Studying for an exam? ::shaking head in disbelief:: (<g>) Gail!! I enjoyed your post - we have the same situation here as you do.. it sounds as if I may have a little more time on my hands than you, tho. But study? Yikes. My little bean-bag butt babies distract me to no end. Just to watch them is such a joy... everything else pales by comparison. I've *tried* studying with them in the same room. It doesn't work. For *me* anyhow! LOL!!! -Celia (Jake and Kes and Dax and Odo) [Posted in FML issue 2136]
