Time To Get Cooking!

Apparently I've been bit by a shopping bug, but not the usual chick shopping bug. I've been bit by the grocery shopping bug.

I don't know what has sparked this, but I've been to the grocery shopping store twice today and I'm not even preparing any meals. I just can't seem to stay away and I keep buying more and more. I swear, if anyone looked in our cupboards and freezers you would think we were a family of seven, not two. We even have two full gallons and one partial gallon of milk.

Since we are so stocked I guess it is time to get cooking!

It Is Official

Today has been an exciting day!! First I woke up really early this morning to catch some of The Royal Wedding. Did you watch? I thought it was beautiful and romantic and definitely at the level of a storybook fairy tail. I just adore both Duke & Duchess William & Kate! Even though I was up before the crack of dawn I was still a little late to work. Opps. I place the blame on the Royal Family. Ha!

For the first time this week I actually got a little work done today, but 20 minutes before I was scheduled to leave the big boss man came by and told me to leave so I could get ready for my swearing in. He didn't have to tell me twice. I closed up shop, called my boss and told her that her boss' boss told me I could go, and hit the road.

I got home and discovered my son was in a horrible mood and considered canceling my ceremony, but luckily he shaped up by the time we entered the courtroom. And within minutes with only one slip up I was officially sworn into the State Bar!! I was so nervous and very happy that it was finally done! So now it is official...I'm a real attorney! And through it all I was reminded of how great a life I really do have! I'm surrounded by the most loving and wonderful friends and families and am so grateful for each and everyone of them even if they do drive me crazy from time to time.

After the ceremony I definitely had a few drinks and by the time I got back in the car and looked in the mirror I realized that my eye makeup was practically half-way down my face. This is usually a sign that I've had a few drinks. Apparently the alcohol makes my mascara and eyeliner runny!! Now I'm home, exhausted and doing laundry. How quickly everything goes back to normal.

The Next Step Already?!?

Apparently the next step in my life is getting sworn in so I can get my P# to practice. I would have thought I would have gotten one day off from questions, but I didn't. All conversations went as such, "Congratulations! When are you being sworn in?" Um, hello?!? I've known for a milli-second that I passed. Let me have a moment!

Of course the weather situation isn't helping either. Constant rain for the week isn't the weather I want when I'm going off to be sworn in. I know...priorities!

Happy Easter!!

It is rainy & 46 degrees outside this Easter morning.

The eggs left for EB (a/k/a the Easter Bunny) to hide were white due to lack of participation by the munchkin who announced after dinner last night, "I'm tired. Mom, can you color the eggs?" I asked him if he thought it would be okay if EB just hid white eggs. He found that acceptable. I was happy too, because I was equally exhausted.

I had to get up early this morning to make sure EB hadn't skipped our house and get my carrots over to make honey glazed carrots! I figured I probably needed to start laundry too and get the house ready for Easter dinner. So at 7am I had my carrots over, I confirmed EB remembered our house, started laundry and started getting the house ready for our guests.

I hope everyone has a beautiful Easter today!!

PASSED!!!!

Just a quick update... I got my bar results tonight and I passed!! Thank God.

Getting my results was an ordeal that I survived thanks to my LSBFF, my aunt, my munchkin, & my man! I love you guys! It is definitely post worthy, but not tonight!!!

Wishful Thinking...

Forty-eight hours of silence. No calls, no emails, no people. Me, silence, a beach, and a never empty drink...that's it! Apparently this is too much to ask for!!

Recovering From Surgery One Day At A Time

Each day I feel stronger and stronger. I'm definitely not back 100%, but I'm hoping by tomorrow I'll be up to leave the house, finally! Well since I have to pick the munchkin up from school tomorrow afternoon I guess I won't have much of a choice.

Of course I originally hoped that this weekend I would get tons accomplished while I was home recovering from my surgery and so far all I have accomplished is getting lots of sleep and ordering my graduation regalia. Everything else has stayed on the sidelines as I regain my strength. Yet again I over estimated my abilities, but taking vicodin has helped me cope.

Surviving Surgery

A few years back my now former OB/GYN discovered a peri-ovarian cyst on my right side. It gave me no problems whatsoever. We monitored over the next couple of years and then almost a year ago he pushed me to have it removed, because the cyst was continuing to grow. With getting ready to enter my final semester in law school and then planning to go straight into studying for the bar I couldn't "fit" the surgery into my schedule, which pissed my former OB/GYN off, so I fired him and I scheduled an appointment with a new OB/GYN two days after finishing the bar.

My new OB/GYN did another ultrasound and discovered that the cyst was still growing and suggested that we go ahead and remove it. My surgery was scheduled for April 8th at 11:30am. So yesterday I went in for my surgery with the plan to drain and remove my cyst. By yesterday afternoon I came out of surgery to learn that things were worse than we expected. The cyst and my ovary were wrapping around one another and they both had to be removed.

Over 24 hours later I'm definitely bruised, battered, sore, and exhausted, but I'm home and recovering with one ovary still intact. My biological clock is happy that I should still be able to have more babies in the future...
