It’s July 4th here in the good old U.S.A., and we celebrate our nations birth by watching fireworks, gorging ourselves on hot dogs, drinking prodigious amounts of beer (Or in my case, Diet Coke) and in some cases taking long, arduous drives to very crowded beaches. Personally I’m going to sit by the pool and read my Lucia books (2 new ones written long after Benson’s death) on my Kindle for iPad. Or sit on the sofa and read in the AC. Maybe have a glass of Two Buck Chuck, sniff around the perfume stash and generally hope that nobody asks me to do anything.
If you’re in the States, I hope you have a lovely day off. If you’re not, I hope you have a lovely Friday. Grab a brewski and a corn dog and your favorite scent and listen to “Born in the U.S.A..”
Also, I want to write how much I appreciate you all reading and commenting. Honestly, I think I’d go stark-staring bonkers if I wasn’t able to do this. Sometimes workload makes it impossible to respond to your comments but I read them and appreciate them.

I worked the morning shift this 4th! Yea for time and a half!!!So 9:30- what ended up being 4pm then I shopped a bit and headed home for some backyard BBQ and a bit of playing with the soon to be niece and nephew ( going on 1st grade and pre Kindergarten ) . Did the proper Perfumista Aunt thing and passed Nayeli a small set of the BBW Be Enchanted as it smells too much like citrus and those cheap candy necklaces that when you are 5- it's cool to wear ( and presumably smell like) thirty years later (for myself at least) it feels odd. As if I should be in a line that states " you must be ------ high to go on this ride" timewarpy weirdness . Pass candy scent on to the little one let her treasure it,and let me make a bit of space for the package on its way ! Glad you all seem to be having good 4ths too! And that your birthday went well Tom! Note to self , must go snoop the library for Mapp and Lucia- I don't think I've ever heard of them.
