The Practice of Slowing Down

This is what I needed to read tonight it was posted on another blog and I think we all should keep this in mind. Follow the link below and listen or read the essay. It won't take long, but its worth it.

Slow Down

Me Procrastinate??

So I have a paper due tomorrow at 3pm. There have just been so many other things I would rather do than research and write a paper. I'm dreaming of the day when I could just type a paper up in a couple hours and turn it in. No real work, no real research. Now I have a whole book outlining how the paper should be formatted. There is running heads, citations, authors, tables, statistics, journal articles, abstract, title pages...
Anyways its my fault I should have started writing it before Thursday. Other than that life is good. I played volleyball last night for the first time in at least 2 years. It was not a pretty sight, I had fun though. It has been in the upper 90s the past few days here in Pullman, summer has arrived.

It's Summer!

Summer officially arrived this week! The week flew by, its already Friday!! The fact that its Friday is both good and bad, its bad because its one day closer to my paper being due (school during the summer is a bad idea), it is good because well it's Friday!
I have spent a lot of time over in Moscow at the dog park with Cooper. He loves going and playing with the other dogs. My little white dog is a BULLY! He picks on any dog that will let him. He does not really know how to make friends.. Poor puppy. He did get invited to a birthday party though. Mia, the terrier, is having a party on Saturday evening. There will be homemade dog biscuits and cupcakes for the dogs. Its a very exciting summer here in the Pullman/Moscow area!
I have watched a few of the World Cup soccer games. That is an exciting game! I was drawn in and could not turn away. It would be awesome to actually be in the stadium where they play the games. I have a few neighbors who are big soccer fans, and they were fun to listen to cheering at the T.V.
That is the gist of what is going on in my life currently. Nothing too exciting, just school mostly. I have been out of work for a few weeks. I turn 21 in just over a month! I've started counting down. Lynette is here for ALIVE at WSU, she starts school in the fall and I'm very excited to have her in Pullman.
I hope everybody is doing well, making plans for an exciting summer. I hope to hear from you all at some point.
Take Care,
Steph

Danger!

Man runs through neighborhood naked, gets shot at

ANN ARBOR, Mich. (AP) — A marriage-minded man ran naked through his neighborhood, trying to show his hesitant girlfriend that taking risks is important.
He got more than he bargained for when he ended up being chased and shot at.

The couple were discussing marriage early Wednesday when the woman said she wasn't sure if she was ready, according to Ann Arbor police reports.

After running naked across the street, the man ducked into some bushes when he spotted a couple walking.

A 28-year-old man spotted the bushes rustling and bare feet underneath, and drew his .40-caliber handgun, and ordered the naked man to come out, according to police.

The naked suitor ran away, but the armed man gave chase and eventually fired a shot, police said. The naked man fell to the ground, suffering minor injuries.

Police arrested the gunman on charges of aggravated assault and carrying a concealed weapon. The naked man was not arrested.

The moral of this story is to be careful where you go in your birthday suit! What I wonder is are the naked man and the hesitant girlfriend going to get married?

It's June Really?

Hard to believe it is June with the weather lately... Where's the SUN? I figured out how to have trivia on my blog; do you know the answer? If you get the question right... Well give yourself a pat on the back! If not better luck next time.
