New Resolutions

Couldn't pass this one up!It’s almost 2008, and time to start making that list of New Year’s Resolutions. I am trying to make mine a little bit difficult so that I can stretch myself, but vague enough so that I can still say I have accomplished them at the end of the year. Here they are:

Learn Italian and get my passport. Rob and I have been saving up points for years to pay for a flight to Europe, and this may be our year. I made it my 100 Day Challenge to learn Italian, but it all sort of fizzled after about 30 days. Time to try again.

Establish and calendar a monthly family activity. If it’s on the calendar for one Saturday each month it’s more likely to happen. (Hunter is our calendar enforcer)

Read my new scriptures daily. After 11 years of marriage I finally got (Rob picked them out and gave them to me for Christmas) a set of beautiful scriptures with my married name on them. I thought I’d wait a decade to make sure it would stick. 😉

Compliment each member of the family daily. This doesn’t take much time, but sometimes I get to the end of the day and wonder if my kids know how much I love them.

Go up and down my stairs 15 times daily. Sometimes I do this anyway, but it was the only exercise thing I could think of that didn’t take too much time or preparation so I won’t have an excuse not to do it.

What is one of yours?

Big Law Blah Blog

Introducing a new place to vent for the families of attorneys! I started this blog today, and I hope it will be a good place for people in my situation to get together, laugh, cry, and compare notes. I have had a few people take particular interest in my posts regarding firm life, and thought there must be others out there with stories to share, or just wanting to know they’re not alone in this crazy profession. I’d like to open it up to a whole community of authors, so let me know if you’re involved with law and have something to say!

Merry Christmas!

We had a wonderful Christmas, and the three gifts turned out great!  Here are the kids “trapped” in their rooms so there would be no peeking, another one of our family traditions.  The rule was no waking up Mom and Dad until the sun is up.  I heard excited voices around 6:00 am, but didn’t get the wake up call until 6:30.
