My dreams predict the future, heres the short story made long

I met with my group this morning at 7:00. We ran though our presentation a few times, yada, yada, yada. Oh but this is where the story gets good...
Here we are, its 7:50 in the morning and we are all standing around the conference table packing up our stuff and getting ready to make our way out the door. It was at this moment that one of my group members (who's wife is three months pregnant) said something about how he had had a dream last night that his baby was going to be a boy. While we were on the subject of dreams I thought I would pipe in and just mention the fact that I had had a dream that the answer for the two question T/F quiz that we have at the beginning of class everyday would be 1. True 2. True for today's quiz. An hour and a half later we go to class, take our quiz and sure enough the answers were True, True. Crazyyyy.... and now yall brilliant type are thinking- well... your chances were one in four to begin with.

The Savage Household

Trent left town which leaves me home alone. He is interviewing and I'm working.

My regular work schedule is already heavily weighted towards the end of the week, as I only work Thursday nights and Fridays. But since Trent will be gone until Saturday I'm picking up some extra shifts so that I can work even more while he is out of town. I've always loved to work, one of my little quirks I guess. But my job in the accounting lab is on a whole (n)other level. It is one of my favorite things to do, second only to being somewhere or doing something with Trent. Since the later is not an option this weekend, I'm working. In the lab. Helping people understand their debits and credits. Or doing my own homework. Or blogging.

And Trent is out of the state, interviewing it up at dental schools. He only has two left, and after today he will have eight behind him. We will be glad when we get word on his acceptance, contingent, of course, on one of them being positive. And the earliest we can find out is on December 1st (a concept I explain to others often when they ask if he has been accepted). And until then, I won't know where I am going to work. That's just the way it is for the Savage household.

Mac Attack

My Mac has made me angry.
Angry that I can't check my email.
Angry that I am not mac-savvy enough to figure it out.
And angry that I have wasted 3 weeks trying to do so.

During peaks of frustration I have even made threats to take my old laptop back and give this piece of white trash to Trent. It only takes him point three seconds to take me up on my offers/threats. But when it really came down to it, I just didn't have the heart to do that to him. I made the horrible assumption that if I couldn't figure it out, then neither could he.

I also knew Trent needed the same capabilities in the computer he uses as do I, namely yahoo mail, byu.edu, and blackboard. We were basically limited to google searches; better than nothing, yet still not the functions we are looking for in a computer.

So what sort of creative things have I done in attempts to fix this "lucky prize" of mine? For sake of making this already-too-long-of-a-post post any longer I will cut to the chase and tell you the one hundred, fifty-seventh operation (which just so happened to be the correct option) made on the 13 inch Macintosh.

apple. restart. Thats right, the entire time I owned the thing I never once shut it down. And that's precisely what did the trick.
