I got tagged...

So I finally have some time to think about another post on our blog. This week has been crazy. Anyway, my sister Jen tagged me to say some interesting things about me. So here goes...

1. I love to go window shopping. Trevor soon realized when we got married that when I saw something in a store and said, "That's really cool!" or "That's really pretty" it doesn't necessarily mean I want to buy it or own it. I think this might have been due to the fact that growing up in Arizona my siblings and I would go shopping a lot (because what else do you do when it's hot outside?) and I didn't really have money to buy anything.

2. Trevor and I like to have random contests such as seeing who can...

• Find the oldest book in a library
• Guess how much a certain article of clothing costs at Neiman Marcus outlet
  
• Express our love to the other person in a mathematical limit approaching infinity the fastest
  

3. I am really bad at taking pictures. I always bring my digital camera places in hopes that I take pictures but I never take very many. This will hopefully change once we have a baby.

4. I like sitting in a parked car with the engine off while it is raining outside.

5. I'm slowly getting over my phobia about drinking spoiled milk. I cannot drink milk if I see it sitting out and I don't know how long it has been unrefrigerated. At least I'm now willing to have milk be outside of the fridge for longer than 5 minutes. I used to think all milk smelled spoiled and I had to have someone else smell it for me to see if it was okay to drink. I also couldn't drink milk straight, but this has improved over the last couple years. I still prefer water to milk, but I don't feel like gagging anymore when drinking a glass of milk.

6. I have a tendency to skim to later parts of a book while I'm reading it to see what is going to happen. For example, if someone is dying I'll look ahead and see if that person is still talking later in the book. I mean, it's not like I know HOW so-and-so made it out of the cave of wonders alive, I just know they did. Trevor doesn't understand my logic in this, but it really does put my mind at ease. I don't like suspense. That's the hard thing about movies... you can't do that.

I think that's enough... Hope everyone has a great week!

One of these semesters is not like the others!

It was confirmed today that I will NOT be having a final this semester for my class! WAHOO!!! This is my first semester EVER without finals! I just have a paper and presentation due on Thursday and then I can continue working on my thesis. My professor said that if we all did well enough on the last exam then we wouldn't have a final. Well, the students know that just means he didn't want to take the time to write a final, but we aren't complaining one bit!

Unfortunately I can't say the same for Trevor, but at least he only has 3 finals instead of the usual 5 or 6. We will definitely be celebrating on Dec. 21st as we drive to Arizona!

Some Internet Information

This post is actually to let you know about a recent post by Trevor on his blog for a class. It's some facts about the Internet. Maybe some or most things you already knew about, but it doesn't hurt to make sure people are aware of these kinds of things.

Also, Trevor showed me this Firefox extension (add-on) that helps block some advertisements shown on websites. I really like having it installed and it makes my Internet experience more pleasant. It only works in Firefox, though, so sorry if you use Explorer, Safari, or another web browser.

Sorry for the lack of postings lately. Trevor has three projects due on Thursday and I have a project due on Thursday as well. Finals are the following week! Then Christmas is almost here!!!
