Glad your day got better!

I got into this in kind of a weird way. I decided to go to law school after spending 7 years in another career. My younger brother was 2 years ahead of me in law school, and worked as a law clerk at the title company. When he graduated and went off to a big law firm in another city, he sort of arranged for me to take his place, and I just never left. After graduation & the Bar exam, I just stuck around, working at my old law clerk's wages while I looked for other work...since I didn't want to leave Lubbock, there wasn't alot to choose from, so I just stuck around & volunteered to do more actual legal work related to real estate closings...it has grown from there. They ended up making me a full time employee of the title company, and they allow me to build a related legal practice & mentor me when I need help. It's a win-win situation.

Big change from my prior life (lives) in corporate training & managed care provider contracting....

Anne Marie: I love the wedding picture you posted. Those bridesmaids dresses are really pretty, too!

Andi: Do you have to wear pantyhose for your lawyering duties, or are you just talking about for Convention? You could always pull a Tracy B. and break your foot if you really want to get out of wearing hose!!!! :D

(Sorry, Tracy B., I just couldn't resist!)

lawyerly duties. :(

I don't get to go to convention. *sniff*

And I don't hate hose badly enough to hobble myself to get out of wearing them! Yikes!

Tracy- I thought the dressed were beautiful.. all the girls looked SO good in them! They all had blue hydranga (sp?) for flowers.. very pretty!

I am SO bummed I am unable to go to Convention.. maybe in 2 years.. :) Although I can honestly say I will not be sorry that I'm missing wearing hose while in Tampa.. in July.. oh man, that is going to suck. :p :p

I'm excited.. I have been offered a Nanny job in No. VA for next summer. This could be money :p (they're *really* well off, plus I would be all set for a job for when I move!)

Happy Independance Day!! :D :D :D

Ok, this is TOTALLY sketchy of me.. but lilDZCarol.. do you know the name of one of your sisters, who is from NH and transfered to a community college in NH for the fall? She is transferring to my mom's school.. and my mom met her yesterday.. and I would like to get in touch with her, so she can visit my chapter since its not too far away. (I know she'll miss being a part of DZ) If you don't want to give me her email or anything.. I completely understand. Thanks!!!


Anyone have exciting plans for the weekend?

*sigh* I bet the ladies at the convention are having a fabulous time right now. I wish I could have been there :(

ok.....time to complain.....yall have to listen since all of my other friends are in the same boat :p

I teach...and we have to go back to school on JULY 28!!! whatever happened to summer vacation? We got out on June 4 and its already time to go back. I'm sooo not ready and I have no idea where my summer has gone!!!
:eek:

ok..enough On the positive side, I am ready to get back into a normal routine. Things are much easier, routine wise, during the school year. Go to school, practice/game (i coach volleyball and soccer), go to the gym, cook dinner, do work, go to bed. Which means "no hanging out and spending money at useless bars with friends, cause they teach and don't want to stay out all night"!


Ok, I'm done....thanks for listening! :D

Do classes start on July 28th?! Good God! I thought I had it bad having to be back at school on August 16th!!!

Why so early???

I have had such a miserable week at work (summer camp). I have irritating campers and it has been raining ALL WEEK.. so we've been cooped up inside. Uhg... I am ready to beat my head against a sharp corner to put myself out of my misery :(

On a positive note.. it isn't supposed to rain tomorrow!

On an even MORE positive note.. I started a "Fitness Training Plan" 2 weeks ago (since I work at a health club.. :p) and I have lost 5 lbs!! WoooHooo!! :D

^ Congrats on sticking with the Fittness Plan!

I have been going to the gym regualarly, but working at the bakery defeats the whole purpose. Imagine working at a place where you can eat Chocolate Cheesecake, carrot cake, dream bars (creamcheese and almond flavoring, yum), homemade chicken salad, and lots of other stuff...free. Its all sooo yummy. I worked there all through college and became pretty good friends with the woman who owns it, so she lets me work whenever to earn some extra spending money. The Sugar Plum makes me feel like I HAVE to go to the gym, or blow up!

We go back to work on the 28th, but my kids start on Aug. 4. Still way tooo soon, I think.

Sorry its been raining! We has a cool front come in last night and it is actually nice outside now. I layed out before I had to go to work. Hopefully the rain will hold off this weekend. I am going to see Chairman of the Board Sat. night and Kenny Chesney on Sunday night. I'll take pics for yall!

Hope everyone is counting down till 5:00 Friday...Let the weekend begin!!!

AWJ- How was the concert?! I LOVE Kenny Chesney!!

I went to Martha's Vinyard this weekend with my roomates from PSU. Oh man.. SO MUCH FUN! (For those of you who don't know.. Martha's Vinyard is a Ritzy, rich island off of Cape Cod in Mass. Many, Many famous people have houses there. The Kennedys, Tom Hanks, etc.)

We went to the beach ALL DAY on Saturday.. stayed out at the bars and pubs until 4am this morning :eek: , ate a lot of good food, drank lots of good beer and got sweet tans! :)

We're already planning our outing for next summer.. I can't wait to go back!!

Even more exciting.. we saw a guy proposing on the beach.. it was SO cute!!!

I hope ya'll had a great weekend!!! :D

Kenny was WONDERFUL~ :cool:

It was a great weekend...shaggin' to Chairmen on Sat. and Kenny on Sun. Its going to take me all week to recover.

So...the ex-boy from SC is calling again. Time to work this thing out. I have no idea what to think or do, but its kinda hard to turn your back on someone you dated for 4 years. Ugh...think I will go lay down in my new pj's and read. Isle of Palms...great book!

Hope everyone is having a great week!

I HATE stupid, catchy commercial jingles. :mad: :mad: :mad:

I have the dumb Toyota jingle stuck in my head.. I can't get it out for the lfie of me. :(

Oh yeah..
and the RED SOX beat the damn Yankees tonight.. 11 to 10!!


:D :D
