Scaredy-Cat!
Thursday, July 2, 2009
Am I the only one scared of fireworks?
They are definitely pretty to look at, but the sound that they make, ahhhh!! I don't know why, but they scare the bejeezus out of me. I always have to cover my ears when I watch fireworks, esp. when I'm close to them and they are the big ones. Little ones are okay, but the big ones that make a big kaboom??? FORGET IT! I'm like a scared little girl with my ears covered. It's kind of embarrassing actually, haha.
I also get freaked out by balloons popping!! And even in the movie theater, sometimes if I know someone is going to get shot, I cover my ears when the gunshot comes.
Something with me and loud sounds, I don't know what it is. Maybe something happened with a loud sound when I was little and I've been traumatized? Who knows. I know, I'm such a big baby!
Ok, that's my pre-4th of July rant for the day. Thanks for reading, my lovely blogger friends. I guess you know I'm not going to be watching fireworks this weekend unless I'm far away and can't hear them that well, haha.
Also, thanks so much for all your positive feedback on the bag on my previous post. Now I feel better about buying it and rocking it at work. Thanks loves!
I leave you with some yummy yummy 4th of July desserts.
Enjoy your 4th and watching fireworks, you brave souls! ;)

LOL, such cute pics for this post! I must admit as I was reading, you could've been describing me! I hate loud noises too - even when they happen right in front of me they still manage to catch me off guard :) Just celebrated Canada Day yesterday, lucky for me it's not as big of a production as
the 4th of July. Hope you find a quiet spot & enjoy the 4th!

My dog Friday stays in the bathroom corner during fireworks, thunderstorms, hail and the washing machine going off kilter.
You may want to try that.
Have a great weekend ♥

Cath and I used to be scared of the sound of waves crashing! We grew up going to the beach and all of our baby pictures show us covering our ears.

and don't be embarrassed about getting frightened at loud noises, I'm pretty much the same way minus fireworks. I hope you have a wonderful 4th regardless!! :D

Ha ha, I know sometimes the noises can be annoying. I don't blame you for not liking all of the noise!
I can either way with fireworks: with or without. I just like the food! He he.
Hope you have a very relaxing 4th of July and that you can escape the loud noises love.
July 4, 2009 at 4:56 AM
oh! I have same feeling about the balloons, but not the fireworks, hehehe... I just love them, fully, the colors and all, including the loud noises they make. =S
yeah, sometimes they're annoying, though.
July 4, 2009 at 7:23 AM
Hahaha, yes I think you may be the only person scared of fireworks! :)
July 4, 2009 at 1:23 PM
Haha I'm scared of balloons popping too!! Yum, those desserts look so gorgeous. Hope you're having a beautiful 4th of July dear :)
July 4, 2009 at 1:55 PM
I was definitely afraid of them while I was growing up - and I too hate balloons and the sound of the popping! I scream every time one pops!
July 4, 2009 at 3:25 PM
I hate loud noises too! I can give you a list of loud things I can't stand: emergency vehicles, firetrucks, fireworks, motorcycles, girls shrieking......the list goes on. Have a great holiday weekend! I wish I'm having one of those desserts right now! xxoxoxo
July 4, 2009 at 4:44 PM

Aww, I think that's adorable! Loud noises definitely catch me off-guard so I have some advice -- watch them from far away! If there's some kind of hill and they're putting on fireworks from afar, at least you get to enjoy the beauty and the sound won't be there for at least 5 seconds, and it'll be muted! haha.
Hope you have an amazing 4th of July!
