Just don't answer...

Professor: Why do you think the court would make such a repugnant decision?

Student: Well, concerning public policy it's a slippery slope.

Professor (Interrupting student): What, are you a ski buff?

Basically it is all professor's duty to make every student feel like an idiot as many times as they can.

Eye Candy

Just to clarify I love Austin dearly and am even more in love with him after weekends like last.

 Weekends when he....
  • Sneaks into my room and gets Clover to take her outside so I can continue to sleep without her licking me to take her outside 
  • Rubs my neck after long days staring down at my computer
  • Does load after load of my laundry because somehow laundry escapes my mind when I'm thinking of torts and hundreds of pages of reading a day
  • Scrubs the bathroom so I can take my nightly baths in a clean bathtub 
  • Has dinner (always healthy) ready when I get home and even cooks for my study groups
I also love his tolerance of my Mexican food addiction and my quest to see every national forest near Charlotte.

Oh and he'd hate if I told everybody this... but I love that he goe
s to chick flicks with me for date night, without complaining, and even says afterwards what a great movie it was and how much he loves movies that make him feel good afterwards.

I also love that he lets me watch clips of 17 Again over and over to take a look at this fine man, Zac Efron. In fact he's so perfect I have a friend that is convinced Disney genetically created his perfection to make money. I think that's a good theory, totally plausible.  

So there he is for your enjoyment ....and of course mine when I'm suffering during contracts and need some eye candy to distract from the complications of contracts and offers. Ugh. 

The little one...


This little girl is going into surgery tomorrow and I'm pathetically worried about it. I'm worried that she's going to be in pain and think that Austin and I hurt her in some way. I'm worried that she's going to be traumatized and never be herself again. I'm worried that her puppy days and sweet nature will be taken away. I wish there was someway I could tell her it's for her own good and she'll get better. I think I finally understand the heartache of parenting.
Wish us for the best. I'm sure she'll be looking like this the next few days.  Austin and I have bought her plenty of treats, including frozen ones that she loves and rest assure she'll be cuddled and spoiled every moment of recovery.
