Denial

Is a state of existence sometimes.  Right now, I don't have a paper and problem set due Thursday.  No, I definitely do not.  And I'm not a college student far away from Oklahoma.

My dog will never ever ever be that calm around another animal.  Cheers to basset hounds.  One of you will be mine someday.
