This is the Suckiest Fourth of July Ever

It's raining. A lot.

So here's what's been going on:

• Last night Chris, Jen, and I went down to the Taste of Chicago. I had wanted to go tonight when there are fireworks, but now I'm glad I went last night, because it rained today. We stayed at the Taste until it closed and then came back to my house and watched Goldfinger.

• Today I went up to Wisconsin with my parents to look at houses. We found one we liked and put a bid on it, but somebody beat us and they accepted the other offer. Day now officially wasted.

• We spent some time at my sister Aimee's house, and then Dad and I came back home. It was raining until a little while ago. Nothing to do.

• Tomorrow I have to serve Mass at noon, and then I think the plan is to go back to Aimee's. Fun.

• I start work on Tuesday, so my weekdays will be spoken for for the rest of the summer. Yay.
