conversations with kennedy

Kennedy has been extremely obsessed with horses lately. Yes, even more than before. Typically we do our grocery shopping at Kroger since it is right around the corner but Brendon took them to Meijer yesterday. After reading a story last night, Kennedy asked if I could take her to Meijer after I got home from work.

Kennedy: "Can you please take me to Meijer tomorrow?"

Me: "Why, so I can buy that toy that dad said no to?"

K: "No, so I can ride that horse."

M: "We'll see, it's not that close to home."
K: *sigh* "Ugh, I just wish I was an adult."
M: "No you don't."
K: "Yes I do."
M: "Well, then you'd have to go to work."
K: "No I wouldn't."

M: "And how is that?"

K: "I'd just be retired."

She gets this whole 'adult life' thing.

the cuckoo's calling

My day started off bright and early at 7:30am with my organic and biochemistry final. Why yes, this was a fabulous choice of exam time. Seriously. Luckily it was only thirty minutes earlier than my class normally is but damn, can a lady catch any type of break amongst all the chaos? After that it was off to my to math exam. The struggle of this semester was epitomized when I got back in my car after chemistry and drove around campus to math exam. If it hadn't been raining, I might've walked. Haha, who am I kidding. I still would've driven. And still, I have one more exam to prepare for but seeing as my brain may implode at any moment, I'm giving it a break with a new book.

This one makes #9 for the year. Without having a school schedule this number would have been doubled by now.

 I've had this book on my list for a long while but had been really hesitant. A) I was sort of annoyed that J.K. Rowling revealed that Robert Galbraith was her pseudonym after the release of this novel (supposedly after sales bombed). B) I am even more annoyed at the fact that she continued to write as Robert Galbraith after it was made known that it was a pseudonym. C) Ultimately J.K. Rowling is capable of few unforgivable things. D) I found it at Meijer for 'under' $6 even though it still sells at Barnes & Noble (in store) for $26. Online you can get it for a similar price as I just found out.

Also, I left these stickers on the cover because they are the kind that absolutely ruin the dust jacket with goo if you remove them. I will forever be confused by this notion. Just put the stickers on the back or something!

The cuckoos are a family of birds: cuculidae.
