Happy Thanksgiving

Have a Wonderful Turkey Day!

Sick ... Again!

Yuck! This last weekend I was sick for the second time in a month. I'm not dying of swine flu or anything - just a nasty cold - but it's still so frustrating to be sick multiple times in a row. Off course the advantage of being sick was that I basically just spent the weekend sitting on the couch reading, and watching tv on my computer. The bad part about that was that I started watching this show and basically became obsessed:


I could not explain why the show is so compelling, but I spent a large portion of my weekend watching this show and literally sobbing through every episode. Pathetic: yes. But also very much true. Now I'll have to watch through the end of the season ... it's inevitable at this point.

Law Student's Syndrome?

Have you ever heard of medical student's syndrome? It's basically where medical student's feel like they have the diseases that they are studying. (Jed doesn't seem to have contacted this yet) I think they need something similar for law students. Not because there is anything you learn about that would lead you to believe people will sue you constantly, but because when reading about cases you read about so many freak accidents. For example in torts we read a case a couple of weeks ago about a woman who was walking through an airport terminal and a light fell out of the ceiling, hit her on the head, and killed her. Seriously. I've also read cases about people being killed by their lawnmowers, brutally injured by their coffee machines, and basically terrorized by a host of other ordinary seeming items. All of the sudden there are all kinds of previously unheard of dangers all around. I haven't changed anything yet, but I am looking at household appliances, and light fixtures especially, a little more warily.

Some Good News and Some Bad News

So a couple of weeks ago our check engine light came on and we finally decided that we better take it in. We dropped it off at the dealership and then they called us a little later with some good news and some bad news.

The good news: the only thing wrong with our car was that our gas cap wasn't sealing properly.

The bad news: they charged us $45 to tell us that. And no ... that $45 did not include a new gas cap.

An Interesting Fact

Did you know that I currently have mold growing on my lungs? I didn't either until Jed told me last night. And guess what ... if you come visit me in Cincinnati you too can have mold growing on your lungs! That's right, apparently there is some kind of mold carried by pigeons here that you get simply by breathing in the air in Cincinnati. This mold also apparently never goes away. So who wants to come visit?

Catching Up

Wow ... so I have a lot of catching up to do, but since I don't really feel like writing out a small novel and you probably don't feel like reading it (especially since I'm currently feeling too lazy to go get my camera so there won't be any pictures), here is a very short synopsis of what we've been up to:

Drove 1600 miles from Provo to Cincinnati
Moved all our stuff into our house and put the boxes in the correct rooms
Moved all the boxes and furniture out of the correct rooms so we could paint
Worked very slowly at painting for weeks so that we could prolong living in turmoil as long as possible (we're still working on this one)
Went to Jed's white coat ceremony
Explored Cincinnati a bit and got very lost in the process
Started school
Spent a ridiculous amount of money on books
Went to Jeanna's (Jed's sister) wedding in Utah on a very quick weekend trip
Studied and hung out in our messy torn apart house
Watched BYU beat OU!!!

And now that brings us back up to the present.

The Internet

We finally have the internet! (More to follow soon)
