1. A month or so ago, someone set a few off. Sadly, they are no longer illegal in this state- anyone can purchase them and blow their own hands off or set fire to the neighborhood.

2. Hibernating. Fireworks and I do not get along. It has not been pleasant around here this summer (first summer they were not illegal for the general public to purchase) and although I would be prepared for it... you can't always prepare yourself. I'll be staying home, trying to keep myself and my dog calm. I foresee a ton of xanax headed my way tomorrow. Focusing on Merlin, and trying to keep him calm will help too. Gives me something to focus on. Will be grilling during the day though and probably break out To Try Men's Souls by Forstchen and Gingrich (say what you want about the man politically, he is an excellent novelist- if only that had been his only career path) and begin reading- typically I read the second book Valley Forge first.

3. I do enjoy deviled eggs- without any mayo- I use a combination of several mustards and minced garlic to mix the yolk in. I am also far more liberal with the paprika than most appreciate.

1. New Year's Eve. Over Boston Harbor.

2. Going to a couple of parties.

3. Love them!

1. About a month ago, during the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations. I doubt I'll see more than the odd one again until the run-up to Guy Fawkes Night (5 Nov) and then there'll be another lull until the New Year celebrations.

2. Drudgery, mostly. The weather forecast is (yet again) terrible, so I may not even be able to go for my accustomed walk in the evening.

3. They're okay, but I don't have strong feelings. They're not that common in the UK anyway: Scotch eggs tend to take their place.

seconded. :))

1. Midnight on New Year's Eve/Day, I believe.

2. Picking up our CSA. Hopefully going to the festival in Old Town. Possibly grocery shopping. Watching the fireworks.

3. Love them! My mom makes the best.

1. Oh...last fourth of July, I think? I remember seeing them at a distance.

2. Working. I work every holiday I can (time and a half/holiday pay, baybee!)

3. Oh god NO NO NO NO NO

1. Do not remember
2. home projects
3. w/ gas ex I do

1) Last 4th of July from our attic window. We were happy that this new house provided a distant but good view so that our tiny 6 month old babies could sleep in their cribs while we enjoyed the show!

2) Making a red-white-blue cake with The Godfather's little girls, having a nice breakfast, playing in the newly fenced yard with the kiddie pools and sprinklers. Having a gathering and cooking out. You know. The holiday. ;)

3) Allergic to eggs! But they smell intriguing.

1. New Year's
2. Packing boxes
3. They're OK.

1: Last year...I think it was around this same time. :)

2: We're going to the local college where an orchestra will be playing while they shoot off fireworks and there's going to be cookout. It should be fun albeit hot.

3: I LOOOOOOOOOOOVE deviled eggs!

1. Two nights ago when my neighbor set off a few.

2. As little as possible, but plans do include retouching my hair color, soaking my feet to do a home pedicure, and organizing my new clothes into the closet.

3. Yes, if they are done properly.

1. New Years Eve.
2. Hanging out with my sister and some of her friends. Lots of kids, BBQ and sparklers. And nothing to clean up at my house :x
3. Yes.

1. Intentionally? No idea. Probably a couple 4ths ago.
2. Sleeping, I hope.
3. Not really. Which figures, because my mother makes great ones.

1. Last 4th
2. My family beach house
3. Love them!

1. When was the last time you saw fireworks?

Actually saw them in person? OH GOD, that was AGES ago now.


2. What are you doing tomorrow?

Lunch with the family--the WHOLE family that is here--er, most of them--LOL! My parents, my bro and his wife, my niece and her shit face boyfriend and HER two daughters. Too many people!!! I will escape with Blue to my room after we eat. ;-)

3. Do you like Deviled Eggs?

LOVE THEM--well, I love how my mom makes them anyway--this year though my sis-in-law is doing them. We will see after tomorrow if I love hers or not. ;-)

1. about 5 minutes ago. neighbors, front yard. Organized? The last July 4th we were together (2005), my ex and I went w/his sister, mom and sister's kiddos to a display in Marble Falls.

It was a lovely day. :) I miss 'em all.

2. Working. Woo.

3. yes. ohh yes. :)

Saw? Last night
Heard? within the past hour
Some people cannot wait for the proper day, it seems...

Last Friday night over Coors Field.

Hydrating. Napping. Gardening.

So. Much.

When was the last time you saw fireworks?

For the Jubilee

2. What are you doing tomorrow?

Um - Thursday - well, will it rain again?

3. Do you like Deviled Eggs?

Is that the same thing as curried eggs? If so, yes - but the curry must be made from scratch, not form commercial powder

1) Three weeks ago - light and fire show on the Pont du Gard in France. Fantastic!

2) Work. Clean the house.

3) no idea what that is.

1) I saw them for sale all over the place this trip I was on the last 4 days. I last saw them go off on New Year's Eve.
2) Tomorrow now, going back to work. Tomorrow when you asked it (today) unpacking and fixing broken toilets.
3) Yes.

I saw a few over the treetops last night as I drove home from karate. I'll see the big town display Sunday.

Tomorrow (Friday) I'll be doing stuff around home until it's time to go assist at the dojo for two hours.

I LOVE deviled eggs. Unfortunately, I popped an egg allergy in my mid-twenties, and now cannot eat them. I yearn, though, oh yes I do.
