Where I stand...

Current Mood: frustrated Do You Care? Do I Care?

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.
