Mr. Teddy
The armchair I bought yesterday arrived at my office today and is sitting next to the cute little table I also purchased yesterday. I now have a reading nook. It is warm and cozy and everything a law firm office probably shouldn’t be. It certainly doesn’t send the message of Big Mean Litigator (of course, being 5’2″ and sounding somewhat like a valley girl doesn’t help). In a moment of insanity, I also contemplated getting a stuffed teddy bear to occupy the armchair, but then I thought better of it. I’d like to be taken seriously as an attorney. A stuffed dog would clearly be much more professional.
Went hiking this weekend. Because of the rain earlier in the week, I was knee-deep in mud for most of the hike. (I feel safe in making this statement only because the friend I went hiking with virtually never reads this blog and will therefore not be able to quibble about whether the mud was knee-deep or, say, barely enough to get my shoes slightly dirty.)
As for the rest of the weekend: Tried to see a movie. Unsuccessfully. Bought the black purse I’ve been wanting forever (will graciously spare you the details about my beautiful new purse). Made turkey chili, one of the few things I make well. Bought office furniture (see first paragraph). Went to a cardio kickboxing class at my new gym. Did some weights. By the way, never follow up an hour long kickboxing class and a weights session with a three and a half hour hike. I realized when I woke up Sunday morning that it’s all too easy to take simple things, like being able to move ones limbs, for granted.
(*Yawn*)
Okay, even I’m getting bored of this entry. I’ll stop now. Night all. (*Wanders off*)
