Thursday Thoughts

I survived my first trial.  The first week of October, I was second chair in a four day trial and I managed to escape with my sanity.  We won a pretty big verdict, which is exciting, but have to survive the judgment phase and the appeal before we can actually celebrate.  My thoughts: Trials are crazy and I find them extremely stressful.  However, I felt more like an attorney during those four days than I ever have before.

I just renewed my health insurance and bought life insurance.  Both good things, I guess... but they make me feel old.

I have decided I need to cook more.  I honestly cannot remember the last time I made food.  I am making a goal for myself to cook one meal a week throughout the end of the year.  Hopefully I can manage.  Does anyone have a quick and easy recipe for a beginner?

I recently bought a nook from Barnes & Noble.  I am in love.  Though I still think there is something to be said for paper books.  Is it okay to love both?

Turns out my spiffy new workout clothes were not as much of an incentive to workout as I had hoped.  I have worked out once since my last post.

Since Starbucks discontinued the treat receipt for the fall, I have managed to exude self-control and I have not had my sweet pumpkin chi latte since.  I am proud of myself and yet feel strangely un-festive without my pumpkin pick me up.

Is it weird that I am already counting down the days until I can play Christmas music without being judged?  It is not even cold outside and I already have the itch.  "Santa's Lost His Mojo" wants to be played people! 

I am no longer a "wilderness woman" as my roommate is the proud owner of a Bosch dishwasher.  I will have to go visit Laura in Alaska after all to claim the title.

Alright,  I better get back to work. Have a good one!
