Hoobily Joobily: Them's Some Fancy Explosions 

On the 4th we went over to Carrie's folks' place for a blunch-type of meal. Carrie's mum made a shrimp & cheese soup served in bread bowls, some baked pears with crystallized ginger, and some strawberry shortcake. There was also gonna be some quiche, but for some reason it just refused to bake and solidify. Carrie conjectured that perhaps she used too much liquid, but her mum swore she used the same amount she always used and had never had this problem before.

We came home and I showered, and then we went over to Linnea & Jay's for almost the rest of the day. Practically everybody from the Bead Factory showed up, and they almost all brought their significant others and any children they may have had. So it was quite a crowd for most of the day. There were four people named Chris there at once I believe.

It was a lot of fun, except at one point I started to feel nauseous and light-headed and all that, so I got a cupfull of ice and Linnea made me go upstairs and lie down for a bit. It made me all better, except that I completely lost my appetite after that for some reason.

Oh, also later on in the evening after most people had left to go on a tugboat (I s--t you not) someone cried out in alarm about the alarming amount of blood that was escaping from my heel. Apparently I had cut open the back of my heel just below my Achilles Tendon. Apparently I have absolutely no nerves in that part of my body, because I felt nothing. I went in and washed it off and Linnea dug up some Neo-Sporin for me, so everything was good baby (that Neo-Sporin didn't even sting or anything — no nerves to sting).

Much later in the evening, like approaching 10:00-ish, everybody remaining (except Geoff & Brandy, on account of Brandy equals having a little bit of a cold) went on up to Mark & Viki's house to watch them set off some real fireworks. That whole neighborhood goes nuts on the 4th. It was like watching an un-choreographed fireworks show that originated from many angles instead of just one.

You know, it's a shame that Jill, the new girl at the BF, just doesn't fit in.
