Wow, I have done absolutely nothing all week long. I've been working, but not too often, and trying to get into better shape (trying being the key word). I've hung out with Chad maybe once, but he's out of town now for some family thing.
The 4th of July was pretty awesome, a huge group of people got together at the lake, where the whole town was out to celebrate, it seemed. There was a boat parade where the most adorable kids dressed up as their favorite movie characters (this was the year of Transformers, I guess. Only one of the costumes was any good, but the kids were still super cute!), then a kind of lame ski-jump show. The fireworks were amazing, a bunch of us went out onto the boat to watch them fire off from a wonderful viewpoint. Of course, large amounts of alcohol were consumed, but we were always good on the boat, we always had a designated boater.
Afterwards everyone hung out, Chad and the boys pulled out some sleeping bags, so a lot of us just passed out under the stars. I woke up pretty early the next morning, as the heat and humidity was already starting to get unbearable by 8 am. Luckily (I guess) I had to work for most of the day, so I was in the air conditioning at Brews Brothers. I had to keep slamming iced mochas to stay awake for most of the time, then basically crashed when I got home. I woke up around 4 in the morning to find that I had missed about 10 calls. Apparently everyone had gone out that night, and I missed it. I feel like I was there, though, with all the drunk messages I had.
Anyways, I need to go jog off all of the recent iced coffee drinks I've been having lately. It's so hard to turn down the chance to sample one of Wendell's latest creations. You'd think I'd learn my lesson by now, especially after the iced S'mores drink. It sounds delicious in theory, but whatever the hell he put into it did not work.

Fireworks
Heather's and my first date went really well. The movie theatre was closed that night because the air conditioning went out, so we just got ice cream and went for a walk. And talked. As usual, time flew by. I held Heather's hand and she seemed to get a little bit excited about it, so I took that as a good sign. And at the end of the night, I was just going to give her a kiss on the cheek -- I wanted to be gentlemanly about it -- but she kissed me! I like a girl who can make the first move.
We've both been really busy over the past week or so, but we've talked on the phone a lot, and I've seen her briefly at Brews Brothers a couple of mornings before work. I did ask her if she would be willing to go on a second date with me, and she said yes! As it turns out, since we're counting the last date as the first date, the dinner I cooked at my place with the flowers in the beer bottle vase wasn't a date, but that's okay. I'm still happy with the way things turned out.
I invited her to come out and spend the day with me tomorrow, and she agreed! It's supposed to be hot and sunny -- perfect weather for the lake on the fourth of July. There should be a few people around, what with Derek and Devon's lady friends and other random people who will be coming and going throughout the day. I know Brett and Ambrosia will be stopping by, and Dana and some other people. Heather is going to come late in the morning to watch the boat parade. Apparently everyone on the lake decorates their boats and dresses up their kids and grandkids and drives around slowly for everyone else to gawk at them, and then they give prizes out later. The theme is "Movie Magic" and the neighbor kids have Indian costumes. I'm pretty sure they're going to roast in the sun. They're having a ski show toward our end in the afternoon, so we probably won't even have to go anywhere to watch that, and then we'll go out in the boat for the amazing fireworks display at night. I'm really giddy to get to spend the day with Heather, I'd better be on my best behavior!
