  today was my sister's "4th of July" party on the 3rd, because her and her husband have something better to do than hang out with family tomorrow.. :) it was fun.. we ended up dancing to "chain of fools" in her living room. this has become a staple in the visit, especially when my 19-month-old niece Hanna "dirty brown" is around. i'm still trying to teach her to shimmy.. she's got the bent knee thing going on and the jive part.. damn she's cute. she's ALMOST got rhythm. on the outs.. i took some sinus relief to kill a headache that i had, then made the fatal mistake of eating some jell-o shooters and drinking a giant margarita or as jen affectionately refers to them "marges. " i worry about her. she likes to drink.
