Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Why do little kid pageants have a swimsuit competition? I always assumed that the point of swimsuit competitions in regular pageants was to judge the women's figures. Four-year-olds don't have figures.

oh joy! Oh Rapture ! I have a brain!

so , these pagent people would think the sexgames for kids in Brave New World were ok? I am sure there are some sane people involved in kid pagents. And I can see some scholarship money being worth soe of it but since I don't have my eyebrows waxed...

The biggest prize at any of these competitions is $5,000. Some of these people are spending $2,000-$3,000 per dress, and the kids wear at least four different outfits per pageant. The people spending the least money are paying a few hundred dollars per dress by buying them used from the people who pay a few thousand.

Ooooh.

Why are they spray-tanning a child whose natural skin tone is darker than the shade that most of the kids are tanning to?

I have karated, babysat the dojo baby for a couple of hours, done dishes, moved laundry around, and sent the boy off to his father's. Can I be done for the day?

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

About an hour and 2 minutes ago, I set my kitchen timer for an hour, and forced myself to clean for the WHOLE HOUR.

Whew. Glad that's over, even if I didn't finish the apartment.

That's craziness! I had a lazy yet active day. Went for a long walk followed by an early supper and nap. It's been nice.

Seeing as I have a relatively clean kitchen and tomorrow is 3/14, I think I may start a pie crust tonight in order to make a pie tomorrow. But do I want to make a blueberry pie or a key lime pie?
