Nothing says happy birthday America like a Miley Cyres Extravaganza (aka: Stadium of Fire), seriously people whatever happened to a BBQ, sparklers and armature pyrotechnics? So why was I there? Free Tickets and "family obligation"!
To recap the night for ya - to much traffic, no caffeine in the stadium (I quit diet coke so I don't know why this bugs me but it does), Glen Beck as the MC, F-16 fly over (only really cool part), men jump out of airplane with flags, blue man group plays, Miley pays badly FOREVER, kids get board and ask for her to stop so the fireworks can start, fireworks start, we are so close that hot ash is falling on us, Miley extravaganza ends, we sit in car for hour not moving waiting to get out of the parking lot. I don't get a hot dog or a sparkler, however we do camp out in the backyard and play Pinochle till 4am.
Brooklyn prior to the start~

Gavin in the am after camping in the back yard. He was very upset to wake up and find himself wearing his sisters pink pajamas.
Ok, so I am reading Cold Mountain (which I have not finished so don't ruin it) which has put me on a some what of a southern kick, thus I made fried chicken and it turned out ok for my first attempt.
The real reason for this post is to put up pictures of my new apron that Marsha (my mother) made me. I absolutely love my apron I come home from work and put it on just to pour cereal, I have very seriously considered wearing it work with a white t-shirt and jeans. I realize that this is a bad picture of me in the apron so I will take another and post it just to illustrate the cuteness of my fabulous apron. I am trying to convince my mom to make the aprons and sell them online!
