Foul Play

The other morning, after KB and I came back to the lake from our workout, we went down the the boat dock. Once we got there, I just needed to take pictures.


I started here...



and zoomed in a little closer...



and then I thought I would play with the sun...



About this time, an old man in a truck drove up and starting honking his horn. Come on, old guy! WHY are you honking? You, Mr. Horn Honking Man are scaring the ducks!



Wait! The ducks! They are coming closer despite the horn honking maniac.



Those ducks just kept getting closer to the horn honking man. I couldn't figure out why...



And then I understood, food.



Food is a strong motivating factor, but it can't make them stay.


I talked to the old man. I admit, I was suspicious. These aren't domestic ducks and it's close to duck season (actually, I think this happened during duck season) He said that he's come down to feed the ducks most every morning since Ol' Man Smith got to where he couldn't do it. It made us wonder just how old Ol' Man Smith must be if this man was the next generation of duck feeders. Kind of sweet, isn't it?

We're Separated

...





by renovations, that is.


A week ago, I started staying in my parents RV. I thought that if there was one less person and one less dog (Daisy is with me, of course) in our Rolling Mansion that it would be easier for KB to tear out the carpet and put down the new flooring.

I thought that not my not being there would motivate him to do it quickly.

I am beginning to think he's enjoying it just a little too much!

Between weekends with The Girl that involved All-Region Band auditions and his not feeling well, not enough has been accomplished for me to go home.

So, my darling husband and I remain separated.

KB, should I put on a cheerleader outfit and do a cheer? Because, I will. I miss you.



and I miss our comfy bed

I've Got A Tip For You Tuesday #20

Don't eat popcorn and coffee for breakfast and follow it with Starburst candies for lunch.

How Can Someone So Smart

do so poorly on the LSAT?

This is the question I’ve been asking myself these last two weeks since I got my test results.

Truth is; I was under prepared. Truth is; I sabotaged myself. Truth is; I was, and still am, scared of law school. I don’t really understand this. I have my Master’s Degree for heaven’s sake. Law school would have certainly been more difficult than my graduate degree program, but I did get my Master’s while working full-time as a single mother and not studying. So, surely I could do it. There ARE attorneys out there that aren’t very bright. I know this. I’ve met a few.

But, for whatever reason, I didn’t do well. The next question is where do I go from here? KB says I should go ahead and apply to the schools I want to attend. He thinks that if I get an interview, they may decide my LSAT scores are not a determining factor in my success and let me in. He is may be right. I know he is correct about my finishing my journey with the application process. I’ll be upset with myself if I don’t at least try. So, I will send out my requests for letters of recommendations this week. I will do a first draft of my personal statement before Thanksgiving. I will complete applications by Christmas.

Then, I am going to let it go. I AM going to give it to God. I WILL NOT take it back. I am quite tired of fretting over law school. So, I am done.

Now y'all know what I’ve been beating myself up over for the last two weeks.

I Want To Sing and Dance

I am looking for an adult ballet class. I wonder how far I'll have to drive...
