Where I stand...

Current Mood: frustrated Do You Care? Do I Care? "Join thousands in LA on March 18 to protest the war on Iraq on the 3rd Anniversary of the US Invasion" Thousands might be right, but frankly I've seen more people waiting to get into Disneyland.

I vaguely recall 'Easter Monday' being a semi-official holiday down here. Blue is way too cute, and as if on cue two squirrels were mixing it up outside and she did a mini-spaz. woot! by the way - America. What a country! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:SchoolCrossing.jpg ok - this is spastic too! off to put the house in order - who knows when boo and Tom will roll in, but they'll be beat, I'm sure. Hope you're having a fabulous Friday. Sc.
