Happy Friday, y’all! And happy Independence Day for those of you in the good ole USA. Happy watch a Will Smith movie for those of you not here! 🙂 Per usual, I’m linking up with Mar and Cynthia and we are all pretty pumped about the long weekend! Enjoy and make sure to link up your Friday Five post. You can read our linkup rules here. Please note that if you don’t play nicely, we will delete your link.
- I will be celebrating the 4th with my family. My grandfather is having a big birthday lunch in New Jersey so we’ll be heading north. The lunch is actually on the 5th, so I will be in the DC area on the 4th, but am not doing the big show on the National Mall. To compensate, I think I’ll watch the best 4th of July movie ever…
- Independence Day. I mean, it remains a classic. You’ll be watching it too, right?
- I’m kicking off the 4th by running nine miles w/my girl Julie (and Caitlin who is visiting from NC). We went to the hardest barre class EVER yesterday and I honestly am convinced our nine miles will be MUCH easier than what we went through yesterday morning.
- I love long weekends so I’m going to try and take advantage of this one. I’ve already gotten a nap in, so things are looking strong.
- Finally, my other plan this weekend is to eat as much delicious food as possible. Many of you probably don’t know this, but New Jersey is actually full of awesome road stand farm stands which have the BEST produce. My plan is to stop at a couple on the way back home. Fresh fruit for the win!
What’s on your radar for the 4th?
Ah nap. Maybe I can get one of those in at some point. That would be lovely. Have a great weekend!

i hope you had a great 4th!
I declared independence from my alarm clock today. I managed to sleep until 6:30. I guess that’s something! Great idea on Independence Day. I doubt we’ll trek down to fireworks.

LOL – nice – way to “sleep in” 🙂
I can’t help but watch all the Will Smith moves. I really like Harry Connick Jr. too, so Independence Day is one of my favorites. “Time to kick the tires and light the fires.” I’ve seen it a few times. lol

happy 4th of july!!
My 4th plans were spin class this morning, relaxing and taking a nap, getting some blog stuff done, then a cookout, dog walk, and fireworks with family.
Sounds like you have a wonderful day planned too.

Sounds like a great weekend!! We ended up at the White House for the 4th of july party for military members…it was the coolest thing I think I’ve ever done!! And my little guy became famous…his face was plastered all over the media, including the Today Show! Totally crazy and so much fun! Hope you had a great long weekend!
