the roast i killed twice and then ate

SO.... on Sunday I decided to become a domestic goddess, not saying that's unusual for me, and I made delicious stew. However, when I began this

adventure I was unaware of the emotional toll it would take on

my peaceful day. By the time I was finished preparing the meat I was sweating, up

set and cursing the meat. It's amazing the degree to which meat can cause frustration. I am 20 years old, I have a brai

n, I am probably at least three times bigger than the meat (name it???), and can talk... yet this small brainless, voiceles

s thing got under my skin. haha but it was absolutely fun and delicious later.

I wish I could laugh at everything bad that happened to me.

Okay random story-- Erica and I were driving home from school (Utah to CA) and we pulled off in literally the middle of nowhere. We decided to get out and take some pictures. haha This experience defines mine and Erica's time together: absolutely fun no matter the place, highly modelesque, and soooo random. haha

Here's a conundrum for you, our whole lives we have been told not to smoke.

I just found out in my epidemiology class that there's a link between parkinson's disease and smoking. There are studies where individuals who are considered "smokers," having a lower incidence rate of having parkinson's disease. Crazy huh? The terrible habit of smoking may actually protect people from a disease of old age. Now as a public health official, I'd like to take a moment and say: STILL DO NOT SMOKE: if you jump off this cliff, it will protect you from getting cancer. False.
