Well for 4th of July, there is a family that hosts a party for the whole church every year, so we go to that. I am blessed with church family.

OH, I was just about to post this question. I'll come up with my answer later. But to add to the question, would the fact that you're single change your vacation plans or prevent you from going to places that you'd like to go because you're single?
I'm also on my way to my vaca in two weeks, and I need some ideas to do.

I average about twenty six hours sleep in a work week. Holidays I just turn the alarm clock off and wake up when God tells me to.

I've worked a normal day today - and am really doing nothing tonight different at all. IF the family situation were different, I would be out with friends.

I spent the day watching the Twilight Zone marathon on the SciFi channel. Now that's my idea of a great holiday/day off!

I spent the holiday tearing up my kitchen floor so I can lay down a new one. It is more time consuming than I thought. I'll probably spend the next couple of weeks fixing up my house before I move. I usually spend holidays working around the house...or at work.

I'll be heading out soon to the usual spot to watch a fireworks display. I've been taking my mother for years. It's become a tradition for us. Traditions are good.

I went up north to see my family. Arrived here very late last night. Woke up and went swimming before breakfast. Spent the day at my sister's and then went to watch fireworks with the Girl and my niece and her beau.
Tomorrow we go further up north to see my grandma. I've not been up there in 4 years or more. So I need to go see her, and take some pictures of he town so I don't forget

I did a whole lot of nothing today. Helped my friends unload their van after house-sitting. Checked on my other friend's cat. Got my computer mostly up and running. (Yay!) Sat on my hands to keep myself from calling customers I need to check on before I left for my trip.
Now am staying up way too late watching bad TV and locating jewelry for my trip ...

The family got together, went to the city's celebration, and ate hotdogs. Then we returned home and played Star Wars Trivial Pursuit and a game of Risk (I almost won for the first time in my life!!). After that, we sat around talking--lots and lots of laughter. Today was one of the best Fourth's that I've had a while.
Today is pretty much indicative of how my family usually spends holidays (minus the city celebration and hotdogs). We enjoy being together.

Well, we had the party, and it was pretty nice. I didn't feel too out of place, but I did get my feelings hurt. I was talking to this couple that are always really nice to me, and are hispanic. The husband works outside alot, and he was showing me how tan he was getting on his legs (I know that sounds bad in print, but it wasn't, he was wearing shorts, and his wife was right there), and I said even his not tan ankle was darker than my skin. And I thought they were just going to chuckle, or say, not to worry, and point out some attractive feature I DID have (I do have some, even if I am miss paleness), and the wife said, "Yeah, look at your leg,it's as white as the chair." Yes, I was sitting in a white chair. I was really really hurt.   And I wasn't wearing shorts, just capri pants.

I simply can't bear to reprint what the wife said.
I think that remark was quite insensitive.
Maybe they didn't realise how hurtful it was, because English (I assume) isn't their native language.

I had an exciting holiday. I slept, watched tv (histoty channel series on the Revolution) and vegged.
I did go to the fireworks Thursday night with my daughter. XH has her for this holiday.
It is actually nice to chill and not do anything productive now and then.
