Civic Duty

So I did my civic duty today - I postponed my jury duty. :-) Hehehe...I wonder how long they let you put it off? I got called first in September, which, come on, I'm a teacher. 'Cause THAT is a fabulous time to take two weeks off of school. So I postponed it until December which was as far back as I could push it. I got the reminder notice today and promptly postponed it again - so now I have to show right after school gets out. I'm actually interested in it - the whole process and such. And who's to say I wouldn't get an interesting case? (I've watched way too many crime dramas. I can totally see myself yelling "Objection!" in the middle of a trial.) Anyway, I will be officially performing that duty in the summer. And I won't postpone it again. I promise. ;-)

Tomorrow's turkey day. A friend of mine asked if I was cooking.

(Forgive me, I'm still convulsing with laughter.)

Ahh, that's better. Actually, my response was, "That's what family is for!" That and I don't need a case of mass poisoning on my record. I don't think I would ACTUALLY poison anyone, but since I can't seem to multitask to save my life when it comes to the kitchen (I can't ever seem to keep the macaroni and cheese noodles from boiling over onto my stovetop, especially if I'm working on something else too) I think it's safer for everyone that I put off spending all day in the kitchen as long as possible. That and I'd probably leave the giblets in the turkey.

But Emma gets to wear her ADORABLE new outfit that I bought especially for the holidays - a beautiful aqua blue sweater with matching tulle skirt (WITH GLITTER!). This is the whole reason I wanted a girl. For the GLITTER!

I know, I know. I have always made a point of saying that I'm not all about the girly stuff. I'm such a lying piece of crap. hehehehe... Seriously? I played with My Little Ponies and Barbies growing up. I loved horses. I wore nothing but dresses until fourth grade. Can I help that I like THE GLITTER? It's GLITTER! It's SPARKLY!

...begin mini-rant...(Scott is always wondering what to get me for gifts and such and he usually doesn't end up getting me anything because I tell him not to or that I don't want him to spend the money. And he actually listens to me. Bastard. One word - diamonds. That's all. Seriously, he could take some initiative and ignore me one of these days. Don't ask, just do it. 'Cause if you ask I'll tell you not to spend the money. If you just do it I'll be so entranced by the GLITTER SPARKLY that you won't even get yelled at. And there might even be a little extra thrown in. Just sayin'.)...end mini rant...

So yeah. GLITTER! Just typing that makes me smile. Dude, that mini rant totally threw off my train of thought and now all I want to do is go in Emma's room and pull out her little aqua tulle skirt and stare at the GLITTER!

I am SO posting pictures tomorrow. Betcha can't wait - I can't!

GLITTER!
