I wrote an amazing blog post last night...and then I forgot to save it because I couldn't figure out how to load the video. Basically it went something like this...
What a better way to spend a Monday night and a loooooooooong and sleepy day of school all day loooong. Homework shomework.
We have been taking Wunbi to this place called Murry Park at least once, sometimes twice a week to try to socialize her. There are a gazillion things for her to discover, roller bladers, cyclists, runners, walkers, kids, walkers, a dog park a a big dam bridge. Wunbi can't go in the dog park yet, it's too scary for her. She has met an armadillo, walked across and swam in the Arkansas River, and discovered that roller bladers and skateboarder are the most scary things in the world. I'd like to think that her socialization is working. The first time I wore my Heely's a while ago she was terrified. She ran and hid and jumped on high things to be safe. So last night when I put them on she just wanted to play with them. I even let her give them a try.
The video is a bit long but you have to watch the whole thing to see Wunbi's shot at Heely's.
Funny Arkansas story of the day. I was in Pine Bluff for my practicum project today. It's a sad sad town. Rated by Forbes as the third most impoverished city in the US a couple of years ago. Poverty is one of those things you just don't get until you see it. Anywho that part isn't funny. What is funny is the whole bloody town smelled like sausage. Yes that's right sausage with a hint of dirty lake and those weird smelling trees in blooming time. No offense to the Bluff but if the town smells like that I don't blame people for moving out. On another weird Bluff note, on the way to the college down there we passed a restaurant/store sign-Pork Butts 1.49. WTF??? Who is going to buy Pork Butt???
Life is tough in the Bluff and I'll leave you with that.
Coming up..the naming the house contest.
