Mommy's Little Distraction

Mommy's favorite little distraction is a sheltie mix named Edgar. As you can see, he spends most of his time nipping at my feet, chilling in my arms, or chewing unknowing toys to death (or ice cubes now that he's teething). Let's just say my productivity has greatly diminished since he arrived several months ago, and with school, it was nearly impossible to get anything for fun done. Despite starting work in the next few days, I will be working on my story that involves a zeppelin and an archaeologist with only one arm. Well, that takes me back to the good old days of actually enjoying what I'm writing. Soon, it'll be back to science classes, tears, and hair between my fingers after I have ripped it out. For now, I will enjoy my summer, especially when I get to see Cirque du Soleil around my birthday. (I also hope you all enjoyed my color pajama pants and oddly patterned hoodie).

Another One Bites the Dust

Well, Osama Bin Laden is dead now, supposedly confirmed by DNA analysis (anyone else wonder how they got results so fast when everyone else waits a month for a blood test?). While I'm glad that he is dead, I have to wonder what will be the backlash of this act. He NEEDED to die, but even if you kill the leader, another is ready to take his place. I know I won't be stepping foot on a plane for a while. I get annoyed, stop playing all the patriot music on the radio until we know they won't blow something up or crash a plane into another building. There WILL be some sort of retaliation. It was a great call for Obama, very gutsy, but we need to calm down and think for a moment.
