eight hours of deliberation later: i feel like i've been hit by a truck.

 

and if you ever want recommendations on who NOT to use as a lawyer in this area, just ask me. 

i thought i would make it through the month unscathed, but it happened...

 

i got called for jury duty.

 

8:30 tomorrow at the courthouse.

 

woo. 

i regressed about twenty years on saturday night: we went bowling for my birthday. sweet. i am sure we were the loudest group there, which was impressive, as there was a group of about a dozen elementary school aged children a few lanes over. we are awesome. continuing with my childhood birthday tradition, we followed up our amazing bowling skills with some pizza nourishment. okay, so there were some drinks involved that did not generally make appearances during childhood birthday parties, and i don't think pizza hut ever had roasted red peppers or pesto as topping options, but, you know. pretty much the same idea. plus s'more cake from cd and mocha cheesecake bars from kt... mmmmm. i am sure my neighbors loved when we started playing pit at 11pm. yesssssss.

 

tonight a good friend has offered to cook a birthday dinner, and let me tell you, the menu sounds yummy. mmmmmmm.

 

i am surrounded by some very good people here.

 

life is good.
