“That’s the thing about human life–there’s no control group, no way to ever know how any of us would have turned out if any variables had been changed.”
Eat Pray Love by Elizabeth Gilbert
It’s so true, isn’t it? Yet I play the “what if” game in my mind until I work myself into a tizzy.

When I think I know what to expect at work for a given week, that's when I should pinch myself because it will change! #
Really tired, but need to work a bit more tonight. CLE tomorrow for newbie lawyers. Not sure why but I'm looking forward to it. #
And just for the record, I'd rather [...]

Very excited that I only have to get up at 6 am two more days and then I can sleep in. #
http://twitpic.com/15izt5 – Indy premiere of Winning Time: Reggie Miller vs. The New York Knicks #
Watching Winning Time in a basketball arena in Indy was probably the best way to see it. Just fabulous! Thanks [...]

Best of luck to tweeps prepping for the bar exam next week!!! #

Ever have one of those days at work where the morning and afternoon are so different that it hardly feels like the same day? #
And when did Valentine's Day get to be 4 days away? That means White Castle in four days. Me and @bcalhoon are keeping it classy folks!! #
Thanks to Michael Krol, I [...]

Bazinga! #
You guys! LOST premieres tomorrow!!!!!!! It will be the motivation I need to work super hard tomorrow. LOST will be the reward! #
Why are doctors offices always so cold? #
I love Lost even though I don't understand it. #
Obvious career advice no 479: spell your co-worker's name correctly in a document. I can't believe [...]

How is it already time for bed? #
It is bordering on irrational how much I want an iPad after reading a bit about it over lunch. I blame my love for the iPhone. #
How is tomorrow Thursday already? On tap for tomorrow: research, writing, & calling the assessor to get info on my 2 mo [...]

Crescent Rolls baked with Boursin FTW. Nomz #
Learning about Ohio valley food from @MandyKTD. Really makes me want to eat some french fries, which apparently come on some salads! #
Exhausted. May not be able to stay up for Project Runway tonight. BoooHissssss. #
When asking B about a reversed call, I almost asked him if [...]

Sue gave me a fun Christmas gift: Popcorn of the Month Club for three months. The first shipment arrived on Friday night containing four huge bags of Aunt Em’s Gourmet Popcorn. Aunt Em’s is based in central Illinois and the flavors were: kettle corn, cheddar, cheddar ranch, and salted white popcorn.  The review [...]

Yeah, I can’t believe how long it’s been either. Since I blogged last, I did the following: celebrated Thanksgiving, put up two Christmas trees, worked a bunch, got sick (twice), went to Milwaukee for work, went to Vegas over Christmas, ate the best meal of my life (it’s been a kick ass eating year), [...]

Had yet another fabulous cut & color at Salon Orange Moon–the highlight of my day (and not just b/c I got highlights). Thanks @somteam8! #
It's 9:30 and I'm exhausted like it's past midnight. WTH?! Going to bed early, even though I brought work home. #
I can't wrap my head around the scope of the damage [...]

OMG! Popcorn of the month club!!!! (my reaction to a Christmas gift I got today). #
This week has been a wee bit rough. I actually thought: "I miss bar review." Mama needs a nap. #
I'm kind of liking the snow. It was quiet at work today because of it! Peeps in the 'burbs didn't want [...]
