When it rains, sometimes it floods

It is going to rain for the rest of my life. This is what I have determined. I've been wanting to go floating on the river this summer, but when I got home I realized I could just get my tube and float down my alley. Yes it was flowing that deep and that fast.
Funny thing is this morning the weather woman said all the rain would be to the southeast of Dallas. So, I've determined that I could, in fact, be a meteorologist. Seriously, you don't ever have to be right about anything. So, I'm putting that on my list of things to do.
So, 4th of July came and went without me doing much of anything, which was actually kind of nice. I had hamburgers and hotdogs at some friends' house last night then we drove to the end of their street (past the trees) and watched the Plano fireworks. Pretty uneventful, which is how I like things to be.

I love the friends that I have, but lately I'm sick of hearing how they let people treat them. For instance, a girl at work was complaining to me about how her husband has become mean to her in front of her children and family when he used to only do it "behind closed doors." Hold on, but when did becoming mean to someone no matter where it's done become ok in society? I ask, "have you told him how you don't like the way he treats you?" She says, "No. In fact last night I said one sentence to him and he got so mad he got up and left the room and slept in the spare bedroom." Ridiculous I say. I hear stories at work all the time about how their men are treating them. It makes me think why then would I ever want to get married? No thanks.
I've also been hearing some stories about the way some people think they are sneaky, but really they don't know that the person they are trying to be sneaky to is better at being sneaky than they are. I laugh I tell you. Because "someday {she's} gonna get it straight, or somebody's gonna straighten {her} out." And LORD do I hope I'm there to witness it!
