Sunday Social

How did you come up with your blog name?


Well, I love the movie Legally Blonde, and since I am a blonde lawyer, I found ironic!

What is your favorite thing about blogging?


Getting to express myself in a forum that other people enjoy as well as meeting/making new friends.

What is one thing you have discovered because of blogging and now can't live without?


Gemma Kidd Showstopper bronzing lotion. Found it via my friend Jessika at Stand Still Look Pretty. It's ahmazzing, especially when I needed to wear a skirt at work and didn't want to look like Casper.


Facebook or Twitter?


Well, I like Facebook b/c of pictures, but Twitter keeps me posted with real time news, sports, weather...

If one celeb read your blog who would you want it to be? 

Def, Reese Witherspoon b/c of the name of my blog and well I love her style.

What is something you want people to know about your blog?


I know that sometimes my posts are boring law related, and for some of you , you have no clue what I'm talking about. I also know my blogs are pretty random sometimes and have no point, but I kind of approach it like this: hmmm what to blog about... oh yeah that sounds cool... Enjoy, but hey I take suggestions!


So, happy Sunday all, be sure to link up with Neely and Amber each Sunday for our little meet & greet!

Confessional Friday {link up}

Forgive me Father blogworld for I  have sinned....

• I confess my hubs just signed up for Twitter and I'm a tad scared for him to see my tweets
• I confess that I may have spent a good 20 minutes staring at my computer yesterday willing a motion to sever to write itself
• I confess that I am no clue how to write an amended answer to am amended petition that has not changed (and who amends a petition w/ little to no change?)
• I confess I went into Loft yesterday to redeem my gifts cards and spent way more than I planned on
• I confess that my nails look really bad right now and I have no one or thing to blame except myself
• I confess that the text that I just got from my best friend just made this Friday a whole lot better (how does she know that I need her at exactly the right moment?)
• I confess that sometimes Chloe drives me nuts... I know I have not been home all day and you want to play, but mommy is tired... so just roll over and I will gladly rub your tummy, let's just not play ball
• I confess that I need new black heels, but instead I just used black sharpie... like new!
• I confess that I have not kept track of my diet this week but have stayed on track... (which angers me when I am stict and manage to gain...)
• I confess I have slept in the Cubs shirt hubs got me in Chitown all week...

Confess, believe me it feels so good!

It's Ok Thursday {link up}

I love this link up for several reasons. 1. It's courtesy of some Texas gals. 2. It means tomorrow is Friday. 3. It allows me to vent! So link up  because... It's ok

• to think Miley is too young to be engaged and the marriage will undoubtedly end quickly
• to have road rage every once in a while
• to bring your dog to the airport to pick up your husband when its night (or any time)
• to get upset with your hubs at the gym at 5am because you are tired and he seems to have forgotten that while he was away you  had to man the house without him in the rain with power outages...
• to text him afterward and tell him you are sorry and the make up will be worth it
• to wear a sweater and pants and have your heater on in your office in June in Texas because its -12 in your office
• to play off of your beauty in a man-dominated profession (who said its wrong to be a woman?)
• to google a point of law before you charge the client for westlaw or lexis
• that I am going to pretend that my latte is non-fat even though I know I saw the lady use 2 % milk....
• that I spent hours researching the wrong thing when I find the right thing by accident

What's OK with you this week?

When Work Attacks

I have a love/hate relationship with my job, well rather my job has a love/hate relationship with my body. File folders have killed my cuticles. Stress has chipped away my nails. Stress has also caused me to eat (ok well I know its hasn't forced me too, but emotional eating happens and we do have cake for birthdays... yes blame the birthday cake). Brain drain has depleted my sense of humor and random pieces of law have overtaken my thoughts. I quote statutes not movies and people ask me questions and my internal billable clock begins. Driving home I see torts and negligence, in my home I see the same. That wet spot in the grocery store... negligence? The plane crash on the news, the derailment of a train... The street widening project by my house is not just good, its condemnation in action!

They say law school teaches you to think different, but practicing law makes you react differently. But the best part is finding the perfect case after hours of researching or getting a great judgment for your client. Yes I love my job, but sometimes I'm not a fan of what it does to me!

When the Hubs is Away...

The wife:

• takes the trash out
• gets up 15 minutes earlier so she can take the dog out
• opens the gate
• closes the gate
• must remember to:
• lock the door
• turn up the A/C
• close the door to the dining room
• open the doggie door
• close the garage
• takes the dog out before bed
• eats Lean Cuisine pizza for dinner
• feeds the dog a snow cone
• mows, weed eats, edges (ok maybe not that, but I could if I needed too)
• has dinner with her girlfriends
• gets her nails done
• paints the dog's nails
• wakes up every 10 minutes to weird noises outside
• takes baton to bed in case of intruder (and then forgets its next to bed and trips over it in morning and face plants)
• misses husband like mad!

Will play....

Men v. Women

Just had to throw these out there. Happy Monday ya'll!

Friday's Letters

Dear Hubs - Don't worry I will handle everything while you travel for work again. Dear Chloe - Not sure if I am proud that learned how to open the door to the dining room or upset that you broke out! Dear Work - Seriously I'm not ready this for. Dear Big Girl Panties - I've been wearing you a lot lately and I am not in the least bit happy about it. So this weekend back in the drawer you go, its all about my inner child! Dear Hubs - Love the Cubs gear you got me in Chicago! Besos mi amor! Dear Past Associate - Please come back to work as I am not ready to be you, nor can I hope to be as good as you. Dear Body - Yeah so I have been working out extra hard, watching what I eat so can those last 3 pounds please go away now? Dear baby birds in my Boston Fern - I check on you everyday so keep growing.
