Heh.

My sister sent everybody in the family a pirate care package with eye patches, earrings, fabric bandannas, and paper copies of that badge and other stuff. Our family is crazy that way.

But I'll be home all day tomorrow cleaning, and Jon has to keep up certain appearances while on the job, so we won't be "representin'

Of more interesting note...

While sitting on the computer earlier today, I heard the TV upstairs, and an episode of Wife Swap came on. One of the families was of the guy who runs that website. They really do dress & act like pirates close to 24/7. I only watched the last half hour, and I must say, what a bunch of nuts.

My daughter and her friend dressed as pirates for school today! She had on my black corset over a high necked white fluffy sleeved shirt and black boots and skirt. She looked really cool.

*sigh* now I hope I don't get a phone call to come get her. These conservatives over here just may, even though she is completely and totally covered up to her neck.
