unpacked....

2008-12-13T21:34:41Z

I have finally unpacked the yellow room!!!! Holy cow! It only took about 3 hours. I had to unpack, organize and then haul in boxes from the garage so that I could unpack my neverending fabric stash and put it all away. So, it's all done. So.......aside from the list of crap I need to do from school.............all that is left is a little quilting!!! Yeah, me.....tomorrow, I can sew some stuff! I don't know what, but I'm gonna sew something!! :) Maybe I'll just make some quilt blocks or something. I don't know. But, there will be sewing tomorrow!!

quick funny for the law students/lawyers in the group....

2008-12-09T18:17:19Z

I found this on facebook and thought it was pretty funny.....

You know you're in law school if.....
You know all sorts of sneaky and creative ways to steal from clients thanks to your Professionalism and Ethics class.

You consider dropping out of law school approximately every hour, but after that first semester you realized you were already in too much debt to be anything other than a lawyer.

You aspire to one day own Blackacre.

Substance abuse becomes you.

The drama in your life now rivals that of high school.

You make adverse possession jokes.

You can name without hesitation at least three people who make you want to throw things when you see them raise their hands in class.

You think IRAC and CREAC are just code for saying the same thing over and over.

You are truly and deeply unnerved by the thought of some of your classmates becoming attorneys.

You think tequila shots are essential to ordered liberty.

You wonder if that one professor who always seems angry and irritable and treats students’ minds as his personal playground is actually a sociopath or just didn’t get enough hugs as a child.

Sometimes during disagreements you are tempted to 12(b)(6) the offending friend or family member.

You know and understand the complicated epistemological and metaphysical differences between a conspirator and an accomplice.

You know and understand the complicated epistemological and metaphysical differences between coffee and red bull.

You can’t remember if you decided to come to law school because you wanted to help people and make a difference in the world or because you hate yourself.

You think whoever first introduced the Socratic method into the law school curriculum should have his face lit on fire and then beaten out with a rake.

You can’t think of any legitimate reason why a law student would need access to certain public records, but you can think of a whole lot of illegitimate ones.

After the first semester you realized that “briefing a case” need only consist of looking it up on Lexis or Westlaw.

You’ve given yourself carpal tunnel from all the spider solitaire you play in class.

When someone is expressing their frustration or anger about something that is in any way related to the law, you can’t be sympathetic because you’re too busy figuring out in your head if they have a cause of action.

You hear about the death of an elderly friend or relative and wonder if they died intestate.

You have considered changing career paths to hot dog vendor, stilt walker, or career alcoholic.

You're pretty sure the reasonable prudent man is a friendless tool who still lives with his mother.

chilly...

We had a little dusting of snow last night.....it's definitely cooling down around here!! Check out the pond:

Your Driving Is is: 63% Male, 37% Female

According to studies, you generally drive like a typical male.

You're confident in your driving skills, and hardly any situation gets the better of you.

And while you may have a few tickets under your belt, you're still a very good driver.

Do You Drive Like a Guy or a Girl?

On April 19, 1995, a truck bomb exploded outside the Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building in Oklahoma City, killing 168 people and injuring 500. (Timothy McVeigh was later convicted of federal murder charges and executed.) ---from today's New York Times

more Bill Clinton....

2008-01-30T19:43:32Z

A kid in my ConLaw class (R) stood in line to see Bill today. R got in line at 430 this morning and was one of the first seven people inside. He was able to sit in the front row. 10 minutes later, the place was full and the Secret Service came up to R and asked if he would like to sit on stage. R about flipped and went on stage. This kid had his picture taken with Bill, shook his hand, got his autograph and a free t-shirt. It is now 145 and this kid is still higher than a kite because he had such a good time this morning. Ole Bill made R's day and possibly his life! I'd say he got at least one vote for Hillary today!!! :) hahaha Good for him!!! :)

Bill Clinton

2008-01-30T12:47:40Z

Apparently, Bill Clinton is going to be on campus at Southern Illinois University at Edwardsville this morning from 8-9am.

All I'm saying is that they are taking 150 parking spots away from the parking lot where I park and it's 12 outside!!!!!!! Making me walk from further away on such a cold day does not put old Hillary on my list of those to vote for!!!!!!!! :) hahahaha Someone should have explained that to her!!!!!!

AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH IT'S COLD AGAIN!!!

