Life Lately

Nothing much has happened in my life lately that I consider to be blog-worthy.  Please pardon the resulting radio silence.  But, I have been busy lately!  Life seems to be in a perpetual state of hyperspeed despite my protests.  That being said, work has died down a little bit in the last few weeks.  It has been a nice reprieve. Lately I have been:

1. Watching as many reruns of The Big Bang Theory as I can find on TV.  I love the nerdy humor.  I grew up watching Star Trek (my brother and father are Treckys...  it rubbed off over the years... k?) and enjoy all of the Star Trek references.  I also learn a few things here and there.  For example, I now know about the doppler effect and Schrodinger's cat. 

2. This weekend I volunteered at ACT's Will Clinic.  It was an honor and a privilege to serve in West Dallas.  I was one of the estate planning "experts" which I found laughable after only three years of practicing law...  But, I knew the answers to most of the questions that I was asked, which was pretty cool.  

3. I sat third chair in my second trial a few weeks ago.  We won!  I remain undefeated in my career.  I secretly (or not so secretly since I am telling you) hope I get to stop litigating before I lose.  Not sure if that speaks to my dislike of litigation or my delight in winning.

4.  I am failing miserably in my cooking goal for the year.  Why is cooking 12 new dishes in 1 year hard for me?  I am a little embarrassed.  I plan to pick up the pace soon.  I will complete the challenge!

5. I signed up for Pinterest last weekend.  I am not so sure about it yet.  But, I fear once I get the hang of it, it will be time consuming.   

This weekend I am:

1. Walking a 5K with Erin and William.  I can't wait for some uninterrupted time with two of my favorite people in the world.  It has been too long!

2.  Going to attempt to paint this on Saturday while hanging out with my brother's girlfriend (sans my brother) at Painting with a Twist.  I am nervous and yet super excited.  I will show you all my masterpiece next week!
