- The Boy is going nuts today with his barking. My next-door neighbor is having a new roof installed, so there is a lot of noise.
- Speaking of the Boy, we received our application to participate in a program sponsored by our local SPCA called "Angels on a Leash". The program has volunteers and their dogs visit hospitals and nursing homes. I am really excited about doing it. The Boy is very sweet and would make an excellent therapy dog.
- The Boy has to go through a temperment and obedience test, which I am not worried about because he has completed basic and advanced obedience, plus agility training. I continue his training at home on a regular basis. But, I am concerned about the "other dog" category. The Boy gets excited sometimes when he sees another dog that he wants to visit, but can't. He starts biting on the metal clasp that hooks his collar to his leash! I am surprised that he has not broken a tooth!
- One of the questions on the application asks what my opinion is regarding euthanasia. Why is THAT important??
- Is it just me or is American Idol really annoying this year??? I can't stand Antonella!!!!
- Speaking of American Idol, I like the Daughtry song "It's Not Over." I wonder if the rest of the CD is just as good???
- My malpractice insurance is officially cancelled. Yippie!!! That's $225.00 that can stay in my pocket!!!
- We have decided to go to the Florida Keys for our vacation in April. Now, I just have to finish the taxes....
- My printer is broken. It makes this rattling noise when you try to print something.
- I know a couple of you have left Blogger for WorldPress. Is it better??
Final bullet: Thanks for all the comments about the LL.M thing. I hope I did not sound conceited when I mentioned the not having to work thing. I am proud of what Husband and I have accomplished over the years. We worked so hard to get to this point. We saved and went without many things in order to reap the benefit now. I am in a unique position so, I am going to submit the application and just see what happens. Wish me luck!

I find interesting that you'd even consider that your last post was conceited. Why can't you be proud of your accomplishments and the position that you and Husband have acheived in life? A girlfriend and I were discussing this last night and we both agreed that if we were men, this thought would probably never arise.
Point: Be proud and enjoy the flexibility that you've earned. Don't appologize to us.
Euthanisia is a weird criteria. Maybe they don't want you encouraging the patients?
Thanks Abbey. I guess it is part of my need to constantly prove myself. Every since I was a kid, I had to prove that I fit in or belonged, mostly becuase of my bi-racial background.
What you said about men is so true. We as women are trained to apologize for success rather than relish it.
I was looking at changing to Wordpress, so I started a new blog there just to test it out (and then deleted it). What annoyed me is that if you use the free version (wordpress.com) you can't change any of the template code. The only thing you can do to personalise it is to change your header (e.g. you can use a picture of your own as a banner). Even the colours can't be altered for free.
I think most people's gripes with blogger can probably be fixed by using Haloscan for comments.
For the record, I didn't find the comment on your previous post conceited. Like Abbey said, I think it is great that you and your husband are at that point.
I wish you luck on your applications!
Oooh, Florida Keys are fun!
