But most of what I would say wouldn't be productive or meaningful in your time of need (more so rambling and reminiscent-like "OMB Bodhi...I so know what you mean when our girl just plops down on the ground without any explanation!").<br /><br />What I can add that may be helpful is this: bicycle helmet. Get your man a bicycle helmet.<br /><br />I did some of my best studying for the NC Bar Exam sitting on the couch in the den wearing my bicycle helmet. Nope - wasn't riding my bike. Nope - wasn't just sitting beside the helmet. I was strapped in, ready for the ride.<br /><br />Comforting? Maybe. Ridiculous? Of course. Only happened once? Not a chance. It happened multiple days in a row.<br /><br />Perhaps it had something to do with keeping all my good thoughts within close reach so I could formulate answers to practice essay questions or play a hearty game of alphabet soup with multiple choice questions. Who knows. We will likely never know.<br /><br />So embrace the insanity that is before you, because, with all due respect, this is the shit you guys have been waiting for over the last several years, but more importantly, the last 17 mos. 23 days 5 hours 41 minutes and 28 seconds. I remember the day (although the estimate as to how long ago it actually was is likely way off) that you told me Hunter had started studying. He had a study schedule, indeed. I fully anticipated you to say it was for some exam that was in 3-4 months. Imagine my surprise when I learned it was more than a year (year and a half?) away!!<br /><br />In all seriousness, the pain and pressure in the next 72+ hours is nothing compared to the amount of relief you will both feel when it's all over. <br /><br />You can do it. And so can he. No doubt about it.<br /><br />Keep on keepin' on. And hollah back soon ma'am.<br /><br /><3, MayLaurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775873575194706704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5786622996723659934.post-66846609997559240512009-08-17T08:49:25.162-07:002009-08-17T08:49:25.162-07:001) I think the chocolate place will probably do y...1) I think the chocolate place will probably do you right. Pinwheels are one of my all time favorite cookies as are Grasshoppers, if you want a dwarf of a different tune. And those Ghiradelli squares....dear G-d. <br /><br />2)I recommend Twilight. Yes, I am a dork. <br /><br />3) We 86'd cable but we were addicted to Whale Wars. I highly suggest as a) you are both kind of hippies at heart and b) you both like to get on your political soap box. Hours of entertainment. (oh, plus c) the ocean. duh.) The History Channel's African Expedition also addictive. And both will probably fulfill his violence quota.kvlmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06558072254087023695noreply@blogger.com
