The Latest News

Good evening, and welcome to the weekend update from the Edwards.

Gas prices continue to fall, declining for the twenty-second day in a row (says my husband, who enjoys reading about such trivia on the internet in his leisure time). People have been seen all over the city high-fiving at gas pumps. Some have chosen to use the extra money to pay off their debts, but the Edwards family here in San Antonio has decided to funnel the overflow from the monthly gas budget directly into the monthly ice cream budget--Yeah!

While gasoline prices have shown a decrease, homework, on the other hand, has shown a steady increase over the last few days. Jeffrey has his first round of tests coming up in three weeks, and I have wasted away countless hours attempting to make anatomically correct models of teeth out of wax.

In other news, San Antonio apartment complexes are trying new methods to keep their tenants. My friend Carly woke up last Thursday as usual, got ready for school, and attempted to leave, but realized that the power at her apartment that serves the entrance and exit gates had been turned off. Every person in the complex had been effectively locked IN. In an event reminiscent of the fall of the Berlin wall, Carly's fellow apartment dwellers worked together to pry the oppressive gates open and go on their way to work and school. Luckily, Carly only missed the beginning of a very boring lecture on biochemistry.

Casey Cope is staying with us this weekend while she goes to a wedding. We have really enjoyed having her, but I hope that she hasn't been disappointed with the "luxurious" life of the Edwards. The big events of this weekend so far have been eating chicken tenders and watching the Olympics on TV...very exciting. Casey assures us that this is what she would be doing if she were at her own house, so I guess everyone's happy!
