Friday Confessional {Getting to Know Me More}

Hallelujah. hear the angels sing, its Friday! I've got a busy weekend, with a baby shower for my friend K, 90th Bday party for the coolest Nannie around and gotta get some work done on the house! But, before all that, I am back linking up with the ever lovely Leslie for another round of getting to know you, confessional style!
1. What's your middle name? Marie.

2. If you could live anywhere else in the world where would you live? I would so go back to London. I lived there during my senior year of college. I did an internship at the American Church in London and fell IN.LOVE. The town, the shopping, the tube (hey who wants to drive); and the history!

3. Tell us about your guilty pleasures. It comes in the form of chocolate that resides on my paralegals desk.... just 5 M&M's right?

 4. What do you like best about your job? If you weren't doing that, what career would you have pursued? I work with amazing people! Seriously, blessed to call my colleagues friends. I have the best mentor attorneys who truly have an interest in making me a better lawyer, I work with two great paralegals who do just about whatever I need, my secretary, well she rocks! This woman has been here 30+ years and cranks out work like its nothing. Not to mention she is caring, sweet and always knows when you need a hug. BUT.... if I weren't I lawyer, I would either go back to working for my alma mater doing events, or open that bakery I talked about last week.

5. Five items you'd grab during a fire. (People and pets don't count. Those are a given.)
 - laptop
 - purse (the LV)
 - phone
 - kindle
 - photo album

6. Marathon running...something you'd like to pursue or just plain crazy? Yes, I want to do the Disney one!

7. If you could only eat one meal for the rest of your life, what would it be? Pancakes!!

8. Last person you spoke to...annnnnd....go! our office manager about being left out of all the fun things the staff does

9. Favorite childhood toy: my pound puppy Jamie who went everywhere with me

Exhibit A

 10. Breakfast cereal of choice: Multigrain Cheerio's! mixed with some other nut-based cereal like the new Quaker one that is like their granola bars!

Confessional {Getting to Know You} Friday

It's Friday ya'll and this week, instead of dishing out our confessions, we're playing a little game of getting to know you. So, link up with the ever lovely Leslie from A Blonde Ambition and get to know your neighbors, err bloggers!
1. Your name

hmmm, I am somewhat anonymous on here,  but a lot of you now "know" me, so Hi, my name is Lynn.


2. Where you're from

I was born in The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, in the small town of Clarion.

Or, if you are more familiar with PA

3. What do you do with your days?

I would love to say I am blogger, crafter, baker extraordinaire, however, I spend my days as a lawyer. I do civil defense work (mostly insurance defense, some construction and  lil smattering of landlord/tenant)

4. Tell us about your family.

I have one brother, who has a wonderful son (my nephew). Here we are!

I also have one of those maternal ladies, ya know a mom! She lives in a small town outside a well-known placed where a certain gaggle of Aggies can be found.

I also am blessed with a wonderful "adopted" family of sorts that includes V&D and my Aunt K. Not quite sure how I got so lucky to have these people in my life, but man I thank my stars everyday for them.

Oh, and I suppose if you want to know, I have a rather large consortium of aunts & uncles (my mom is the oldest of 7) and cousins, most of whom I cannot remember their names, opp sorry fam)

And.... I have these two ladies whom I refer to as my kids.

5. What are your dreams and goals?

Oh lordy, big question. This may seem silly, but I want to get married again and have kids. (yeah, if you're new around here, you can read about the Big D), I would like to make partner at my firm but secretly, I want to open a bakery/café that sells homemade food that is healthier for you. And I would like to win the lottery, pay off my house and buy a boat. No biggie.
6. Why did you start blogging?

I started blogging way back in August 2011 after I graduated from law school, got married, bought a house, took the bar exam and started as a law associated. But here we are January 2014 and I am still at it. Now, its been about the Big D, starting over, buying and maintaining my house and my faith journey.

 7. Maybe tell us some random facts!

* Hmm, I am a former titleholder with the Miss Texas Scholarship Program.

* I have never been skiing
*I have been more places overseas than in the US


2005 when I lived in London

*I own two LV purses and one pair of Christian Louboutin's that I bought with my first lawyer paycheck and I never wear them for fear of ruining them.
* I could live on the beach with a book in my hand and a tan on my skin!

Hope you all enjoyed this lil rendition of Confessional Friday! Ya'll come back now!
