I hope everyone had a nice weekend.  It is absolutely gorgeous here today.  High of 83, low of 57 and not a cloud in the sky.  Have I mentioned that I love fall? ( my weekend )

One of my husband's closest friends, who was a groomsman in our wedding, (we'll call him J) is hot. He's the opposite of my husband. My husband is the tall, dark, handsome type and J is blonde, blue eyed and muscular. I have known J for about 5 years and we have always been close. We have a lot in common and just clicked from the first time we met ( Read more... )

An unoriginal title but it fits my mood. I was just assigned a new case to work up. An idiot drank in a bar downtown until 3:45 a.m. He proceeded to get into his SUV and drunkenly run a red light, killing a man who was on his way to work.

I've been out of town, and I never touch a computer when I'm away if I can avoid it because it reminds me of work. I don't have much time for an update now, but I will try to read a little bit of my Friends page ( Read more... )

Things are better. Not perfect, but improving. Thanks immensely for all of the kind words ( Read more... )

Okay. I'm trying to keep my promise to myself that this journal will be an honest, real reflection of my life. This may become a rather long entry, so I'll cut it. I understand that there are people with much bigger problems practically in my backyard (I can see the line where they are handing out food stamps to Katrina victims from my office ( Read more... )

I stare at another timesheet, mostly blank because the day is new. The six-minute slots of time which I must account for all day long make me sick. I think about how time flies. For several years now my daily routine has been filling a timesheet with billable nothing. Day after day ( Read more... )
