hi ho, hi ho, its procrastinating I go!

You would think that procrastination ends when school ends. You would be wrong.

I'm supposed to be researching the Farm Bill so that the Sisters can send letters/phone calls to their senators. I've done some research, but am not done yet. I enjoy learning about the farm bill. But somehow I do not feel motivated to finish this project. And its stressing me out. And the FB will be on the senate floor soon...

That's ok. In 10 minutes we will have a birthday party with brownies and ice cream for one of the sisters on my floor. I'll deal with my procrastination after that. haha.

I'm getting better at being with the alpacas. I'm slightly less paranoid. Plus, I think they like me alright. Little Simone is very social and she'll run up to me sometimes, to sniff my boots. I'd like to think she knows who I am. Regardless, she lets me pet her. She is so soft-- that baby alpaca fiber is great. She is my favorite baby so far (I probably shouldn't have favorites though). We now have 6 babies born, with maybe 4 or 6 more on the way by the end of October. I got to watch one birth. It was pretty cool. The mom was so calm. I don't think I'll be like an alpaca if I am ever in labor. One of our alpacas is about 16 years old, so she's probably had 12 or 14 babies! Crazy, huh?

Mags-- about your quest to eat less meat, good for you! One vegetarian cookbook that came recommended to me was Vegetarian Cooking for Everyone by Deborah Madison. I have not tried it, but apparently it is very good and some of the recipes even suggest how to add meat to them, if you were in a meat mood. If I every try it out, I'll keep you posted. Oh, and if you ever are feeling lonely and want a visitor, or a visit destination, let me know and we can plan something!

Teena-- I'm glad to hear the law school is going well so far and that you are adjusting. You always have such funny stories!

Katie-- I hope you are doing well still!

Hi Chris Conrad, hope school is going well!

That's all for me!

love you all,
Laura
