A welcome and a reminder...

Hey, just so you girls know, you're officially NOT the only people reading my blog anymore- we have a representative from Ireland (which I will honor by writing in green, lol) who will be reading our rantings on here periodically from now on. ;) ;)

Ya'll remember hearing about Owen, even if I'm not certain you actually ever met, lol.

Owen, feel free to comment, even if it's an "what the Hell are you crazy Americans talking about?" from time to time, lol. I enjoy all my comments, ya know?

Oh, and Betsy, concerning the following email you sent to me at God awful early this morning... (Or maybe it wasn't EARLY to you, persay, since you hadn't gone to bed?)

"it is 2:07 am. let us parachute into a midwestern highschool football field and begin the invasion, girlies. neocon facists disguised as pinkos forever! yipee! if we convince the hippies we are on their side, they will gather in one place and we can mow them down. this is an excellent plot i've stolen from Joseph Stalin, who is no doubt spinning in his glass coffin in Moscow or whereevers."

I would be completely behind any and all plots you come up with, if I understood EXACTLY what you wanted us to do... Because I'm not gonna lie, this one confuses even me. Perhaps if I was also sleep deprived and had consumed a lot of veggie dip and Vanilla Coke... But maybe not even then, lol.

Love ya babes! ;) ;) :P

Yay, Star Wars with my girlies in two hours and counting! Let us mock the blatant Bush bashing/horrible dialog and enjoy the last Star Wars movie in the history of even! (I'm an Empire Strikes Back or Return of the Jedi girl myself... Gotta love young, yummy Harrison Ford!)

Oh, and if you fall asleep during the movie Bets, Maggie and I reserve the right to scribble on you in permanent marker, etc., etc.

...

But of course I wouldn't REALLY do anything like that to you!

...

I swear, stop looking at me like that, lol.
