Small problem may end Big fun

'Merica

As most Americans, today I will be in the company of great friends, grilled food, and the ever popular fireworks. Now, I have seen fireworks, played with sparklers and poppers, but I have never actually bought my own fireworks or been in close range of shooting them off. I have always lived in an area where they are illegal to shoot and my parents were never fond of them. Let me just tell you the story of how my first time buying fireworks went.

One of my friends invited me, my best friend, and her boyfriend to go buy fireworks a couple of days ago. So we all hop in the car and head off to one of the usual sketch firework trailers. My best friend and I really just wanted poppers and sparklers (yes I know we are lame, but the idea of shooting of fireworks kind of scares me) but the guys wanted to go all out. So we joked around and bought some things, then decided to head over to one of the big warehouses. Well what do we see when we get there, a very BIG box of all the things you would ever need to have an awesome 4th of July, not to mention, New Years and the next 4th of July. But alas, it was $1000 and being broke college students that we are, were just shy of the $1000 by like $999. So we buy somethings there (end up with more poppers) and head to yet another warehouse store. This was the last stop and they had the best items. The boys went crazy and my best friend and I just bought more poppers, naturally. So we came out of the three stores with enough fireworks to light up the sky in my small college town for a while. 

But we have one small problem that might end our Big fun. Our plan to shoot them off in the country (where it is legal) fell through, so we are going to be shooting them off at our friends apartment (were it is very illegal). This should go very well (can you sense the sarcasm?)! We also thought we were going to have rain, but it seems that mother nature decided to like Alabama today and our small town. I will hopefully NOT be in either jail or 6 feet under tomorrow so I can write to say that it turned out great and we had lots of fun. 

Carry On and Happy 4th,
The Big Girl
