HAPPY HAPPY

Once again we're getting ready to celebrate "the fourth."  Instead of me shooting off the fireworks, the sky is producing a beautiful array of "sparklers" and loud noise with them.

Will I get to go to the barbeque? I doubt it.  Weather is a determiner and it's just not fun grilling in the rain.  Of course there's always P.T. Bones.

Getting up today was hard.  My husband doesn't have to work, but I do.  Frying hamburgers for a living and doing it for a "get together" is like a busman's holiday.  I hate cooking.  I smell of grease and smoke.  Our establishment is the only one in this area that still allows smoking.  Stale, thick, heavy smells linger on my clothing and in my hair.  I scrub and scrub, but it never leaves.  When am I going to leave this place?

I'm almost through with my schooling.  I'll be able to arrange my work schedule with my school schedule this semester.  I can hardly wait to start working.  I even already have a job.  Laura's House of Hair.  It's a cute shop and Laura and I have been friends all our lives, even before we were born.  It's neat how we've been able to "grow up together" and all our escapades.  She is such a part of my life; we're more like twins.  I can finish her sentences and she knows my thoughts even before I say them.  That is soooo totally neat.

As I was running to the car, the woman in front of me was hit by lightening.  Oh my.  It's Laura.
