Pencil sharpener... check.


So, Matt has been talking about going to law school ever since we moved to Houston in May of 2008. He studied some for the LSAT before Lincoln was born, but for whatever reason didn't end up signing up for the test. He kept talking about future plans for when he went to law school and I'd catch him again and again looking at houses for sale in Boston, New Haven, and Durham in hopes that he'd get into one of the neighboring law schools. I told him, "Quit with the talk, already!", so he finally buckled down and signed up for the test. After years of talk and months of preparation, the time has come... the test is this Sunday. The test is administered in Seoul, so he's gonna catch a flight Saturday night and make sure he knows exactly where to go. We're hoping the baby doesn't decide to come this weekend.
In preparation for the test, he gave me a list of things he needed me to get for him at the store. The list included:
  • #2 or HB non-mechanical pencils
  • a non-digital watch
  • erasers
  • a pencil sharpener

I looked at several stores and the only non-electrical pencil sharpener I could find is the one pictured above. He is gonna be a major intimidation factor to his fellow test-takers with that kind of sharpener. Watch out, guys!!! He's gonna ace this thing!

  3. Charlotte - I LOVED catching up on your blog! Good luck to your husband, and good luck with the new babe (hopefully, like you said, it won't come this weekend). Good luck with the healing thumb, and with the little menace. I love his blonde curls! Such a cute little boy!
