Jul. 4th, 2011 11:47 pmFour Things (The Quick 4th of July Edition):
1. I'm getting my tattoo on the 16th of July! My tattoo place is just a few blocks from my mom's, so while I was there this weekend we stopped in for a consultation/estimate and I made my appointment. It will be either a very belated graduation gift or a somewhat early birthday present to myself.
2. I was in a parade today! I got to drive a miniature horse cart. Which is both a smaller than usual horse cart and a cart pulled by smaller than usual horses. Oh my goodness, the minis are so precious. Really nice of my mom's client L to let me drive one of the carts. I always get a kick out of the parade down there, even more so actually being in it. :)
3. Baseball! Is a monumentally boring game in itself, but I do actually enjoy the whole experience of baseball games. And this one was exciting as baseball goes. Also there were fireworks at the end. My patriotism is a small and bitter thing that mostly takes the form of exasperation and social justice advocacy, but I can get behind some good explosions.
4. Weather! Still direly hot, and the entire state is still on fire. This is now the biggest fire in the history of New Mexico. But we seem to have progressed from the mid-June: You Will Never See Cloud Cover condition to the early-July: It is Raining and Not Hitting The Ground, and I have high hopes that we will soon reach mid-July: Daily Torrential Downpours. Goddess knows we need it.
