All day, or at least the majority of the day, I have honestly been in vacation mode. Southern Florida will do that to a person. Today we went to look at some real estate with a great agent. He was not only helpful, but he was also very understanding of our needs. Basically, we don't …

The Anniversary Trip
So today we are headed out to Naples, Florida for our anniversary. Southwest Airlines was having a huge sale several months ago, so we were able to book flights and stay four days for less than $900. It was a bargain, and it fit the bil perfectly - beach, warm weather, ocean, sand, and no …
My Protector Dog
I lost a good friend today, one who was there for me when I needed her most. She lived with someone else, and had for about 6 years, but in the 4 years I had her, she loved me more than anyone else ever has. Her name was Gracie and she was a Weimeraner. We …
We’re Not Gonna Take It
Funny how music can change a mood, isn't it? About four years ago, we were trying to figure out whether we wanted to stay in our house or sell it an buy something else. The house we had was my husband's before we married, and he had actually lived there with his ex-wife when they …
Amazingly, the Note I Wrote Didn’t Say No
So, I wrote a note at work. I said "yes, we can do this for you" in a roundabout way. I never even insinuated that I meant "no," but apparently I didn't write YES in huge red letters, so that was taken for a no. WTH? Yes, this actually happened this week. I wrote a …
And The Deal-io
Here's the deal-io. We have a gunner in our class. This gunner talks about a subject almost completely unrelated to the subject of the class. None of us are really sure how the gunner's topic fits into class, but we haven't given up trying to figure it out just yet. It would be different if …
Insurance Companies and Their Stupid Decisions
I think most insurnace companies make stupid decisions, or at least several of the ones with which I've had the pleasure of dealing, did. Instance #1: We backed into a mailbox in a driveway at a house we were looking to buy. The mailbox repairs were $600 as it was one of those brick mailboxes …

I Am Inspired By My Friends
I have such wonderful friends. They inspire me on a daily basis to not only be a better person but to keep reaching for my goals. Today, the results of the Arkansas Bar Exam were released. I had so many friends who passed! I also had a few who did not. The latter is the …
Getting Motivated
Yesterday, I attended the GetMotivated seminar here in my city. There were about 17,000 people there, and it was really good. I truly enjoyed it, and I loved the presenters. There are some naysayers out there who say that these seminars are only there to make you buy their products. I have to say that …
Part-Timers have More Fun (or Responsibility), Depending on How You Look at It
As a part-time law school student with a 40-hour per week job and family, it is really distressing to hear the full-time, no-job, no-family folks talk about how hard their lives are (whine) and how much they have accomplished (brag). Really? Let's try this for example: I get up every morning at 6:30am. I get …
