Sorry, I didn't get a chance to post about Harborfest yesterday. By the time I got home, I was extremely exhausted. So...I'll talk about it now!

It ended up thunderstorming most of the day and there wasn't really anywhere to hide so Amber and I got absolutely drenched and had to spend most of the day that way. We didn't let that "dampen" (haha) our spirits though and we still had a great time. I was really surprised at the quality of it all. I'd have to say it was almost on par with the New York State Fair minus the sponsorships (although they still had some) and livestock. The first stop we made in Oswego was to Bodified so I could get another ball for my horseshoe that I lost and Amber bought a horseshoe of her own.  The midway was overpriced, but I didn't really care about it anyway. Part of our reason for wanting to go was because Amber's roommate for next semester, Kelly was going to be there and we were going to meet up with her. I bought a "Monkey Nut" which was a cup made out of wood and coconuts that is shaped like a monkey. I'm using it as a bank lol.

The fireworks were aboslutely incredible. I guess the Harborfest fireworks are rated like 6th in the world and I can definetly see why. The whole show was simiulcast with 95X (I think that was the station) playing music to go right along with it. When the big swells in the music occured, the fireworks would follow suit. There is no way I can accurately describe it well enough. It is defintely something you have to see for yourself.

Oh, and I also bought a Harborfest t-shirt which you can see in this picture:


We had a great time and I'm so glad I went!



As for today, I worked 10 - 6. For dinner we had angel hair pasta with chicken, broccoli and carrots. I ate everything, including the vegetables. I told my parents Amber's getting me to eat my veggies. They were shocked. So much so that my Dad gave me $10 to go get ice cream (with the girls). I just got done cleaning the gerbil's cage and I'm getting ready to go watch some TV in my recliner.

I have the day off tomorrow, and I'm very grateful lol.
