You asked for it....


Sorry for the close up of my derrier but you can see the flying ducks the best at this vantage point!!



Don't neglect to notice that I have on my duck wellys (i.e. duck rubber boots).

And of course what post would be complete without a full size photo of yours truly in the duck pants. Here are a few of the responses from friends:
"I can't let you go shopping by yourself."
"You're not six anymore."
"I think you'd be perfect for that show 'What Not to Wear.'"

Blogs, blogs, blogs!!

If you are interested in the rantings and ravings of a future librarian you can also read my library focused blog at: http://gslis.simmons.edu/blogs/admissions/author/karenbingham/
It's a group of blogs for the admissions at Simmons College - my current and soon to be former (yay for graduation!!!) university.

The sun is shining - hallelujah!

I'm a big girl now!!!

A few exciting things this weekend....
  1. I have signed all the paperwork and will soon be living in my own apartment - no, I won't own it, but I will be living there alone. It's a studio - but it's absolutely darling AND I get to have a duck bathroom again!!! Ahhh, the simple joys of life..... and speaking of ducks and simple joys in life....
  2. I went shopping at L.L. Bean on Saturday to celebrate finding the perfect little apartment. I wandered finally making it to the sale section and learned that on top of the already discounted goodies there was an additional 30% off all markdowns (SWEET!!). And then, to my great joy and amazement, I found a pair of reddish/orangish corduroy pants with little mallard ducks embroidered all over them. That gem of a find was only made more complete by the addition of some sale priced duck embroidered flip flops. Did I purchase them? What do you think.

When I told my good friend A.G. over the phone what I'd purchased I heard her gasp - and then say, "I can't let you go shopping by yourself again."

Who could pass up pants like those??
