  To start, my brother didn't hit my mom with a firework. It was my dad. And second the mortars were awesome! Granted there were some which didn't go as nicely, some that only had silver and gold crackles, but the rest were great. My brother even picked some up specially for me. Tiny little mortars about the size of a grape.
They went pretty high up and had a lot of bang for the buck. Very cute! Other than the $1000 worth of fireworks it was a pretty normal get together. We ate a lot, they drank a lot, and the fire was going for about three days straight (thanx to some tree trunks they all lugged down to the fire pit). So, we're back to the normality of the city. And again searching for the ever elusive bed. I think we may have struck pay dirt yesterday.
King size, very comfortable, for about $1000. For all you UKers a king size in America is much bigger than a king size in the UK. So lots of elbow room. Then there are the jobs. Well, I had an email from a company I applied with (Assistant Editor) but Yahoo! kicked it as having a virus so I've had to contact the company and am now awaiting any news they may have.
For all I know the email could have been telling me to bugger off. Bleh. Ok, that's it for me. Laters! Diane PS - Just to let you all know, because I'm sure you're all waiting with baited breath, we ordered our very own after I posted this. $899 for a king size plush pillow top bed to be delivered tomorrow. Let's just hope it comes!
