Mystery Solved!

One day about two months ago, I thought I heard a John Legend/Andre 3000 song on the radio. I just caught a part of it, so I wasn't sure. Then I didn't hear it again, so I figured I imagined it. Well I heard it on the radio again recently and I realized it does exist, and I love it! Check it out on You Tube.... Green Light

Season Three!

Today I got a great present from the mailman...The Wire, Season Three. Yay!

"Honey, I'm pregnant and we're having a burrito."

So one of the places I have absolutely no self-control is a Mexican restaurant. It is my favorite type of food and I always over-do it. Last night I went to Austin Grill and ate plenty of chips and salsa, a beer, and completely cleaned my plate of its skirt-steak burrito, rice, refried beans, sour cream, and guacamole. Honestly, it was probably enough for dinner for an entire family. I need help! Gluttonizers Anonymous!

Not the most tactful

We had a great trip to Deep Creek Lake this past week...but here are two memorable quotes from Tony:

      [During the drive home]
      "Do you need to pee or do you just want to pee"

      Me: "I think I get on Steve's nerves"
      Tony: "You get on a lot of people's nerves"

6th Row!

I heart Tim Li (for a great date), Chris Martin (for his dancing), and Guy Berryman (umm...him I'm adding to my laminated card).

Now I'm jinxing myself

When I'm driving in DC or Maryland and I see that the speed limit is "radar enforced" I think oh good...no cameras...I can speed.

Doesn't take much!

Went through the drive-through teller at the Bank of America near Pentagon City yesterday and with my cash back the teller gave me a yellow lollipop. Made my day!

Almost free...

So the bar is going to be over in three days from now (knock on wood that it will be done for forever, not just until February!). To celebrate, I took a study break and went to the library (I know, I'm living wild) and picked up some books to read as my reward the night in between the two test days and for my wonderful 13 days after the bar with nothing to do but vacation with my family and chill. I can't wait!!!

I might have gotten too many...the guy sitting outside the library says..."You're going to read all those?!" but I don't care. I never fully appreciated how amazing it is to have long periods of free time until I went to law school, and I am looking forward to re-acquainting myself.

My steps to be "iReady"

1. Wait until my T-Mobile contract is up on Sept 15th (or at least justifiably close!)

2. Convince Tony that he can handle it if I have a nicer phone than he does (poor Tony with his 1st gen iPhone, right?)

3. Figure out why the family plans for AT&T are different for the iPhone and so expensive

4. 8GB or 16GB?; Black or white?

5. Sell my iPod to help pay for the ridiculously expensive and unsubsidized iPhone

6. Decide whether I can live without RIM instant email...is the iPhone really better than a Blackberry?


PS - the iReady concept is all AT&T, not me

Next Trip...

Will definitely have to be Corfu, Greece...it has clear water, beaches, good nightlife, and a little history and architecture thrown in.

I was thinking car salesman myself...

I was very dismayed the other night while watching Family Feud (um...not my choice of programming) that in the final round, the number one answer to:

"Name a profession where the person always tries to rip you off" ..... "Attorney."

Unbelievable! And so not true people...

"I like my new bunny suit"

You know how you buy a CD, and that is all you really listen to for weeks? Then it fades until you remember...today I had the pleasure of rediscovering the Juno soundtrack. :) Very happy.

All variations of the "American Dream"

Okay, so if the lion thing didn't give you chills, here are a couple more possibilities:

Migrant worker to brain surgeon

Non-profit assistance making a huge difference for those facing foreclosure

And if you aren't looking for inspiration, just something weird, how about a fish pedicure?

Why I SHOULD live in California...

Electric Minis!

But what a tease because they might be limited to "select customers" and only 500 models, sold only in California. Boohoo!

Hard to Believe...

Check out this YouTube video...it is cheesy for sure, but remarkable!

Weeeee!

What I will miss most about the summertime is biking. I had a great night at Haines Point tonight, although sans the "Awakening" statute, which is too bad. Made good time and did about 15 miles!

Lap 1 - 18.5
Lap 2 - 18.5
Lap 3 - 17.5
Lap 4 - 19.3!!!
Lap 5 - 17.8

Reward: Smoothie King Strawberry Kiwi Breeze for dinner

Life is good

Having a good day today because I figured out how to change my own watch battery and, even better, I had brunch with a really great guy.

Why I don't live in California...

Shenanigans

This graphic describing a new law in Flint, MI is funny enough for me to pass along, but of course I have to mention that I disapprove because I guarantee this law will be enforced unevenly against young black men...I don't see police officers arresting women for showing their thongs.

PS - the title is my code word for when I am out and see a girl in the Class A territory...not cute!

I clearly need wrinkle cream...

At work today someone said to me:

     "You remember Lyndon Johnson being President, right?"

Ummm...NO! That was over ten years BEFORE I was even born, much less old enough to know who the President was!
