No Worry Vacations

My parents are fans of all inclusive vacations and have gone on many, ranging from Spain to France to Mexico to Italy and Turkey. They love them, because they pay for the trip, and everything is taken care of. The flight, the hotel, the food, and the side trips. They get to travel with people similar in age and interests. They don't have to worry about anything. Of course, they are not cheap, but they don't mind paying the price to not have to worry about anything. I hope they take me on one someday!

The Kind Of Law I Want To Practice

I am not practicing law full time, even though I have taken a few clients on the side. But it hasn't been much. Where do I want to go from here? Boy, the world is wide open. The areas I am interested in are juvenile guardian ad litem, employment law, social security disability, and libel, slander, and defamation. Those are the areas that hold my interest. I might also be interested in probate. Criminal--now sure. I doubt it, but then sometimes I think that it would be fun. Like flying by the seat of your pants. I'm just glad I have the law degree--it has given me a lot of new options.

I Love Lost!

My favorite TV show now is Lost. I never watched it on regular TV, because it was on during a bad night while I was in law school. I got on the ABC website a few weeks ago and discovered that you can watching their shows online. So I have been catching up on the past seasons. I am now midway through season three. I have two and a half seasons to go before the show starts its final season in January. I love the show--it is so creative. If I were stranded on an island, I would want to be stranded with such an interesting group. In addition to just trying to survive, they do fun things like create a golf course, and just a few shows ago they built a ping pong table and found a ball. Hugo played Sawyer and won. Because he lost, Sawyer could not call anyone by a nickname for a week.

My Cat Poops In The Bathtub!

I hate to be so blunt, but it is true! Luckily I have two bathtubs, and it is not the one I use. I started out with a regular litterbox, but she would fling the litter around on the floor so much, I got one of the hooded varieties. That prevented the flinging, but that is when she started poopin in the tub! I googled this phenomenon and found out that this is not that unusual--that some cats do do this (no pun intended) all of their lives. I hope she is not one of them. After several weeks of this icky behavior, I went back to one of the regular litterboxes again. She is now flinging the litter, but hopefully there will be no more poop in the tub. Thank goodness she is cute and otherwise sweet.

Where To Go On Vacation?

I have two friends I may travel with in the next year. And they both like the beach, so we might check into some North Carolina beaches and myrtle beach vacation rentals. I haven't been to Myrtle Beach in a long time! I used to go there a lot when I was in college, but now the beach closest to me is Destin. But I wouldn't mind going back to N.C. I also hear Wrightsville Beach is nice.

Don't Want To Get Paranoid

But I haven't heard from new guy on match today or yesterday. We had a long conversation the other day. It was great! Found out we used to work at the same big company. We haven't met yet, so don't know that the chemistry is there. I think he is a little on the hefty side, so that may be a negative. So am I, but I am going to get in shape. Hope he is too. But, that is jumping the gun. He knew my mother was going to have surgery, and he didn't write to see how it turned out???? Don't want to get paranoid, but don't you think he would write to ask how she is? If he was interested in me? Don't get paranoid......

Buying Jewelry For Christmas Presents

I love jewelry, but I don't wear it very often. I went to an art sale a few months ago, and bought a very nice ring there for about $30. It looks much more expensive. I wear it everyday and love it! You would call it Contemporary Jewelry. I like it so much, I am going to try to go to some other places where the jewelry maker will be showing her items. I may buy a similar ring for my niece and maybe a bracelet for a friend of mine.
