My fourth of July and a weekend recap.

Am I still an American if I've been sitting on my couch all fourth of July just watching TV? Kevin has been out and about having a boys day and the fact that I've had zero contact with the outside world doesn't make me sound like any less of a hermit either. After I got over my little stint of food poisoning, which was not fun, Kevin and I went out with friends on Friday night for dinner. Even though I wasn't feeling 100% and only ate half a baked potato, I went and ended up having a pretty good time.

Then on Saturday, we spent the afternoon at my parents for a family cook out which I'm glad to say included my uncle, who I haven't seen since my wedding, and my aunt, who I haven't seen since my sisters wedding. It's amazing how time flies! I'm so glad we were able to spend some much needed time with them while they were here.

It's turned out to be a busy weekend so I decided today I'd cuddle up on the couch with Bodie and finish season two of Dexter.


It's my new addiction. Now, if I can convince my brother to loan me season three, I might have to spend the next few weekends glued to my couch too. I swear I really do have a life... 

Welp, it's time for dinner, guess I'll microwave a hot dog.

Happy fourth of July everyone! :)

LOVEEEEEEEEEEEE Dexter. If I was still catching up that would have been my holiday too (which was Friday here). I'm so jealous you're only experiencing it now, I wish I could forget it all and watch it all over again like it was the first time. LOVE it.

LOL, you're no less American than I am since I haven't left the house (except for a quick trip to Trader Joes) all day either. We celebrated yesterday and I'm too lazy to do anything today. Enjoy your day relaxing on the couch.

Love, love, love Dexter! I can't wait for the new season to come out, as we finished watching all of the seasons really quickly! Have you seen the show Sons of Anarchy? We watched all of the seasons of that recently too...Jax isn't hard on the eyes ;)

Megan said...

I think that is totally American. Haha. And I am sticking with that because that is what I did most of today, too!!

ErinMSW said...

Yup, I did pretty much the same thing. I was outside for about an hour to throw some frisbee in our backyard with Matt and to watch the new fly trap we put up (seriously, it was fascinating). Other than that, I sat inside and watched movies. A few months ago, Matt and I completely devoured all 5 seasons of Dexter in about 3 months. Such a great show!

You know what... sometimes it's ok to be lazy. I was in bed last night by 9:30ish...

Dexter is so awesome. When we finally live in bunk beds together, we'll be sure to own all the seasons.

I hope you're still American because that's what I did! (sit inside all day and watch TV on the 4th of July, I mean)

I really hope you are still American! I spent my entire 4th of July weekend watching Weeds. So between my show and your show...we have quite an interesting combination. :-D

Katie said...

If it makes you feel better, I totally spent the entire weekend on the couch (pretty much)

And um...Dexter = my favorite!

Dancy said...

Everyone keeps telling us how we "HAVE" to watch Dexter. I think it's on Netflix right now, so I might get into it.
