What do you all have planned for the 4th? (Or if you're abroad, what do you have planned for the totally average non-holiday weekend?)

We're going to our town's celebration at a local park tomorrow. My dad wants to go to Costco to get ribs to BBQ, and I looked at him like . The last place I want to be on July 4th is near any establishment that sells meat. It's going to be MOBBED.

We're in the UK, so it's not a holiday weekend on Monday but we go on holiday for a week on Wednesday, so I'm only in Monday and Tuesday next week. The plan for the weekend is to clean the house and pack for our holiday. Not very exciting.

I have no idea. I believe we are getting my stepson tonight and going to see fireworks. We may also be going to a few barbeques.

Ribs sounds amazing though, yum! They've been my pregnancy craving pretty much the entire 9 months haha

We were supposed to BBQ and watch fireworks with friends, but I'm sick and they have a newborn, so we aren't bringing my germs over. Instead I'm drinking mug after mug of tea and staying in bed trying to get better.

Are you on holiday as in vacation, or holiday as in everything in the UK is closed?

I looooove me some ribs. I'm not generally a big meat eater, but ribs are a "yes" every time.

We are currently in the process of heading up to Venice, since the university closed up for the summer on Thursday. It's a six hour drive so its not too bad, but I can't wait to get on my boat and sleep.

Thanks! This cold came on hard and fast, so I'm hoping with some good solid days of rest and fluids I can be back to normal quickly. I don't know if it works that way, but I'm keeping optimistic!

It took me four days of nothing but sleep and orange juice to fully recover. I still have a lingering cough Here's to a quick and full recovery!!
