Chicks and ducks

When I woke up this morning I didn't even want to think about writing my research paper, which was my only major homework of the day.  Yes, I've been doing some excellent procrastinating and didn't start writing the paper until today, although I did have most of my research done and my sources picked.  So, in order to continue the wonderful procrastination work I've been doing, Jonathan and I went on a date to the Tractor Supply Co. to look around the store and then to the Creamy Bean Factory for lunch (veggie Turkey Pesto sandwiches and gelato).

The Tractor Supply store was really interesting, but the best part was when we found actual live baby chicks and ducks!  I was so excited that I crouched right down beside their basins for a long time to watch them and try to pet them.  Finally I got so hungry I consented to leave the adorable barnyard creatures and we had lunch (after scrubbing our hands, of course).  We ate outside in the gorgeous sunshine and then the inevitable happened; we finished our food and reality set in.  It was research paper time.  I've managed to procrastinate some more so I think I'll be staying up all night to finish it by 9 a.m.  Oh well, won't be the first time, but hopefully it will be the last.
