Needing A New Dining Table
I am wanting a new dining table. Just don't have the money for it right now, but am starting to look around. I like some of the small, squarish dining tables--think they are called cafe tables. Not sure about that. I might want to get a smaller type of table that is actually an extendable dining table. I have a small condo and don't have much room, but would like on occasion to have dinner parties. So an extendable table would work for me. Another item for the wish list! At some point, I probably need a new sofa and a new chest and desk for my guest room, but those are on the list too!
I Love My Dell Mini
I have a Toshiba laptop that I used in law school. It served me well, but I had so many problems with it. It was slow, it would overheat, and I had to take it in for work too many times. I still have it, but I only use it as back up for my mini. Before I bought my Dell, I researched different laptops and decided that a netbook would probably suffice. I actually love it--it is small and lightweight, and I can even put it in a large purse. I haven't tried to download heavy duty software, so I don't know how that would work. That might make my mini slow and probably would work better on a more powerful computer. But so far so good. I love the flexibility it offers me.

My Former English Boyfriend
I met a sexy Englishman in Paris, and we were an item for several years. We are not anymore, but are still friends, even facebook friends! He works in construction, and I remember trying to figure out how to get him some construction jobs here in the U.S. I thought I had some leads, but it all came to naught. He reallly wasn't going to move here or quit his job. And that was probably OK. But I am glad we are friends.
What Do You Do If Your Boss Is Creepy?
I don't mean creepy in the serial killer way, but creepy in the micromanaging way. Eek. He gives me the creeps and makes my skin crawl. And oh yeah. I happen to be related to him. Lucky me. I am looking for other work, but hard in this economy.
I Love My Disability Practice
I have been licensed as a lawyer for a year and I now have my third disability client. I won for my first client on a disability appeal, and that was so satisfying! I now have two other clients. I was hoping the second one would get approved before going before a judge, but no go. We are hearing bound. I have a third client, but her case has hardly gotten off the ground. I would love to get more clients, and I spread the word as much as possible. I love helping people get their disibility benefits!
Why Do I Love The Real Housewives?
I love all of the Real Housewives series. Except Atlanta. I never saw the original season, and for some reason, I can't get into it. I think it is because I don't know the back stories. But I love all of the other series. I am watching Beverly Hills right now. I guess I am just a voyeur. I love to peek into other peoples' lives.
Getting Crazy For Business Opportunities
I used to work at a business school and boy howdy, I was exposed to people coming up with business opportunities all the time. It was so exciting to see people come up with new business plans all of the time and make boat loads of money. They acquired a toolkit in school that they could use in any setting.
That environment rubbed off on me, and I went into business. But now that I am blogging, and it has become a business, I can tell that I am more aware of business opportunities. There are so many exciting things out there and ways to be entrepreneurial. I feel like I am only starting on my business journey.
