Meh, when the kids were younger we would go watch them. Now, I could care less, but some still really enjoy the celebration, and that's fine with me.

You could always ask for forgiveness, instead of permission. After all, you ARE prego.
Here it is the admins every few months. Never had an issue with it getting full. Walked by a couple of fridges this morning that had signs that they would be cleaned out on the 11th.
We took it out Tuesday night for early Wednesday pickup. We also checked for mail on Wednesday. We don't have the mental focus on actual holiday days (we will have our gathering on Saturday...), so we keep forgetting!I started to take the garbage out this morning.
I had my own little dorm fridge in my office, but back in the day when I was in an office with lots of people sharing, they had sticky tags right next to the fridge, and a sharpie. No excuses. If a supervisor saw unlabeled food, it went in the trash immediately. You learned really fast to take a couple of seconds and initial/date a sticky tag & put it on your container.
We enjoy them and go to a small (200ish people) private show (they own a quarry and can get pretty much anything. One of their sons designs the show coordinated to music) on the 3rd. The 4th is much more of a chill day for us. MrsWx likes to entertain and have people over and we have an annual 4th of July party that is usually before the fireworks on the 3rd but due to work we moved it to yesterday. We watched the fireworks downtown on TV.
We enjoy them but CR made them illegal to shoot off this year so between that and the kids sleeping I passed on doing any this year and gave a couple of leftovers to a friend with some older kids. Everybody has their thing to get their jimmies. Some drink a lot...I think that is dumb. Some people think I am dumb for what I spend on flying (which is very little but the price per hour is obviously high). We all have our own thing and can live our own lives.
I bring my lunch everyday and just keep it in a lunch box with a ice pack. #CoolStoryBro
Welp, we're back from Colorado, today is my first day back to work.
God, I love Colorado. Other than the first seven years of my life (Mississippi and Utah) I've lived in the Midwest my entire life. Mountains. Holy Hell. Mountains. And no mosquitoes! I didn't want to drive back home.
As far as the Sparkler Junior 14U Open Division goes: Daughter played very well, but team was up and down. Won our first three games (teams were bad though), lost our last three games. 3-1 in pool play, placed into the Gold tournament bracket, lost our first two bracket games. Coaches pitched someone else the first game for some reason, and we got crushed 11-1 by a Texas Glory team.
DD pitched the second game, which we lost 2-1 to a Utah Fastpitch team. DD went 2-for-3 that game. Unfortunately, our team couldn't hit-- we had 11 strikeouts. And their pitcher wasn't nearly as good as DD. Sadly, I think we've gone about as far as we can go with this team. I love the girls, I love the parents, but their goals aren't the same as DD's. You could see the attitudes got worse the longer the week went on. When we got to the last bracket game, the team was lifeless, you could tell they didn't want to be there.
Got back home this week and already lined up two tryouts to programs that are playing better competition (both programs get berths in the Boulder IDT tournament, and have won bids to Huntington Beach PGF Premier nationals-- this is the very best competition, where most girls are signing with Power 5 softball programs). First team offered her on the spot Tuesday night. Second tryout is tonight, we'll see how shes does.

The office fridge at my work gets cleaned out once a week, so don't leave the wife's tupperware in there or it's gone. We do have a counter in our kitchenette here at work that it is generally accepted that if there is something placed there it is up for grabs, in fact I got some banana pie this morning from there.
they do a purge once a month. I could see if it's still there tomorrow. If it's there tomorrow, it's fair game. I think it's fair game now though cause everyone was off yesterday and it wasn't there Tuesday. So that means someone purposely brought it in today. To me that indicates leftovers. Those usually end up at the desk outside my office so I'll keep my eye on it.
Coming soon The Twelve Commandments, The Eight Samurai, Fast and Furious XXII, Return to Casablanca, Alien vs. Something VI, Terminator Bride, and Son of Jaws.
Anyone up for a Go Fund Me to buy CG some damn cake? Good cake, not chocolate stuff.
By the sounds of it, she might as well go home because she’s not doing anything but stalking that cake.
That reminds me, garbage pickup will be delayed a day due to the 4th so I don't need to put mine out tomorrow morning. Hopefully I can get the back yard mowed and bagged so I can put all that out Saturday and not have bags of grass in the garage all week,I started to take the garbage out this morning.
