Why Should You Hire Me?
Reason Number #274: If there is ever a situation in which I will need to comprehend and apply very complex Federal Rules of Civil Procedure with a 3-foot-tall creature climbing in and out of my lap, trying to feed me gummy bears, and attempting to push its finger through the lens of my glasses, I will be very, very prepared. :-)

Love and Marriage (and Torts)
My husband and I have over an hour long drive into Louisville every morning now that the 64-Bridge is closed. Since I have major anxiety when it comes to wasting time, I've started forcing Travis to listen to law lectures with me during the drive in. Today, we got to the Intentional Infliction of Emotional Distress lecture in Torts. After the lecture, Travis said, "Wow, I just realized that this entire relationship you've been committing one big tort, IIED!" My response: "And I'm about to commit another, Battery." :-)

A Girl's Gotta Do What a Girl's Gotta Do!

The Undergraduate Library
I accidentally left my laptop at home today and was thus forced into the undergraduate library to use their computer lab. Eeks! I felt like I crossed over into another cosmos. The people there are so much more diverse. They laugh - a lot. They talk about things like sports, T.V., and music. And some of the books they were carrying around appeared to be less than 300 pages long...and were paperback! Talk about weird!
