What I've Learned

So far this week I have learned:

*My husband won't let me put cute little bows on our little dog (that is when we get it) I mean, I even promised not to dress it if I could do the little bows - what is a little dog without cute wittle bows?

*Jury Duty although it is our civic duty and privilege is a waste of time if the judge keeps you for two days and then lets the defendant change his plea so you don't even have to be there anymore. I was looking forward to this - I know no one else agrees with me on this topic, that's okay to each their own

*I really don't like cleaning. This is odd for me since everything has to always be cleaned, and I'm always the one cleaning it all (it's not that I wouldn't have help, I just never ask for it and always do it anyway, the neat freak I tend to be - and it's getting worse, progressively)

* I L.O.V.E. my iPod. It is amazing. iTunes is greatest, much better than I thought it was - or I should say than I wanted to give it credit for.

*N.E.G.A.T.I.V.I.T.Y. is pointless and should have no point in anyones life - it doesn't get you anywhere - and it's annoying to those around you.

*I love my husbands bedtime stories even if they are about milk..ha, I love you husband of mine.

Jury Duty

I have been summoned to appear in court for Jury Duty. It's amazing to me how awkward people are around others they dont' know. I had to report today and I was rather excited about it, but before getting to the excited part there was a line, roughly, 1 mile to 1.5 miles long. It snaked around buildings, glided down sidewalks, arched up stairs until it ended on the other side of all the security. In this line of hundreds (attorneys, defendants, plantiffs, jurors like me) no one spoke on word to another. After you 'sign' in you are herded to a room full of people (approx 130 per room) once again where everybody stares at you and sits in that horrible awkward silence - there is however a couple people in a corner that know each other and are conversing, but mostly it's the rustle of newspaper and a few cell phone chimes.
