Happy 4th of July!
Fourth of July is one of my favorite holidays. The food is always so yummy and the fireworks never cease to delight me. I had a great weekend's worth of celebrating. I spent Saturday cooking out with some of my favorite people, but was too busy grazing all day to take any pictures of the food, save for that cupcake up there (a vanilla cupcake with butter cream frosting from Vegan Cupcakes Take Over the World; the "true red" food dye? NOT SO TRUE RED).
On Sunday, my mom and I went to see the BSO and a fireworks show at Oregon Ridge. Combining the BSO and fireworks is a brilliant idea, the weather wasn't awful, and the company was great!
Ironically, I didn't do a whole lot of celebrating today, because I spent the day making up for a weekend of generally slacking off. Like a good doobie, I went to the gym, did my grocery shopping (note to self: go shopping mid-afternoon on a holiday whenever possible to minimize dealing with other people), and did homework ad nauseam.
C'est la vie.
Luckily, the weather was tolerable, so my puppy and I took a nice walk this evening!

Your blog caught my attention right off the bat, because I spent a summer in Baltimore (as a missionary working with youth) and I absolutely adore that city. I have been wanting to return for ages. (well, for two years, ever since I left :) Anyways, great shots of fireworks and your job sounds amazing :) also, that cupcake doesn't look half bad :)
ReplyDeleteIt's always great to hear positive experiences in Baltimore! What area were you in? My job is pretty cool; my students keep me on my toes. And I promise, the cupcake tastes fantastic! :]
