Jury Duty

So I just finished serving on my first jury. The trial is over so I can finally talk about it.

The charges were battery with serious bodily injury. It involved an altercation in Isla Vista on a Saturday night where one guy punched another guy in the mouth, knocking him to the ground and knocking out 2 of his teeth.
The jury could not come to a verdict and they had to declare a mistrial.

The big sticking point was whether it was self defense or not.

I'm not sure how I feel about the whole thing. I'm incredibly frustrated

Things to ask BEFORE you marry someone.

So my husband and I are constantly butting heads about when to do things. I like to get chores and tasks out of the way, because if you put them off, they get forgotten, they pile up, and I have to think about them the whole time. He likes to do all the chores on Sunday and I like to have Sunday totally free. So one of us doesn't get our way each weekend when it comes to chores... any guesses who that is? LOL

So in discussing this today, I asked my husband if he was the type of kid who did his homework Friday to get it out of the way or put it off until Sunday night. He answered that he waited until Monday morning before school or during class. DOH!
