it has been a lot of fun having kim around and sharing her with my friends in arizona. i never laugh as hard or as often with anyone else. even though i almost gave myself a tracheotomy under her tutelage -- anything for the perfect photo with the bronze froggies at the desert museum. she documented our adventures in her blog but forgot to mention the hilarious video she took of me hocking a loogey on the snow-covered trail while we were hiking through the red rocks in sedona. (i think kim's memory of this may fade, but expect it will be resurrected in some form at an opportune moment, such as my wedding.) also thanks to kim, i did not have to shovel the driveway of 8 inches of snow all by myself! and we now have a favorite prescott beer: the pine tar. and i got to eat a lot of pie. woot.
otherwise i have been pretty caught up in my own life. side note: read "my life" as "my job." and read "my job" as "my clients." i got my first real case last week where a kid is actually charged with a real crime. unlike the one that landed on my desk this week -- aggravated assault for spitting in a teacher's coffee cup and watching her drink it. so there is some entertainment. i've also picked up a dependency caseload, which means i represent a lot of little babies that have been taken away from their dirtbag parents. excuse me, alleged dirtbags. last week i got to do a home visit with 2 little chipmunk-cheeked half-mexican babies, 1 of which was delighted to give me one million high-5s. the other one threw up all over my black turtleneck. his foster mom said: don't throw up on your attorney! the perfect remedy for a stressful day is to have a little baby fall asleep on your shoulder.

beer and pie..and snow shoveling...what are sisters for?
and that "perfect remedy for a stressful day" only works when the baby is not your own!
keep looking after your clients...babies to assaulting spitting kids...and, i guess, be happy your parents were not/are not alleged dirtbags-HA!
Two things that are sure to calm me down and destress me the fastest are 1) Andrew's little singing voice in the bag seat belting out the latest pop song and 2) chubby little Queenie sleeping on my shoulder. BTW, Karate is kicking my a*s. I can't walk today. But it feels good :)
i guess its only assault if somebody catches you. hmph. i didnt see anything wrong with that until now.
i will get that video of your loogie-hicking on utube as soon as i can. :)
thanks kim, i look forward to seeing it again at my senate confirmation hearings.
The worst movies are sometimes the best!! I just bought one called "Kung Fu Dunk" from the back of a random Chinese man's van, which I am really excited about! I'm thinking its the Chinese version of direct-to-video!
I love your Snakes on a Plane interpretation!!
