Oh, smacked in the noggin with a 2x4 wrapped in velvet. Yeah, that's what it felt like.

How are you me? You need to stop that. Only I can be me. ~Kara

What a charming boss you have there, Jars. You should buy him flowers.

That is a very striking billboard. I love the light on your hair, Steph.

Happy Birthday Trudy!

Kara is indeed 7 today. She's wearing a beautiful dress today and took cupcakes to school. This evening will be a picnic in the park with extended family. She's got a pinata. It's a burro and she loves it. It's so cute! But she's fully prepared to bash its head in to get the candy inside.

My sister apologized for sending her a sparkly pink card. There weren't any gothy kid cards. I'm finding it funny that any member of my family isn't horrified by Kara's interests. Well, she's a little horrified, but willing to go along, which is nice.

I have a question. Why do we pledge allegiance to the flag? Why don't we just directly pledge allegiance to the republic? I always feel funny about that, because I don't feel much allegiance to that particular design. Anyone?

Also, our dress theme tomorrow is hunting camo.

And I'm still open to suggestions as to my theme song.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Looks like I ain't sleeping tonight. The anesthesia seems to have worn off and the pain meds aren't quite enough. Mom is having a rough night and is trying to be a brave little toaster about it.

I hope she is doing better, and that you got some sleep, Suzi.

Now tagless for your comfort.

Emily, flags have been very important in organized societies for a very long time. They started out as military symbols and for communication purposes from Rome and to Medieval times. This was how you figured out where you stood and to determine friend from foe. It's sort of a convenient thing to have a concrete object to focus on when pledging.

Happy Birthday to Trudy and Kara. Mmm...Kara born on the same day as Trudy...'splains an awful lot.

Really? I mean, I don't mind facing it, as a symbol. I just don't feel that I have any allegiance to it. Do you? Is it just me?

I don't get the pledging allegience to anything. Seems a bit culty to me.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I have a question. Why do we pledge allegiance to the flag? Why don't we just directly pledge allegiance to the republic? I always feel funny about that, because I don't feel much allegiance to that particular design. Anyone?

It's to show your sincere gratitude that your flag isn't any of these ones: [link]

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

happy birthday, Trudy!!! And, Kara!!

Care to come and take on DD and 50 Intensive English 3 students?

Dude, I'm hiding in the corner with Jen and rooting you on.

I just don't feel that I have any allegiance to it. Do you? Is it just me?

Personally, I hate saying the pledge every morning. Feels a bit Loyalty to the Fatherland. Flag = piece of fabric. Granted, that fabric is loaded with symbolism of an ideal democracy, but still. Fabric.
