Dear Body - Yeah we have a PT test Saturday so get with it! Dear Lovely - I am more than blessed to have you in my life, just sayin I'd be lost with out you. Dear Grey's - I mean come on! How many tragedies can one woman surmount and keep going? And please get Christina back to Seattle Grace. (spoke too soon she just appeared) Dear Glee - Being on while I'm at bootcamp sucks. Dear Chloe - bath time is so much fun, right? Dear Blog Friends - Thank you for being constant supporters of me, my life and my tribulations. I am thankful for all of you.

It's Ok {Confessions Edition} Thursday

  Link up and let loose with what's ok with you this week. Today my confessions edition. And in the event you need to confess in prviate, hop over to Erin at Living in Yellow for her Secrets!   It's ok.....   to look at your caller ID and decide you are not in the mood to talk and hit that red button to see hubs' caller id, see its his BFF and hit the red button before it rings to not like your job all the time to gripe about your co-workers to people who do not know them (or people who do) girl's gotta vent to realize you have more in common with people in the blog world than your "real" friends to be 30 years old and have problems with your reproduction system to eat a Skinny Cow for dinner when dinner fails, or any other dinner to cry in your closet because you no longer fit into your law school jeans to not like your husband every single minute of every day ( I mean guy's got faults) to feel like a failure sometimes to question some of the things your husband does at work or for work to wonder what like would have been like had you not ____ insert random thoughts     Ahh, I feel better now, so what's ok with you?

Deep Thoughts

Because sometime words just don't say it right, and aren't pictures worth a 1000 words?

Rock the Vote

It's election day y'all! So, get out, be heard, and vote! I'm a firm believer in if you don't vote, you don't to complain for the next 4 years! In all seriousness, no matter where you live, whether you think your vote counts or not, it does! Remember, its not just the presidential election going on. You've got everything from Congressional seats to local referendums up for grabs. Voting is what differentiates us from the rest of the world. Land of the FREE, home of the brave!

So, get out and go VOTE! Meanwhile, part of me is rather excited that I will no longer be inundated with a plethora of political ads every 30 seconds.  Now, excuse me while I get back to work while munching on the wonderful pralines I got in NOLA yesterday! Oh, and that lil oral argument, great!

What Not To Do in NOLA

Ok, so I am currently sitting in my hotel in NOLA, eating Pinkberry. Exciting right? Yeah I know where's my hurricane and beads? Nope I'm here for oral argument in the Fifth Circuit. So rather than partying it up on Bourbon street, I'm  watching a Lifetime movie and catching up on case law. Maybe tomorrow after its done, Ill done my party pants and get something yummy! So, if you've got suggestions lay em on me!

In other news, how many of you watch Lifetime movies and think how on earth do they come up with stuff? Cause I do! I mean come on, as we speak a mom is arrested for smuggling drugs in Quito.... oh did I mention she was sick with cancer and just dating this random guy who takes her to Quito? I mean come one... Or how about the copious plots that involve teens, drugs, pregnancies or teens killing people? What about the angry girlfriend or crazy nanny? I've decided that Lifetime must put random thoughts in a cup pull out three cards and say voila here's the plot! Though I admit, I may spend entire Sundays watching marathons of these movies. Hubs even gets caught in their web.

On my desk at work

The first day I got her!

Studying for the bar

This summer

Dont take my pic again mom

And in taking my pic of me happily eating my Pinkberry, I realized I take an insane amount of pics with my puppy... so here's a small recap of photos of Chloe and I.

So,  Pinkberry in bed with a Lifetime movie, sounds good to me! Happy Monday all and wish me luck!

Friday's {much needed} Confessions

In the words of Jessica at The Newly, its time for a fess sesh! Link up with Leslie and dish.

I CONFESS....

• I ate chick-fil-a and a bowl of chocolate ice cream on Halloween and only had 2 trick-or-treaters
• I ate a bundtini from Nothing Bundt Cake at 8am yesterday. It was devine.
• I was kind of excited that our trap finally worked and we caught the pesky coon eating our yard
• and then I felt bad for it because it looked so pitiful in the cage staring at me
• I am not excited to go to NOLO for the first time Sunday because its for work and I will not get to explore much more than the courthouse
• but its the Fifth Circuit so that makes it a little better
• I currently have three online baskets holding clothes, shoes and such waiting for me to buy (hubs I have not actually bought them, but would like to?)
• I workout so that I can eat yummy food
• I sometimes get annoyed by people who complain about their weight but do nothing about it.
• I've been less than nice this week to well everyone. Blame the meds.
• I thought about kidnapping the dog next door (Seinfeld style) so it would not keep me awake for the 2nd weekn in a row.
• I thought about entering Mrs. Texas for more than second. Then realized people would think I had lost it.
• All I want to do is sleep tomorrow, but its photoshoot day for my titleholders and I only a tad jealous they get pampered.
• I often feel closer to my blog friends than my friends that live let's say in my city. Thank you to all of you who have welcomed me into your lives. Even though we have never met, I feel close to you all and love all your constant support and prayers.

What's your confession?

Sometimes

Normally I would dishing about what's ok with me this week, but I would lying to myself if I decided that all was ok. Because sometimes life is just meh. Yeah I said it, meh. Not great, good, or even ok, its just meh.

Sometimes you just need to crawl in bed at 8pm with your pup (dressed as a ladybug) and watch TV.
Sometimes, no matter how you try to explain it to them, your spouse will not get your work stress.
Sometimes you just need to cry to get it out.

Sometimes you will feel all alone even when you're surrounded by people.
Sometimes eating two heaping scoops of chocolate ice cream are just what the doctor ordered.
Sometimes your hair and face will be a hot oily mess no matter what you do.
Sometimes when you are craving pumpkin cream cheese Einstein's will still be out of it.
Sometimes what you want most in the world seems to be the hardest thing to get.
Sometimes you just have to trust in God and follow the path he has set for you. (even when its hard)
Sometimes life is just meh.
