Is there a secret message here? If so, I'm too underslept to figure it out.Kathrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01531752820400538930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6617646341992184593.post-59436108166065033792008-07-16T08:56:00.000-05:002008-07-16T08:56:00.000-05:00Yes, Katie, it does.

Is that wrong? Am I unpatriotic? Maybe because my birthday's on the 3rd and I have not gotten a good night's sleep anywhere within a week of my birthday since I met my husband and our dog because of the yuck-yucks who love to blow sh*t up in our neighborhood.<BR/><BR/>By the way, I missed your last poll, but I vote for carnivorous spiders.
