  • Do you ever have one of those days where you feel like you are jumping
    around trying to put out little fires, before all those little fires
    can combine into one huge conflagration?

    I’ve had two weeks like that.

    And really, I shouldn’t be taking the time to update right now, but I
    am almost completely brain-fried and need a few minutes to get my head
    back together.

    On the 11th Hubby and I went to Twin Falls, Idaho for a conference
    about Bankruptcy law.  The conference was enjoyable, and I learned
    a whole lot (including learning that I may not be practicing bankruptcy
    law after the new statute takes effect.  It is some bad stuff,
    man!)  On Friday the 13th we went to Jackpot, Nevada with some of
    the other conference attendees.  It was fun, but definitely an
    unlucky day.  I couldn’t win a single hand of blackjack to save my
    life, and Hubby couldn’t seem to hit anything on the slots
    either.  Still, we had a good time.

    We drove to Twin Falls - it is about a 9 hour drive.  It made for
    a VERY long trip.  We enjoy traveling together that way, but that
    meant we left on Wednesday and came back on Sunday…so I was away from
    my office for three days.

    And when I got back?  Things were nutso.  I’ve got new
    clients coming in all the time, and I’ve been over at the courthouse
    filing papers nearly every day for the past two weeks.  The phone
    keeps ringing and ringing and ringing.

    Oh yes, it is busy.  This is not me bitching, even though it may
    sound like that.  I am glad to be very busy - it means the office
    is doing well.  Just some days, I get tired of jumping from crisis
    to crisis.

    We saw “Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy” a few weeks ago.  It was
    very enjoyable.  I adore Alan Rickman.  He did a PERFECT job
    as Marvin the Depressed Robot.

    We also saw Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith  on the 20th.  No,
    we didn’t go on opening day…but we did go the day after.  It was
    GOOD.  I really enjoyed it, for the most part.  Natalie
    Portman was annoying, and I was glad that I wouldn’t have to hear her
    whining again after her character died.  And the end of the movie
    was really really really great.

    *sigh*  I certainly hope that this was not the last Star Wars
    movie.  I know George Lucas has said that he’s not going to make
    another one…but I’d really like to see some more.

    In other news, my tailbone has healed completely.  Hooray!!

    alone, you're never alone. Not here you're not. Okay, break's over.”