2008-01-30T12:41:13Z

Okay, seriously! Yesterday, it was 68 at 6am.......by 5pm it was 13 or something retarded like that! 50 mph wind gusts...hail, snow, rain....oh, and let's not forget the tornado warning as well! THIS IS SO RIDICULOUS!

Oh, and it gets better! It's suppossed to get colder (of course!). AND, by Friday morning, we could have as much as 6 inches of snow on the ground!!!!! Did I mention how ridiculous this is????????

Oh, and right now....it's 12.

I heard yesterday that Chicago was having a blizzard! Ugh! We had clients in from Chicago and I'm not sure they made it home yesterday. So, I guess I should be thankful that I'm in the St. Louis area and NOT Chicago!!! :)

Stay warm everyone!!!

2008-01-25T13:07:12Z

It is currently 13 degrees outside. Yesterday, it was 6 or something like that! It is sooo cold right now. This is the forecast for the next 5 days. It appears that if I can just survive today, we will be on the receiving end of a wonderful heatwave on Saturday!!! And, lookout for Monday! We'll be wearing shorts around here!!! :)

It is so cold again that the furnace isn't keeping up. Last night, I couldn't even sleep well because I was so cold. I was never awake enough to go get another blanket....so, I just laid there....freezing my butt off!!! I woke up this morning and I swear I think I saw my breath!! The furnace was set to 68ish, but the temp read just below 50. The furnace gets tired and then it just won't turn on anymore. You have to flip the switch. When you hear that it's 13 outside, you think oh 50 inside isn't bad.....well, I can assure you, it is!!

Today, I have the full long johns on along with the heavy outer layer! Hopefully, that will keep me warm at home, at school, and at work today!!

COME ON SPRING TIME!!!! BRING ON THE HEAT AND HUMIDITY OF ST. LOUIS IN JULY!!!! hahahaha

just for fun...

CAT DIARY

Day 983 of my captivity.

My captors continue to taunt me with bizarre little dangling objects.

They dine lavishly on fresh meat, while the other inmates and I are

fed hash or some sort of dry nuggets. Although I make my contempt for

the rations perfectly clear, I nevertheless must eat something in

order to keep up my strength. The only thing that keeps me going is my

dream of escape. In an attempt to disgust them, I once again vomit on

the carpet.

Today I decapitated a mouse and dropped its headless body at their

feet. I had hoped this would strike fear into their hearts, since it

clearly demonstrates what I am capable of. However, they merely made

condescending comments about what a 'good little hunter' I am.

There was some sort of assembly of their accomplices tonight. I was

placed in solitary confinement for the duration of the event. However,

I could hear the noises and smell the food. I overheard that my

confinement was due to the power of 'allergies.' I must learn what

this means, and how to use it to my advantage.

Today I was almost successful in an attempt to assassinate one of my

tormentors by weaving around his feet as he was walking. I must try

this again tomorrow -- but at the top of the stairs.

I am convinced that the other prisoners here are flunkies and

snitches. The dog receives special privileges. He is regularly

released - and seems to be more than willing to return. He is

obviously retarded.

The bird has got to be an informant. I observe him communicate with

the Guards regularly. I am certain that he reports my every move. My

captors have arranged protective custody for him in an elevated cell, so he is safe. For now....

how cool would it be....

2007-10-06T11:01:41Z

for a long time Bob Dylan fan to actually get to go to his concert????!!! Yeah, that's me. I just love Dylan. I would completely LOVE to see him in concert. Of course, my husband would rather have his eyes poked out! I don't know anyone who likes Dylan enough to go with me and pay the price of the ticket. Yes, Dylan is at the Fox on October 22: http://www.ticketsnow.com/TicketsList.aspx?PID=534466 and you wouldn't believe the price of a seat. I'm not sure if it's because it's so close and the cheap seats are sold out or if it's because there are no cheap seats!!

great quote....

2007-02-10T20:53:11Z

"Three slender things that best support the world: the slender stream of milk from the cow's dug into the pail; the slender blade of green corn upon the ground; the slender thread over the hand of a skilled woman."-- The Triads of Ireland (ninth century)--I took it from the book Ecological Imperialism by Alfred Crosby (pg. 8).

country song...

2007-02-10T20:42:29Z

Have you heard that song "Before He Cheats" by Carrie Underwood? I'm hearing it on the local country station. I haven't listened to country for awhile and just turned it back on today. This is really a comical song!!! Seriously, listen to it once and tell me you don't laugh!!! :)
