Sunday was our friends’ annual party. We met our mutual friends at a local restaurant to grab a late lunch beforehand. I have to admit, every year I don’t really look forward to this party because no one does anything but drink and sit around and talk. And the majority of the people are Joe’s coworkers so they tend to gossip about people at work and I have nothing to add to the conversion. Plus, I prefer to do something, even if it’s play a game of some sort. Despite that, however, I had a good time because I do like these people! When it got dark I broke out the $1 neon bracelets I had picked up at Target and surprisingly, even the guys opted to wear them. We decided instead of standing outside my friends house like we usually do, we’d actually walk over to the nearby park to see our town’s Summerfest fireworks up close and personal. They were awesome! And no one lit firecrackers in their buttcrack like during previous years (although that same guy did get drunker than everyone else which he does every year).
