Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I confess that I spent some time trying to come up with an ‘obligatory’ post of thanksgiving, where I talk about the things I’m thankful for and how I love that there’s a holiday dedicated to food, family, and football and that we should really be thanking Jesus and not the Pilgrims.
But then I started thinking about how I was not thankful that my legal research final is due Monday. And that I have to study over Thanksgiving break. And that I have a voluminous amount of work to do before I can even begin to think about Christmas shopping. And underlying all those complaints was the thought that I’m not thankful that I am in law school.
And so I abandoned my thanksgiving endeavor.
But today, as I was (thinking about) writing this paper on North Carolina trade secret law, it dawned on me that a year ago, I was praying that I would get into UT Law.
Ooh. Right.
I forgot. I forgot?
Um, did someone say revelation?

So I Was Tagged...
I was tagged by Jamie and Foshizzle...and since there has been a noticeable lack of blogging recently [due in no small part to the fact that I am an indentured servant to UT Law], I figured this would be a good update!
Here goes my seven random facts:
1. I have a slight case of OCD with my sheets. I won't get into my bed unless I have had a shower, nor will I let anyone lay down unless they too are clean. I feel sorry for the poor man who marries me, because this woman loves clean sheets!
2. I love sugar. Cookies, ice-cream, brownies, cake, all of it. Fortunately for me, I spend a lot of time with Shannon, who also happens to share this vice, and she keeps my sweet tooth pretty well satisfied. And as much as I love sugar, I hate peanut butter. Some might deem this un-American, but I can't stand it--I think most of it has to do with the smell, but in any case, the taste of it makes me cringe.
3. Some people are shocked to find out that one of my dreams is to be a stay-at-home mom. Yes, all that post-modern feminist thinking encouraging women to pursue successful, professional careers was lost on me. This college grad currently pursuing higher education would much rather be at home with five kids playing monster trucks than CEO of her own company.
4. I can recite, in order, all of the presidents of the United States.
5. I love my DVR. Seriously, it is one of the greatest inventions EVER.
6. My biggest goal in college was to win a t-shirt in intramural football. Sad, I know, but if you did your undergrad at UT, you know how competitive flag football is. I never accomplished this goal--I made it to finals several times, but the elusive prize always escaped me. Maybe that's why I'm in law school--it gives me another three years to play!
7. I chose to go to UT for undergrad because I thought the buildings were prettier than at A&M. Seriously.

And yes, I posted this while in Constitutional Law. Maybe I should be paying attention.
