things I wonder:
... why kitties sit in front of a dish full of food and insist that they haven't been fed?
... why people believe that a lie is preferable to the truth?
... why riding apparel companies don't sell shirts in hues called Paddock Dirt, Tack Conditioner, Hoof Dressing and Horse Slobber?
... why I procrastinate about making chili when in actuality it takes me less than 20 minutes of prep time?
... why does Wal-Mart have CoverGirl cosmetics in a bin marked "Back to School"?
... why do Biscuit and Petey stand in the sunniest part of their pasture when it is 100 degrees outside? And then act miserably hot and depressed?
... why did my school send me a letter telling me to review my financial aid, when none of the financial aid information has been updated for next semester?
... why would you buy a horse with perpetually pinned ears and a mean little pig-eye? A horse that kicked you when first you met?
... what exactly happens in Chapter Four of Gathering?
... why do I expect myself to be Superwoman?
... why am I not Superwoman?
... was Ned Stark really Jon Snow's father?
Full day off tomorrow = a VERY exciting event. I'm looking forward to unwinding reading Clash of Kings, working on the novel... vacuuming, emptying the trash, laundry, cleaning the bathrooms and the kitchen, you know, all that relaxing kind of stuff. :)
And as far as Day 11 - The name of your elementary school goes...
Funny story: When I was in elementary school I was not, in fact, in elementary school, but happily homeschooled. We had expanded a bit on a particular unit study requiring me to invent and map out a fictional town... this town, Cedar River, was now the basis for my research assignments, my history lessons, my science and social studies projects (what effect does a hurricane have on a coastal community?), my math exercises, and the dozen or so half-finished books I was writing at the time. Oh, and my clothespin dolls. Can't forget them.
The state of Virginia required my parents, at the time, to submit an annual proposal outlining my curriculum and academic progress. The year I was eight, my mom began with great trepidation to write a proposal explaining how we had turned our "worldbuilding" project into a comprehensive course of study. She sweated bullets over it. It was the first time we had gone so far off the beaten path, and our experience with the VA Board of Education had not, so far, led us to believe they encouraged radical means of schooling. At long last the thing was done and we sent it off....
and from then on, every envelope we received from the BoE was addressed to "Cedar River Elementary."
