Hey, that Gangnam song is beautiful when those two sing it! Very cool! Piper I liked your comment over at Jess’s about vacuuming in sequins! You rock!

  I thought it was pretty, too. … As for vacuuming in sequins, though it’s not normal, it has happened when I’ve been cleaning up while heading out the door to dance. 🙂

Thanks for the shout-out – hope i don’t seem too self-serving by liking this post! 🙂

As for the Spanish… I’m now wondering about organising a fundraising calendar for penniless local writers, all fully clothed with the slogan “Buy this, or else we’ll publish the naked one, bwahahaha!” I figure it’d sell like hotcakes.

Maybe we’re going at this change-the-testing issue in Texas all wrong. Perhaps moms should stop testifying for legislative committees and start baring their goods. We could call it “Strip the STAAR of Stupidity.” (Oh no, I just got political. *headdesk*)

  LOL. Perhaps moms should go on a clothing strike until all the Education Testing Industry goes under. . . . Wait. Does that sound all wrong? 🙂

Hahaha now that’s dedication. Whatever works, right?

For one glorious day, I was the coolest substitute teacher ever to grace Dover Middle School because I knew what Gangnum Style was. At least, that was according to the sixth grade class, haha

Don’t want to know Gangnum Style is. Slightly dressed soccer moms, no thanks. I’ve met enough on Wednesday afternoon grocery shopping

  LOL. Sounds like those kids in your neighborhood will just have to walk should it come to that. 🙂

You just get funnier every week, Piper. I bet the french copy the Spanish now. I can’t see that happening in Canada but you never know 😉

  I’m sure men are men in Canada, too. I’m thinking Canadian women might want to start working on their bikini bods because I’m guessing there are going to be cancelled bus routes everywhere after this. 🙂

Now that’s liberal art! Courtney is going to Spain for a semester abroad this summer. No telling what she may see while she’s there.
