| And the verdict is in |
Why didn't somebody remind me that I had jury duty this week?! What? I forgot to mention it? Well, that's a lame excuse.
I'm laying in bed Tuesday night, I've finished watching a thrilling episode of Big Brother All Stars (go Janie!) and I'm not quite ready to go to sleep yet. So, I reach over to my bedside table, where I set things I want to have a look at during down times such as these (cause that happens soooo often), and pick up a handful of miscellaneous papers from the kids school to review. Having picked up said stack of papers, my eye was caught by a piece of paper I'd sat there several weeks ago - also known as My Jury Notice. My brain immediately jumped into oh shit mode because I had a sinking feeling that this was my week. Sure enough. I was supposed to call in 9/5/06. Um, too late for that.
Last time I had jury duty, I called in every day and every day it said call back tomorrow until the last day when it said nevermind, we don't need you afterall. So I was hopeful that perhaps my husband was wrong and that I wasn't being frantically sought under a bench warrant for failure to obey my civic duties. I jumped out of bed and went to check the internet, which is the other option besides calling in. Turns out, my group was being called the next day. Whew! And crap. There goes my Wednesday off.
Thankfully, I was not chosen for a jury, or even sent to a courtroom. After wasting 3 hours in a holding room and listening to a bunch of orientation for something I ended up not having to do, I was released and sent on my merry way. I should have gone straight to the babysitters house and picked up the baby and then on to pick up the girls from school. But I utilized my unexpectedly free time for some retail therapy instead. I landed ~$300 worth of clothes for $50. All for me! Yay me! |

| I'm alive |
Wow, it's really been awhile. I'm not doing so great on my promise to keep my posting fresh. A lot has been going on in my day to day life, but not a lot of it is bloggable at this point.
I guess I need to focus on the fact that not all entries have to be super long, or even super interesting :) I will try to commit to putting down a paragraph or two, even if it is relative nothingness, going forth.
Of course, I'm drawing a total blank right now. But I'll try again tomorrow. |
