Went to court this morning, since I was called. Yep, you guessed it. I am sitting on a f-ing jury. Oh and it isn't just a day oh no! It is 3 or 4 days! This has royally messed up my work schedule PLUS I had to go to jury duty and then work! Same thing tomorrow. Then I have people that are coming to help at my store. Ugh! LONG DAYS! Here was my day. Yep I am going to bore you with it.
I woke up, jumped in the shower, got ready, drove to Murfreesboro, stood in a courtroom because there was nowhere to sit, got my name called to go into the jury pool, sat through voir dire (fancy way of saying jury pickin'), got freakin' chosen, went to lunch, listened to testimony, had an extremely long "15" minute break, an hour and 15 minutes later finally went back into the courtroom, listened to more testimony, got dismissed (all of the above happened between 8 and 5), I went to work, closed my store at 9, and came home. Yep that was the looooooooong day.

250?! WOW! How many more days until the end of the year?
Duh duh dunnnnnnn....This is post 250! Crazy!
I was totally exhausted yesterday. I went to jury duty early yesterday morning. I did not get picked, but I did go straight to work after. I worked 10 hours yesterday....or was it 11? Hmmm. Either way it was a very long day! THEN I had to go get my hubby from his sister's house ALL the way out in Springfield. He took our nephew to the zoo AND gave him his Sophie that he LOVES! YAY!
I was totally planning on going to work today until I woke up around 11. I also took into account that I have to work everyday until next Friday without a day off. I went to the theater instead. We saw Machete. We also saw Going the Distance. Yes, we snuck in to that one of course! What kind of blog would this be if I wasn't a little daring every now and then! I totally thought we got caught this time though! This guy came into count twice. I thought for sure they were going to ask all of us for our tickets. There was only like 5 people in there! Oh how I love going to the theater during the week in the early afternoon. Oh! Machete was ehhhh (totally not my idea for a movie), but Going the Distance was pretty good!
We were talking about going to Live on the Green tonight, but we didn't. Tonic and Five for Fighting were there! It was free! It is every Thursday night from now until mid October. Similar to Dancin' in the District for those of you who partook (?) in that.
We are planning on going to the State Fair tomorrow night. Jack really wants to go, since it is the last time it will be at the fairgrounds. They are going to bulldoze that area and put condos and a shopping center there. Sad right? Make sure you hit it up! I just wonder what they are going to do with the flea market after they do that....rrrrrrr
Dear California,
I miss your swapmeets! I really do! I wish I could fly there on the weekends just to go to them! What I don't miss about you is that I could never drive down a road that had no lights around whatsoever. Last night I was driving to get Jack, and I could have pulled off of the side of the road and turned off my lights to see all of the stars. I couldn't have done that while I was with you.

