1. In the United States of America, it was recently ruled that the phrase "one nation under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance is unconstitutional. Do you agree with this ruling? Should the phrase "under God" be removed? Why?
I'm not really sure how I feel about this.
2. When was the last time you took a road trip? Where did you go and what did you do?
This weekend. Jeff & I went to Carlisle, PA for the All Truck Nationals. We walked around the fairgrounds all day looking at trucks; big ones, little ones, new ones, old ones. Truck, trucks, trucks! Agghh!! :)
3. Do you have any vacations planned for this summer? Already gone? Where to and what?
True vacation, no. But we seem to be out of town just about every weekend, so maybe they could be considered mini-vacations.
4. What is the most drastic change to your appearance that you have ever made? Are you brave enough to post a photo?
Well, in middle school I tried to spiral perm my hair. That pretty much sucked. And then a couple years ago I cut it really short, like to my chin. Pretty drastic considering 2 years before it was almost to my waist. Can't say I've really done anything terribly crazy.
5. Tell me about something to which you are committed?
Umm..uhh..
6. Now tell me about something you just flat-out gave up on.
Umm...uhh...
7. (new saga) I've had it, this place is just wearing me out. You too? We need a break! Let's head out and go someplace new. You make the plans, I'll get things ready. So what do you have it mind, and did you want me to pick up anything special to pack for the trip?
We're going to the beach baby!
BONUS: Where is my hairbrush?
Under the bed.

Oh where.....is my hairbrush? Oh where.....is my hairbrush? Oh where, Oh where, Oh where, Oh where, Oh where, Oh where, Oh where......
...is my hairbrush?

Posted by: Paul on July 1, 2002 6:18 PM1. I do not agree with this ruling. I am a Christian, so I do believe in God, I also believe in the separation of church and state. The reason why I think the Pledge of Allegiance should remain the same is because that is the way our forefathers created it. It's history. It's our heritage. Despite what modern "PC" terms may deem, if we keep changing our historical phrases, songs, and literature, we will lose ourselves and our past.
2.Mike and I went to VA Beach this past Sunday with family and friends. Good Times!
3. Since I took a vacation to Italy in March/April, I have no vacation days left to use this summer...."sigh" "wahhhhhh!"
4. It wasn't too drastic b/c I gradually did it over a couple year's time, but my junior/senior year of college I started going through this women's lib thing where I wanted my hair really short. Each time I went to "The Cutting Edge" of Radford, I got a few inches cut off, until after graduation when I totally chopped it to be a "modern woman" for my new job. Now I'm letting it grow back so I can do an up-do at my wedding.
5. My morals, my mom, and my MAN!
6. My muscles! (well, actually,I'm trying to get back into a work-out program as we speak, so that's not totally true, I just couldn't think of another "M" word to finish off my alliteration)
7. I don't get it.
It was hard at first, Paul, but I spent 4 years trying to memorize the lyrics. I think I've got them down now finally.
