Last 4th of July I was getting ready to move to Hong Kong, grilling (veggie style) with the family, eating potato salad (oh how I miss you homemade potato salad), visiting with the McEntires, and seeing some friends for the last time before I headed off. This 4th was quite different, yet in someways the same. I am yet once again getting ready to move, only this time home. McEntire and I went to go see Die Hard this afternoon. I have to say, movies like that are typically American and I love it!!! You have the hero, a smart-alec, wise cracking, blue collar cop pitted against the smartest crooks...and he gets to destroy (ie blow up) A LOT of things. How can you not love that!!! And it Bruce Willis, come on!!! The man is just sexy! :) I won't say much more about the movie (I don't want to give it away) except that for someone who is missing home, it's so very American!!! Thumbs up in my book!
After that McEntire and I went to Dan Ryan's grill. Not as good as if I'd been home but they did have some pretty ok apple pie (yes we actually ate apple pie on the 4th...had to!)
Then we hurried back to the apt...McEntire had a workshop that he had to get to and I had a little running around to do. Tried to drop off the wash but the laundry lady was closed (don't know why) so got to bring all the laundry back to the apt., back up the 6 flight of stairs, drop it off and then head back to the MTR station to head to TST. I'm having Mr. Harry make me another pair of pants and two more shirts before I got home since I can't get cheap custom fitted clothing in the States (and he made me a great deal!). Then I hurried back so I could go jogging before the field closes at 10. Ugh! I hate that it closes so early but I love jogging there! :)
Most likely going to cap off the evening with Die Hard II (if I can rent it) and some pizza (to negate any good I might have done jogging).
All in all, not a bad 4th...but all things being the same I'd rather be in...(you know the rest) |
