Bugger!

Last Saturday I was being lazy and didn't want to leave the warm comfy coziness of my bed on such a frosty winter morning. I decided to curl up under the covers and read my new Emily Giffin book. I only had around 30 pages to go, so my plan was to finish the book and then I would start my day.

After reading around 10 pages, I reached this point:

Have you ever seen such a thing? And right at the end of the book too! It wasn't just the next page either, all the rest of the pages continued on from 247 until the very last page in the book.

Fortunately a copy was on the shelf at our local public library, so Christopher and I raced off to nab it. That sure motivated me to get out of bed in a hurry!

...baby it's cold outside!

For his birthday last month Christopher's parents gave him a Blu-ray player. Since it's been so cold and snowy the past few weeks we've been hibernating inside, putting the BD Player through its paces and simultaneously exhausting the available Blu-ray discs at our local Blockbuster.

Here's what we've rented over the past month:

• Get Smart
• Wanted
• Tropic Thunder
• Ocean's 13
• Pineapple Express
• Iron Man
• Hellboy II: The Golden Army
• Kung Fu Panda
• Step Brothers
• Ghost Town
• Night at the Museum

Wow - we have never rented so many movies in such a short period of time before. Every time we returned one we would pick up another - vicious cycle. I think we need to take a bit of a break now to wait for some new releases. Good thing we didn't make it to the theatre much in 2008!

Admitted!

Today I accompanied Christopher to the Richard D. Tulisano Courthouse for his Connecticut Bar Admission Ceremony.

It was actually very nice to be part of this smaller ceremony instead of the main one held for the passers of the July 2008 CT Bar Exam, which took place back in November. While that ceremony would have had over 600 participants, there were only 24 attorneys being admitted on this day.

The ceremony took place in a small courtroom and we were allowed to take pictures afterwards. The judge was also really nice and let people take pictures with her. I got to sit in the jury box to watch Christopher take his oath and to snap some pics to remember this special occasion.

It has been a long four years of JD & LLM school, but you're done now and I couldn't be more proud. Congratulations Attorney Schwartz!
