how to make it in large quantities, ::snicker::, so I know that I would end up eating thousands of calories over the next few days with eating it with a hot dog or two, then as snacks, midnight snacks, lunch and dinner on the 5th and so on.
So, better to just kick back, relax and enjoy the day. Maybe go out and work on my van, get it working right.
