The Kwik-E-Mart that's allegedly in DC is actually in the suburbs, and not by a metro. (It is kind of near a bus stop, but it takes forever to get there, and I don't want to go to a Kwik-E-Mart quite that badly.) Phooey.
It's in bladensburg, I think. If you can wait a few weeks, I'll probably go weekend after next.
I love that there is no better way to celebrate being American than enjoying a good cupcake!
Can you pass the US citizenship test?
I had to guess on one, but ended up with 100% right!
I did that one yesterday. that question about the forms was WRONG.
I got 90% (thank you, Schoolhouse Rock), or two wrong.
If you turn a Teddy bear inside-out, is it art? Some would say yes.
Teddy bears are designed to be innocuous and non-threatening creatures. Inside-out the bears are still sometimes recognizable but are now much more complicated and contradictory. The seams of the bear now look like scars, and some bears loose their limbs and other appendages depending on how they were constructed. When you look at the inside-out bears they appear to have a history or a past. They no longer offer comfort but instead seem to want our empathy.

Citizenship test=good fun! I got 95%. I didn't know the Naturalization form.
I am feeling panicky! The doctor said Noah was ready to go home this weekend and he asked if I would prefer for them to stretch it out to discharge on monday. Ummm..... ack! I kept coming up with other things that needed addressing ("What about circumsicion?" "What about immunizations?" "Can I meet with the lactation consultant before he goes?" "Can I Room-In one night to practice?" "I still need to take CPR which is only offered on mondays")
BTW, JZ, Thank you for the onesies!. Little man is growing fast and furious and I am sad that he won't get too much more wear out of this.
I celebrated being an American in appropriate style: gluttonously chowing down on beef served to me by people from Latin America. Before tonight, I didn't realize that steak could actually stop smelling good at some point.
