I'm not one to lie to you, Reader. And I don't intend to start now. With that said, I would love to say that July 4th went off without a hitch, but that would not be the truth. There were a couple several many "hitches". So, I'll let you decide which of these three things did not happen.
1) I was tripped up by a small dog, that was off leash, fell in the park, and skinned my knees.
2) A husky that had just been taking a dip in the lake, approached me and shook lake water all over me.
3) Upon meeting my friend Natalie's dog, Geo, for the first time, he peed on me. Twice.

In truth, there were far more "hitches" and some that did not include dogs. So I'll continue the list:
4) I went to Molly's house with all of the ingredients to make brownies, only Molly didn't have a pan. And thus, we were not able to make brownies. Oh, and I forgot some of the food I had intended to bring with me.
5) Molly's Mama (who tried on three or four outfits before picking the perfect one) sat in a large amount of melted chocolate. The perfect outfit she had decided on included none other than White Shorts! (Insert another wardrobe change) We continued to find melted chocolate for the next couple of hours.
6) A dog peed on our cooler of food. And it's owner did nothing about it, except for telling us that the dog is "rough around the edges."
Even with all that went wrong, we made the best out of it. And I think that says a lot about all of us. We triumphed (after many "umphs"). We made the best of a bad situation (or situations). And we were rewarded. We were able to meet up with our friend Natalie, which is not always easy in huge crowds and we had amazing seats for the fireworks show. So, I'll put July 4th, 2013 in the win column.
And for those of you who are wondering, number 1 is the lie.