Found it!
Here is the post in its entirety. I thought ya'll would appreciate it (especially my funny husband's input at the time). I am going to cross off the items I have done! Some of them are pretty simple, but at the time I had just ditched a boyfriend who wasn't very entertaining (we dated for 4 years)
Well I just finished up my Lesson Plan. You can see it here. I think it is pretty good...
Well it is Thursday!! Tomorrow is Friday....I sing this joyously. I went over to Annie's apartment last night even though I should have been at the library working on my papers.....tonight..definitely tonight. Gotta do it.
This is for Bubba.
It was the first time and it was the smallest, but it was the most interesting thing it was sweet and sour all in one. I'm sorry I threw it in the trash, but it just wasn't that great. I'll give you credit though I was forewarned...LOL.
This is for Jack upon request:
Jack is a really sweet guy. He is not an asshole by far, but can be a smart ass....which can be a good quality and is in him. I enjoy his company. He never fails to make me smile and laugh about something goofy. For example: "Do dogs think dog poo stinks?" "Or do people know that bologna is actually in liquid form before it is made?" These are just some of the random questions I have been asked. They always make me laugh. Oh and I especially loved this one, "I miss my Mustang LOL." That one truly brightened the day. I love the fact that I can daydream about someone while sitting in a boring class or sitting at a stop light. I love the fact that even though I am at work he will still call...that always makes me smile. These two smiley faces always make me think of him LOL.
I would just like to say that this is all still very true! He is my favorite person. He always makes me laugh and now we ask each other random questions. I love to make him laugh even more though because knowing that I can make someone as funny as him laugh makes me feel like a million bucks. Also, now when he calls me at work I always get the sudden urge to pee. HA!
At this time I would like to post a few of those before I die items:
::Shuffling papers it is here somewhere...........five minutes later......Here it is..::
1.Go to a restaurant and just eat dessert.
2.Randomly dance with a guy. (I think I failed to mention I didn't dance at my junior or senior prom...pretty sad.)
3.Get Married (yeah I know...duh!)
4. Have kids (another duh)
5.Finish college
6. Become a teacher While I am not actually teaching what I thought I would be teaching, I did get to train people for work.
7. Travel overseas
8. Own a bulldog or a pug
9. Travel to many cities in America
10. Learn to enjoy Shakespeare <-----Ok this will NEVER EVER happen! I have however come to appreciate Shakespeare and all that he brought the the English language and literature. If you have never looked up something about "words and phrases that Shakespeare brought into the English language" you should!
11. Take a cruise to see whales <--Damn it! I was totally going to do that while I was in California! Did not have time! It will happen!
12. Take a day trip to an odd place.
13. Perform an anonymous favor
14. Overcome a fear like even though I've been on a cruise I still have that fear of deep ocean. I couldn't imagine getting in water that was super deep and knowing I couldn't swim to the bottom if I wanted too. Scary....
15. Watch the sunrise and sunset with a perfect view. <----I loved standing on the beach in California and watching the sunset. Beautiful
16. Watch the changing guard at Buckingham Palace.
17. Visit the tower of London.
18. Visit Machu Picchu
Etc.
Ok so on some of them I get a little elaborate, but a girl can dream can't she?

I will be thinking of items to put on my Bucket List while I am bored waiting to see if I am going to be chosen for the jury tomorrow.

Bucket List...
I will be thinking of things for my bucket list, since Misty says we should make one! Ok so honestly, I already had one that I made a few years ago of things to do before the age of.... I looked a while back, and I have actually done most of the stuff! I will see if I can find it, and ya'll can see what I have checked off!
Rrrr!
I totally have to be at the judicial building in Murfreesboro tomorrow morning at 9! UGH!
Jack convinced me to go downtown tonight. We were going to go to the Tin Roof to listening to the songwriter night, but we found out when we got there that they had moved it to another venue AND decided to charge to get in. We left. I was not going to pay cover anywhere! It is Tuesday! Then we went downtown, circled around trying to find a cheap parking spot. One place wanted 15 bucks. We finally found a 6 dollar parking. We walked down Broadway and wound up at Robert's Western Room. While we were there, our neighbor from across the street sent Jack a text message that he was at Melrose. We left downtown and headed there. It was live trivia night tonight. We got there too late to play, but I will remember that they play there. I will also have to go play with the Kline girls in Murfreesboro! Sounds like fun to me! :) Now we are back and home and just finished watching the first episode of the season of Sons of Anarchy. Did I mention Jax is hot? Yeah, I said it. He also has an accent in real life. Yum! :) Don't tell my hubby!

Mother Trucker!
First and foremost! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE! WHOOT WHOOT! 25 FOREVER! P.S. You might have to click on the photo to see it. It isn't showing when I view my blog.
I was really planning on going to work after I was finished today, but it just didn't happen. I have no guilt though because I was supposed to get 3 days off this week thanks to Labor Day.
As you already know, I had jury duty today. What I didn't know was that this was just orientation! I have to call EVERY DAY until October 1st to find out if I have to be there the next day! WHAT THE HELL!? I could serve on a jury EVERY DAY until the end of the month! I doubt that will happen but still! Oh AND I can't tell ya'll about any of the crazy drama that the court cases are about (I knew this already, but I'm just letting you know. ^u^)
And consider that your forewarning from JDH

I got my niece/nephew a Sophie from Babies R Us the other day, and THEN we went to Essex today, and I found another one at a much cheaper price! YAY! They both get one now! Jack is taking Rio and Jill to the zoo tomorrow, and he is going to give him his then! YAY!
